Where will UConn’s Azzi Fudd be selected in the WNBA Draft on Monday?
Fudd, who helped lead the UConn women’s basketball team to the NCAA Final Four this season, could be the No. 1 overall pick, most likely in the top five. Two of the more recent mock drafts have Fudd going somewhere in that vicinity.
CBS Sports has projected Fudd to go third to the Seattle Storm in its latest mock draft, behind Awa Fam (Dallas) and Olivia Miles (Minnesota). Sports Illustrated‘s mock has Fudd going fourth to the Washington Wizards. In this case, UCLA’s Lauren Betts is going ahead of Fudd — at No. 2 to Minnesota — along with Fam No. 1 and Miles No. 3. Betts is projected fifth in the CBS Sports mock draft.
The Connecticut Sun, in its final season before moving to Houston, is projected to select South Carolina’s Ta’Niya Latson at No. 12 by Sports Illustrated and UCLA’s Charlisse Leger-Walker with the final pick of the first round at No. 15. In the CBS Sports mock draft, UCLA’s Gabriela Jaquez goes to the Sun at No. 12 and Cotie McMahon from Ole Miss at No. 15.
