Azzi Fudd questions WNBA refs before even playing a regular-season game as a Dallas Wings rookie

 Azzi Fudd hasn’t even played a real WNBA game yet, and she’s already talking about the refs.

The No. 1 overall pick for the Dallas Wings expressed some concerns after Sunday's preseason game against the Las Vegas Aces, when she was asked about adjusting to the physicality of the pro game.

"Honestly, I feel more confused. I thought you could be physical in the W, and anytime you touch someone, it’s a foul," Fudd said. "I don’t know. I’m still figuring that out."
