Azzi Fudd's 2025 WNBA Draft Decision Remains Uncertain

UConn's star guard Azzi Fudd faces a crucial decision about turning pro as the WNBA Draft approaches.

UConn guard Azzi Fudd is keeping her options open regarding a professional career, having yet to decide whether to enter the 2025 WNBA Draft.

Fudd will celebrate senior day with her team, even as she considers her future. Due to a medical redshirt last season, she has an extra year of eligibility.

“Her motto all year is staying present in what’s happening right now,” Tim Fudd, Azzi’s father, told CT Insider. Translation: “Azzi’s focus is on the present moment.”

With a series of injuries throughout her college career, including missing games due to ACL and knee issues, Fudd’s injury history complicates her decision.

If she decides to declare, she’s projected to be a first-round pick, depending on her upcoming performances. Returning for another season could benefit her, especially with potential changes in rookie contracts for the 2026 WNBA season.

Ultimately, both paths provide their own risks and rewards, as Fudd weighs the potential outcomes before making her final decision. As the NCAA championship approaches, the pressure might intensify for her to make a choice.
