Juju Watkins covers SLAM 248 (Women's College Basketball Player)
- Thread starter Gemini
- Start date
I saw the injury live. I hope the young lady recovers without an issue.
This is sad to see!!...JuJu was playing really great this season!!...I hope she gets well and recover from this!!..Prayers to her!!..
The Caitlin Clark record is now safe. I wonder if she has played her last game at USC?
They're misplacing their anger. It looked like JuJu hurt herself stopping to try and change direction. It wasn't because the other player ran into her.
Nah she did get bumped prior to the injury. Nothing malicious from what I could tell though
These pple need to stfu, it wasnt even the same leg
I was wondering if she would because she will miss her Jr season and if she did return to the court it would be in March Madness.
To go the WNBA early which doesn't even pay much?
I was wondering if she would sit out all next season and enter the draft. Do you think teams would like to see her hit the court again or would the still draft her as the number 1 pick?
I think there's no reason to go, because she would get more from USC and from NIL than being in the WNBA
Paige tore her ACL. Hell Azzi tore hers twice. It's more common for women's basketball players.
The question is will she redshirt or not.
Her first 2 years is enough body of work to still be the guaranteed the number one pick overall whether in 2026 or 2027. But a few GM's might wanna see her play in her senior year to see where she's at in terms of game shape and skill set.
If I were her I would take the whole junior year off to rehab physically and mentally. Use that time to regain her form, fundamentals and athletic muscle memory. So by her senior she can ball out and show everyone why she was and still is destined to be one of the primary faces of women basketball.
