Azzi Fudd, a UConn women's basketball alum, will take part in the WNBA All-Star three-point contest, becoming the only rookie selected for the event. Her collegiate career at UConn was marked by leading the Big East in three-point shooting percentage during her redshirt junior and senior seasons, and she was a key member of the Huskies' national championship team in her junior year. Over 115 career games she started 98, finishing as the seventh No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft.
Now in her first WNBA season with the Dallas Wings, Fudd is averaging 13.3 points per game and 1.9 assists, logging 31.6 minutes per appearance. The Wings sit fourth in the Western Conference with a 17‑9 record, a position bolstered by the presence of fellow UConn alum Paige Bueckers, who was drafted by the same club.
A Rookie's Spotlight
The All-Star weekend will feature a showcase of shooting talent, and Fudd's inclusion underscores the league's confidence in her rapid development. As the sole rookie in the three-point field, she joins a lineup that includes veteran sharpshooters, setting the stage for a compelling narrative as the Wings aim for a deep playoff run.
