Azzi Fudd, the number one pick in the WNBA draft, secures the highest paid rookie deal ever, thanks to the new collective bargaining agreement. Fudds four-year, fully guaranteed contract starts at $500,000 and tops out at $646,360. Every first-round pick now enjoys guaranteed contracts, with salaries dropping for each subsequent pick. Last years top salary was $249,244, and Paige Bueckers, Fudds teammate, started at $78,831. The new CBA is a game-changer, boosting rookie salaries and setting the stage for a bright future in the WNBA. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
