The Dallas Wings selected UConn star Azzi Fudd with the first overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, reuniting her with former college teammate Paige Bueckers.
The draft took place amid a transformed financial landscape for the league following a landmark labor agreement that significantly increased rookie salaries.
UCLA set a new record with six players selected, including three in the first round.
