It’s time for the JuJu Watkins vs Caitlin Clark fan wars to end before they get worse

JuJu Watkins doesn’t think she’s better than Caitlin Clark, so why do some Clark fans think they have to tear down JuJu?

Over the weekend on our Trojans Wire social media timeline, we had a number of replies and comments in our mentions about how bad a player JuJu Watkins is compared to Caitlin Clark. Yes, JuJu Watkins missed 26 shots on Sunday against Oregon State. She didn’t play a great game. Saying JuJu needs to be better is logical and, moreover, correct. However, criticism of JuJu then went way overboard, as though appreciating good basketball was less of a goal than it was to simply tear down JuJu Watkins as part of a “JuJu Watkins vs Caitlin Clark” framing of the issue.

Not convinced this is true? We’ll show you, and we’ll get into a discussion of why comparisons of JuJu Watkins and Caitlin Clark should not lead to any fan wars. We have to nip this problem in the bud before it gets worse … and before USC and Iowa potentially face each other in the Women’s NCAA Tournament.

Let’s develop the conversation below:
