The Wings selected Azi Fudd, a national championship winning guard from UConn who averaged 14.7 points while shooting 46.9% from the field.
She’s also the girlfriend of Dallas Wings franchise player Paige Bueckers.

The Dallas wings taking azzi fudd number 1 simply off the fact that she’s dating Paige Bueckers is diabolical for the wnba . The no shows the last 2 games of the ncaa tournament were wild https://t.co/22mHNsp5gi

passing on Olivia Miles all because you wanna pair Paige Bueckers with her UConn teammate & girlfriend Azzi Fudd is company malpractice.
Olivia Miles is the clear cut #1 overall player in this draft. Dallas Wings dropped the ball on this #1 pick

Will picking Fudd to reunite with Bueckers the right move for the Dallas Wings?
