So you wrote an article about a player that I really like watching play basketball, Juju Wock, and she's something else.
00:08
And basically, in essence, you said that she can pick up the pieces from Caitlin Clark, you know, leaving Iowa for pro basketball.
00:18
And this girl, I got to tell you, I think her and that Rice kid at UCLA can both flat out ball.
00:24
Those are great women's basketball players.
00:27
Yeah, they were in the Elite Eight last season with Juju as a freshman, a much different player than Caitlin Clark.
00:35
Caitlin Clark is a point guard who can fill it up.
00:39
And she showed that this year by leading the WNBA in assists.
00:43
And before she left college, breaking the all time NCAA women's division one scoring record.
00:50
So she showed that she can do both those things.
00:52
Juju is more of a wing athlete, scorer type player.
00:57
And as Lindsay Gottlieb, the terrific coach for the SC women, told me last week, she doesn't like to use these comparisons.
01:07
But it's a little bit more like a like a LeBron, like a Michael Jordan, excuse me, like a Michael Jordan kind of player.
01:14
Not that it's she wasn't super comfortable using the comparison, but it's that it's that kind of player.
01:21
Who brings dynamism and intelligence on in terms of how to play and great shooting ability and fills it up.
01:29
And I think that's what you'll see from Juju in the Big Ten this year.
