Wings’ Azzi Fudd sounds off on unfinished business with Paige Bueckers

The Dallas Wings may already boast one of the league’s most exciting young cores. According to No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd, though, the best is still yet to come. That’s especially true when it comes to her connection with Paige Bueckers. As the franchise looks ahead to the 2026 WNBA season, Fudd made it clear that what fans saw during the 2025 campaign was only a preview of a much more dangerous partnership.

“I feel like there’s still so much left on the table and so much unknown,” Fudd said. She emphasized that their on-court chemistry has not yet fully materialized.

Fudd and Bueckers had to navigate injuries and inconsistent stretches dating back to their college days. Now, the duo is finally healthy, aligned, and eager to unlock what many believe could be the most dynamic backcourt pairing in the league.

For Fudd, the phrase “unfinished business” isn’t just about wins. It’s more about realizing the full potential of a connection that has long been teased but rarely sustained.

"I feel like there's still so much left on the table and so much unknown… I can't wait, obviously, to play with her again, but to play with every single one of them."

That connection traces back to their time with the UConn Huskies. That was where Fudd and Bueckers entered as two of the most celebrated recruits in the country. Yes, flashes of brilliance defined their collegiate partnership. That said, injuries often prevented them from establishing long-term rhythm together. Now reunited in Dallas, the Wings are banking on that familiarity translating into elite production. Of course, Fudd was also quick to note that building chemistry across the entire roster remains the priority.

The future officially began on Monday, when Dallas selected Fudd with the No. 1 overall pick. They secured her on a record-setting rookie deal under the league’s new CBA. With a full offseason to build continuity, the Wings are emerging as a legitimate contender-in-waiting. And if Fudd’s words are any indication, the rest of the WNBA may soon feel the impact of a partnership that’s finally ready to deliver.
