Tonight’s Sports Blitz Unveils Shocking WNBA Draft Twist That No One Saw Coming
And it started with a mild surprise at the top:
UConn’s Azzi Fudd went No. 1 to the Dallas Wings, making it the second straight year Dallas has drafted a Huskies guard with the top pick. Fudd, a capable scorer who should fit in well alongside Paige Bueckers, hit 45 percent of her 3-point attempts for a UConn team that finished the regular season undefeated. It also doesn’t hurt for chemistry that Fudd and Bueckers are dating.
Big names followed: TCU’s Olivia Miles at No. 2 to Minnesota, Spain’s Awa Fam Thiam to Seattle at No. 3 and UCLA’s Lauren Betts to Washington at No. 4. We also saw a trade in which Seattle nabbed LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson, originally picked by Golden State. The experts say this is a deep draft class. See the grades for every first-round pick.
