Dallas Wings and the #1 Pick: Could Azzi Fudd Be the Future of Texas Basketball?

The Dallas Wings are projected to land the No. 1 pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft, and the conversation around who they’ll select is heating up. Among the most exciting possibilities is Azzi Fudd, the sharpshooting guard from UConn whose combination of range, vision, and scoring ability has made her one of the most talked-about prospects in years.

For Dallas, adding Fudd would mean pairing her with established stars like Arike Ogunbowale and Paige Bueckers, creating a dynamic backcourt that could shift the balance of power in the league. Beyond her skill, Azzi represents the new wave of players who bring confidence, NIL awareness, and cultural influence along with their game.

For young hoopers in Texas, the possibility of watching a player like Fudd in their own backyard is inspiring. It’s a reminder that basketball culture isn’t just about the NBA or men’s programs — women’s hoops is exploding, and Dallas is becoming the epicenter.
