When the Wings selected Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 pick during Monday night’s WNBA draft, the guard became the highest-paid rookie to ever enter the league thanks to the new collective bargaining agreement passed last month.
Every player selected in the first round of the draft will receive a fully guaranteed four-year contract because of the new CBA. The money amount decreases slightly by each draft pick, meaning Fudd will earn the most expensive contract amongst her peers.
