League history indicates that having two consecutive top picks is usually a significant boost for any franchise. Sunday&#8217;s draw held no surprises, maintaining the order of the top five teams according to the odds: Wings, Minnesota Lynx, Seattle Storm, Washington Mystics, and Chicago Sky.\n\nIn the projections prior to the draft, Awa Fam, a young Spanish player, was the favorite to be the first pick. Although she remains a strong candidate to join the Wings, the situation has taken an unexpected turn.\n\nFollowing Azzi Fudd&#8217;s outstanding performance, the UConn guard, at the Hall of Fame Women&#8217;s Showcase, attention is now focused on the Huskies&#8217; senior. Fudd and Paige Bueckers, the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2025, are elite players who could bring the Wings back to the playoffs.\n\nWNBA labor negotiations continue, and before the April draft, more details about each team&#8217;s composition are expected to be known.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Draft Predictions: Players to Watch<\/h3>\n\n\nHere is the most recent draft draft, which includes four UCLA players as possible first-round picks.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1. Dallas Wings:<\/strong> Azzi Fudd<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nUConn | Guard | 5&#8217;11&#8221; | Senior\n\nFudd demonstrated his worth with 55 combined points in victories against Michigan and Utah, with an impressive 58.1% shooting efficiency. Averaging 21.0 points per game, 51.1% in field goals, and 54.8% from the three-point line, Fudd, if he stays healthy, is a key figure in the offense.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1123%2Fr1579849_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Azzi Fudd de UConn\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Azzi Fudd de UConn ha sido proyectada como una selecci\u00f3n de loter\u00eda.
