Wings select UConn star Azzi Fudd No. 1 overall in WNBA draft

UConn guard Azzi Fudd took top individual honors at the WNBA draft, and UCLA dominated the group category.

Fudd became the seventh UConn player to be selected No. 1 overall in the draft when the Dallas Wings took her at the outset of Monday night’s festivities in New York.

“There’s no words to describe that feeling,” Fudd said of hearing her name as the top pick. “It’s surreal. I had goosebumps the whole time. I’m so grateful. It was a super special moment.”

The UCLA players, fresh off a national championship, set draft records with five first-round picks and six total players selected.Lauren Betts went No. 4 to the Washington Mystics and Gabriela Jaquez was No. 5 to the Chicago Sky
