The two are at different points in their basketball journeys, as Fudd is set to enter her final year in college, while Bueckers, who was the 2025 draft’s top pick, has become a star in just her first year in the WNBA.

The two were teammates at the University of Connecticut, which Bueckers led to the national title earlier this year.

After her stellar run at UConn, Bueckers has been a franchise cornerstone for the Wings, averaging 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.7 steals per game to be named an All-Star in her rookie season.

Paige Bueckers explains Azzi Fudd’s role in her pregame routine

Azi Fudd has been hands-on in Paige Bueckers’ pregame routines, as the Wings star explained that Fudd has been picking out her game-day shoes since entering the WNBA.

In an interview with Kicks, Bueckers described Fudd as her “basketball shoe stylist” and has been on her ear in choosing the best sneakers to wear every game.

“I usually get two, three, four, five shoes put together and then I actually call Azzi and have her help me pick them,” Bueckers said. “She has been doing a great job picking them…Yeah, Azzi is like my basketball shoe stylist.”

With Fudd supporting her, Bueckers is expected to continue her trajectory as one of the biggest stars of women’s basketball in the coming years, following her inclusion in the All-Star game.

But for now, she has big shoes to fill for the Wings as the team remained at the bottom of the standings at 6-14.
