UConn's Azzi Fudd won't compare herself to Rookie of the Year favorite Olivia Miles: 'Thief of joy'
The former UConn star praised Miles and said she'll leave the debate to everyone else.
Aris Fudd, a former standout at UConn, was recently interviewed after recovering from knee surgery. The interview took place after Fudd was drafted first overall in the WNBA Draft. Despite reaching lofty expectations, Fudd's place in the Rookie of the Year race was likely ended when Olivia Miles, the second overall pick, emerged as the standout point guard for the Minnesota Lynx.
Some fans questioned if Fudd deserved the top pick over Miles. However, Fudd chose not to engage in those comparisons, instead congratulating Miles on her outstanding rookie season. Fudd believes that comparisons are a "thief of joy" and take away from her own work.
