CHATSWORTH — A handful of WNBA hoodies dotted the crowd at Juju Watkins’ game Saturday night, orange signposts reminding everyone of the direction she’s headed.
“She’s the best athlete I’ve ever seen,” co-signed Marlon Wells recently, the decorated Temecula Rancho Christian coach with a quarter century of first-hand Southern California girls basketball knowledge. “She’s a pro,” he added. “She’s a pro right now.” That’s what I left thinking after catching up with the nation’s top-ranked recruit after Sierra Canyon, the top-ranked team in the nation, won its 27th game in 27 tries this season and asking Juju for her analysis.We took care of the ball, we defended well, our 3s were falling, etc.“We’ve been in this position before,” she said. “Playing that team at the beginning of the playoffs, so it was fun to see them again and just go out there and do what we do best.
Watkins treated the game – she finished with 18 easy points in three quarters, 16 coming before halftime – like one of those plasma balls. You know, the novelty items of yesteryear, those clear glass orbs with colorful currents dancing inside?
