"She's a great player": JuJu Watkins talks about Caitlin Clark

JuJu Watkins and Caitlin Clark are regarded as two of the best to ever play in women's college basketball. Watkins is also dubbed as the heir to Clark's college basketball throne. The Indiana Fever star is the all-time scoring record holder in the NCAAB and a two-time national player of the year.

Watkins, who is in her sophomore year at USC, recently surpassed Clark's 1,000 career points two games faster but she has only great things to say about the WNBA star.

"You know Caitlin is a great player, but she's also a really good person, and I think when I first met her, she made herself available and we exchanged numbers and just was like whatever you need," Watkins said.
"She's just a really cool person, for sure was grateful for her kindness," Watkins continued.

Watkins also became the second player to sign a NIL deal with State Farm after Clark. The USC star continues to dominate on the court, averaging 23.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists on 44 percent shooting per game this season.
