Every great career begins somewhere, and sometimes that beginning is humbling. Azzi Fudd, the first overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, stepped onto a professional court for the first time Saturday in Dallas and scored just three points — a record low for any player selected at the top of the draft. Yet history reminds us that the opening line of a story rarely determines its final chapter, and those who have watched this game long enough know that patience is often the most honest form of faith.
