Azzi Fudd Goes No. 1

Fudd, a national champion known for her elite shooting ability, arrives in Dallas as one of the most efficient prospects in college basketball history.

Her record-breaking salary marks a massive shift from previous years, where top picks earned significantly less under the old CBA. The draft also saw UCLA set a record with five first-round selections, including Kiki Rice to the Toronto Tempo.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert faced criticism during the event for her response to questions regarding her future with the league.
