How Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd became friends

Before they were UConn teammates, Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd were rivals for a spot in the 2017 FIBA U16 AmericaCup team. During a January interview with AP News, Fudd revealed how their relationship unfolded from rivals to friends.

“I was trying out for the point guard position and so was she,” Fudd said. “I can’t remember if we were on the same team or opposite teams but they already made a few cuts and we were getting down to who the actual 12 were going to be and I remember thinking, ‘This little white girl has nothing on me. I don’t have to worry about her, I will make the next cut over her.’”

Bueckers also gave her perspective on their perceived rivalry and how a strong friendship blossomed from that camp.

“It sounds like she was more worried about me,” Bueckers said. “I don’t even remember her in trials. We were on the same team but I didn’t even realize we were fighting for the same position, I was just trying to make the team. As we made the team, we were the first and second people off the bench and just bonded, we played extremely well off each other and it just grew as the years have gone by.”

Paige Bueckers convinced Azzi Fudd to join the UConn Huskies and although they have been on the same team, this season is the first one that they have enjoyed together for more than 15 games, as both players have suffered season-ending injuries over the years limiting their shared game time.

The duo might soon part as Bueckers heads to the WNBA via the draft while Fudd's future is still undecided.
