Новичок «Даллас Уингз» Аззи Фад установила неудачный рекорд WNBA
В рамках 30-го сезона WNBA состоялся матч между командами «Индиана Фивер» и «Даллас Уингз». Встреча привлекла внимание тем, что в ней приняли участие четыре последних игрока, выбранных под первым номером драфта. Несмотря на победу «Уингз» со счетом 107:104, дебют Аззи Фад стал крайне неудачным: за 18 минут игры, выйдя на замену, она набрала всего три очка. Это самый низкий показатель результативности для игрока, выбранного под первым номером в дебютном матче WNBA.Ранее этот антирекорд принадлежал Келси Плам, которая в 2017 году набрала четыре очка в своем первом матче за «Сан-Антонио Старз». Главный тренер «Даллас Уингз» Хосе Фернандес прокомментировал выступление новичка, призвав её продолжать работу и отметив наличие глубокого состава защитников. Помимо Фад, в задней линии «Уингз» выступают Пейдж Бьюкерс, Азия Джеймс, Арике Огунувале и Одиссей Симс.Выбор Фад под первым номером драфта вызвал дискуссии о возможном влиянии её личных отношений с Пейдж Бьюкерс на решение команды. Сама Бьюкерс ранее отрицала связь между их отношениями и результатами драфта, заявив, что Фад получила этот статус благодаря своим спортивным навыкам. Следующий матч «Даллас Уингз» состоится во вторник против «Атланта Дрим».
Wings rookie Azzi Fudd sets dubious WNBA record with lowest-scoring debut by top pick
The highly anticipated 30th WNBA season tipped off Friday with three games, including the expansion Toronto Tempo’s first-ever contest.The action continued Saturday with a full slate, including Caitlin Clark’s return after an injury-riddled sophomore season.Clark and the Indiana Fever hosted the Dallas Wings on Saturday afternoon in a matchup featuring the four most recent No. 1 overall picks. The Wings outlasted the Fever 107-104, but the game was defined by Azzi Fudd’s — the most recent top pick — underwhelming debut.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFudd played 18 minutes off the bench, scoring three points — the lowest ever by a No. 1 overall pick in a WNBA debut.Wings coach Jose Fernandez addressed Fudd’s performance after the game, encouraging the rookie to, "Keep doing what she’s doing, it’s her first year in the league. We got five really talented backcourt players."EX-WNBA STAR CRITICAL OF SKY ROOKIE HAILEY VAN LITH, BELIEVES POPULARITY PLAYED ROLE IN DRAFT SELECTIONIn addition to Fudd, Dallas’ backcourt features last year’s top draft pick Paige Bueckers, last season’s No. 12 overall pick Aziaha James, four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale and starting guard Odyssey Sims.Until Saturday, Kelsey Plum held the record for the lowest-scoring debut by a No. 1 pick. Selected first overall by the then-San Antonio Stars in 2017, she scored just four points in her debut. The Stars relocated to Las Vegas in 2018 and was subsequently rebranded as the Aces.Despite the slow start to her first season in the league, Plum ended the year with All-Rookie team honors. In the years since, she's been named to four All-Star teams and won two championships with the Aces.The Wings’ decision to take Fudd with the No. 1 overall pick drew controversy, raising questions about whether Bueckers’ personal relationship with her influenced the selection. Late last month, Bueckers said last month it did not."Azzi Fudd was the No. 1 draft pick because she earned it, and it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with who she is as a human being, who she is as a basketball player," Bueckers said, according to ESPN.Neither Bueckers nor Fudd has publicly updated their relationship status since the April draft."Quite frankly, I believe me and Azzi’s personal relationship is nobody’s business but our own," Bueckers also said in April. "And what we choose to share is completely up to us."Next up, the Wings play their home opener on Tuesday when they host the Atlanta Dream.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
