Diana Taurasi’s Candid WNBA Draft Remarks Excite Dallas Fans
The 2026 WNBA Draft is set for April 13. That is about a week and a half after the 2026 NCAA Tournament championship.
UConn, led by Azzi Fudd, reached the Final Four in Phoenix. The Huskies advanced after a win over Notre Dame on Sunday.
Draft outlook and the Dallas Wings
Many mock drafts project Fudd as a top selection. A No. 1 pick would follow Paige Bueckers, who was chosen first in 2025.
If Fudd lands at the top, she would join the Dallas Wings. Fans and analysts point to her four-year pairing with Bueckers as valuable team chemistry.
Diana Taurasi’s comments
Diana Taurasi offered candid remarks about the prospect on NBC Sports. She spoke with Natalie Esquire and Terrika Foster-Brasby during the appearance.
Taurasi said Dallas will face a meaningful choice with the top pick. She noted Fudd’s on-court connection with Bueckers and called it a major factor.
On-court performance and draft pressure
Fudd has enjoyed a career-high season. Her March Madness play reinforced her status as a potential top prospect.
Taurasi, the No. 1 overall selection in 2004, also discussed draft nerves. She emphasized the honor of joining the WNBA and the league’s global standing.
What it would mean for Dallas
Reuniting Fudd and Bueckers would create excitement in Dallas. Taurasi’s candid remarks help excite Dallas fans about the possibility.
Any team selecting Fudd would gain a two-way contributor. But pairing her with Bueckers offers a built-in rapport and headline appeal.
