Azzi Fudd goes No. 1

The selection reunites Fudd with her former college teammate Paige Bueckers, creating a formidable backcourt for the Wings.

Fudd, a national champion known for her elite shooting ability, enters the professional ranks as one of the most highly touted prospects in years.

Her historic salary marks a major shift from previous years, where top picks earned significantly less.

The draft also saw a strong showing for international talent, with several Australian players selected in the early rounds.
