    JuJu Watkins' Savage Rejection of Young Fan is Turning Heads

    By Grant Young,

    5 hours ago

    USC Trojans guard JuJu Watkins burst onto the women's college basketball scene during the 2023-24 NCAA season.

    Despite being a freshman, Watkins only finished behind Caitlin Clark in points per game.

    And now with Clark out of college and competing in the WNBA, fans are expecting Watkins to lead the NCAA in scoring this season and bring USC to the Final Four.

    And a viral video of Watkins from earlier this week shows that she's working on her defense — against a young fan.

    A video surfaced on social media earlier this week of Watkins swatting a shot from a young Trojans fan during a USC summer camp.

    In the video (which was posted on X by @USCtrojansWBB), the young fan is asked whether he thinks he can score on Watkins.

    The kid says no, then proceeds to try anyways.

    Then Watkins swats his shot.

    "Ju pls lmaoo," the X user's caption wrote.

    "On this day a baller was born. Never again," one X user wrote in response.

    "I would have cried," said another.

    Clearly Watkins is preparing to show no mercy to any opponent this season, regardless of their age.
