Azzi Fudd Headlines All-Star 3-point Contest in Chicago
Azzi Fudd, the No. 1 overall pick, will headline the Dallas Wings’ All-Star weekend as the sole rookie in the 3-point contest in Chicago, joining Wings standouts Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard. She has 50 three-pointers this season and set a Wings rookie record with six 3-pointers in a game; Fudd is the only rookie in Friday’s 3-point field. The field includes Marina Mabrey, Rhyne Howard, Bridget Carleton, Natisha Hiedeman and Janelle Salaün, with Sabrina Ionescu, Caitlin Clark and Kayla McBride absent from this year’s event. Defensively, she has 22 blocks in the first 25 games, the most by a guard in that span since Alana Beard, signaling two-way potential. In the Wings’ 99-98 overtime loss to the Liberty, Fudd posted 15 points and a block while Dallas played without Paige Bueckers, and the team remains in playoff contention at 17-9. Fudd’s season continues to bolster Rookie of the Year consideration and team improvement.
