The Dallas Wings are on the clock with the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft for the second straight year.
The Wings could take guard Azzi Fudd from UConn, Spanish forward Awa Fam Thiam or UCLA center Lauren Betts to complement a talented roster led by last season’s No. 1 choice Paige Bueckers.
Whoever Dallas chooses at No. 1 will make $500,000 in her first year thanks to the new collective bargaining agreement that was ratified last month.
That’s nearly seven-times what Bueckers made last season.
The No. 2 and No. 3 picks will get $466,913 and $436,016, respectively.
