About this episode
Azzi shares her experience as the #1 overall pick during the draft weekend, detailing the emotions and events leading up to her professional career.
Azzi and Ashanti are back — and this time, it’s official: Azzi is the #1 overall pick. The two recap draft night in real time, from the nerves of waiting to hear her name called to the moment everything changed and the reality of going pro set in. Azzi walks through the full draft weekend experience — workouts, nonstop meetings, media days, and the behind-the-scenes chaos of pulling together multiple looks (including a last-minute dress change under the bleachers just minutes before the draft). She also shares what it was like bonding with other draftees, getting advice from W vets, and stepping into a completely new chapter with the Dallas Wings.
