Bueckers asked JRobinson who motivates her, and the five-star Sierra Canyon combo guard said it was her. Bueckers was caught by surprise, making her ask if this was for real, to which the No. 1 ranked prospect admitted that she was "serious." The reply made the Huskies star cover her face as she was blushing.

"I mean, you are you," Robinson said.
"I appreciate that," Bueckers said.

During a November interview with the YouTube channel "Sloan Knows," Robinson named USC Trojans star and former Sierra Canyon student Juju Watkins, UCLA star Janiah Barker and Bueckers as her mentors. She added that she and Bueckers have had "good conversations" with one another.
