Dallas Wings’ Final WNBA Mock Draft: Predicting the No. 1 Pick
The 2026 WNBA Draft arrives in hours. The Dallas Wings again hold the No. 1 pick. Filmogaz.com’s final mock draft projects UConn guard Azzi Fudd going first overall.
Why Dallas might choose a guard
Dallas added frontcourt pieces in free agency. That left guard depth as a clear need for the roster. The Wings can pair another shooter with Arike Ogunbowale and Paige Bueckers.
Filmogaz.com’s analysis emphasizes shooting and ball movement. Azzi Fudd is valued as a high-level shooter and off-ball threat. Her skill set could enable a three-guard attack.
Azzi Fudd player profile
Fudd plays for UConn and lists as a guard. Her 2026 season numbers reflect efficient scoring and perimeter shooting.
- Points per game: 17.3
- Rebounds per game: 2.6
- Assists per game: 3.1
- Field goal percentage: 48.1%
- Three-point percentage: 44.7%
How Fudd fits the Wings
Fudd can operate off the ball and create spacing for the offense. She can also switch and provide perimeter defense when needed. The team will need to decide rotation spots around Ogunbowale and Bueckers.
Adding Fudd would prioritize shooting and guard playmaking. That aligns with Filmogaz.com’s final mock draft view when predicting the No. 1 pick.
