Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers was cheesing when Azzi Fudd’s name was called as the first overall pick by the Wings in the 2026 WNBA draft on Monday night. The pair went public with their relationship last year after they won national championship while teammates at UConn, defeating South Carolina 82-59 in the title game — with Fudd being named the 2025 NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player. Bueckers, the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year, stood up and flashed a big smile while clapping for Fudd, as seen on the ESPN broadcast.
