Could JuJu Watkins Shatter Caitlin Clark’s Scoring Record and Rewrite History?
Notably, their playing styles are both similar and different. Watkins will run the point, like Clark, but sheâs 6-foot-2, both quick and physical, so she often overmatches defenders and will power to the basket, from the initial set or while coming from off the ball. She’s so skilled at scoring 2-point baskets â which isnât a bad thing â thereâs no apparent need to start hoisting more 3-pointers to close that gap on Clark.
Iowa reached, but lost in, the national championship game in both of Clarkâs final two seasons, playing 77 overall games compared to 62 in her first two seasons. The 20% increase contributed to Clark tracking down âPistolâ Pete Marovich as the NCAAâs all-time leading scorer. She wasnât nearly on that pace through two seasons.
