"The new collective bargaining agreement that was ratified last month gave huge pay raises to rookies. Fudd will make nearly seven-times what Bueckers earned last season as the top choice."
"Second- and third-round picks will make $270,000 -- which is more than the previous maximum salary in the old CBA."
Azzi Fudd has been selected as the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, set to earn $500,000. She will reunite with former UConn teammate Paige Bueckers, who was the top pick last year. The new collective bargaining agreement has significantly increased rookie salaries, with Fudd earning nearly seven times Bueckers' salary from the previous season. The second and third picks will earn $466,913 and $436,016, respectively, while second- and third-round picks will make $270,000, surpassing the previous maximum salary.
