last night, Watkins put up a school-record 51 points(!!) en route to a win at Stanford.
second-highest scoring performance in conference history only to Kelsey Plum’s 57 pts vs. Utah the day she became the NCAA Div.-I all-time leading scorer.
The debate is whether Juju is WNBA ready now. A player like her is rare and this gets brought up every few years whether or not the WNBA needs to lower their age to enter the draft. It happened with Ionescu and then disappeared.
or JuJu could stay at USC, average 30+ PPG for her three seasons in the offense-oriented Big Ten, and try her hand at breaking whatever scoring record Caitlin Clark is about to set in a few games…
