Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston weighed in on the possibility of Azzi Fudd landing with the Dallas Wings in next year's draft. The Wings have the first pick, and there's a chance they select Fudd.

Speaking on her "Post Moves" podcast with Candace Parker, Boston predicted the Wings to draft Fudd.

"I could see them going with Azzi at number one," Boston said. "I mean, we're not surprised because they did have the worst record for a little minute, but I could see them going with Azzi still number one."

Candace Parker agreed with Aliyah Boston's prediction, but she also thought that Azzi Fudd would fit in with the Minnesota Lynx, who have the No. 2 and the Seattle Storm, who have the No. 3 selection. Parker even suggested Olivia Miles as a potential No. 1 pick for the Dallas Wings.

The three-time NBA champion explained that Miles is a pure playmaker who would fit in perfectly with Paige Bueckers, especially if the Dallas Wings want her to play more as a shooting guard. Parker and Boston also discussed other prospects like Awa Fam from Spain, though they acknowledged they didn't know much about her game.

As for the Fudd-Bueckers pairing, it could make sense if Arike Ogunbowale does not return to Dallas. Fudd is the perfect replacement for Ogunbowale if she decides to sign with a different team in free agency.

"Off the court, she has an equity stake in three-on-three league Unrivaled and a deep bench of sponsors, including Nike, which made her the first college NIL athlete with a Player Edition sneaker, and DoorDash, which named her creative director," Forbes wrote.

Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier was one of three All-Star alumni, along with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays and Kate Pratt Theobald, the commercial director for Liverpool.
