I’ve been watching all of USC’s games, and their biggest issue is the lack of teamwork. They have an incredibly talented roster, arguably one of the most talented, but they’re not playing as a cohesive unit. That said, I’m a huge fan of Juju-she’s an incredible athlete and an amazing person!

[@josephbobgreen]

This is why it’s so important to stop making comparisons. These players are individuals, each with their own unique style and strengths, and they’re completely different from one another.

[@amyk6319]

Yeah I also think bringing in Iriafen wasn't the best idea, since she will be leaving at the end of the year. I think it would have been much better for them to focus on recruiting some younger players who could grow together, even if that meant they weren't going to be as good this year. Then they could have used this year to grow and prepare for more success together over the next couple of years.

[@DavidStewart-v5e]

Right. Me, too, I'm a 'huge fan of Juju' because great players build Teams and Juju's working on it.

I agree that USC needs to play better as a team, but Mick’s wrong about JuJu. Yeah, her three wasn’t dropping but it will. She’s only 19.. Didn’t CC have a few horrible games shooting threes? What Mick doesn’t notice are her NBA moves and ability to go to the hoop. She will emerge as a great player, perhaps better than CC. We’ll see. Give her a chance to show you.

[@harleydude-xo8pu]

@@PredatorKingdom I have been saying Indiana needs to trade up to guarantee Citron, by draft day, she will be a top 5 player, if not higher. More then likely Chicago will take her because their coach says no guards under 6'.

[@PredatorKingdom]

@@Locutus.Borg. Sonia Citron would be a dream pickup for us, but the main reason why I want Sonia is so she can replace Mitchell. I don't want Mitchell here anymore, she can't play a lick of defense. Citron will upgrade that position. If Citron does get drafted before us, I would hope we take Lucy Olsen in the later rounds. We should sign and trade Mitchell and trade NaLyssa as well to get something in return. We might be stuck with KLS because of her contract, so either we gotta hope the Valkyries take her, or just live with her for another year, but she's not starting anyways.

[@PredatorKingdom]

@@harleydude-xo8pu I agree bro, we really might need to trade up to get Citron because she's a huge threat at #3 to Chicago and the two Washington picks as well before us. Sky's GM been talking about getting a wing, or a bigger sized guard and Citron fits that mold for them. That's why we need to use Mitchell or Smith to trade one of them to Chicago. Sky needs to replace Chennedy Carter, who's not coming back with Mitchell, we might be able to make a sign and trade play there to get that 3rd pick. If we can't do that then we gotta pray she slides down or start making plans to grab Lucy Olsen. There's some other guards out there killing it in their senior seasons as well at the college level, but we need a really good defender next to Caitlin going forward.

The biggest issue these players are going to face and people are not realizing it, is travel. USC is now part of the Big 10 and they have to travel all the way to Maryland, Ohio, Indiana etc instead of to Arizona, Washington, Oregon which are like a 2 hour flight vs 8 to 10 hour flights to the East coast and different time zones. That will take a huge toll on these players the longer the season goes. For example they play in Maryland and their game is at 11 am, it is 8 am in LA and the players have to get up by what 5 am LA time to get ready to play, these players are still sleeping at 5 am, 6 am, 7 am, 8 am back home.

[@amyk6319]

The media is just doing JuJu a disservice by pushing so hard to make her the next big thing or next CC. Of course she is going to get more attention this year from competitors & more double teaming. And it will take time for her to adjust to that. But in the end it will better prepare her for her transition to the WNBA. Hopefully she can block out the noise & just play her game & improve as she goes thru college. I think it is great that CC gave her number to talk if she needs advice on handling all the attention. I also think USC bringing in Iriafen was a bad move too. It would have been much better to focus on freshman recruits and/or bring in a younger player that will be a part of the team for the next few years to work alongside JuJu & build team chemistry vs bringing in a player that will then just be leaving the team at the end of the year.

The issue I saw with juju in that game is while she’s an amazing prospect she’s not there yet fully as a player which makes sense because she’s a sophomore. The main reason her efficiency is bad is because her shot selection is terrible she was settling for contested double team middies possibly the worst shot in basketball she doesn’t have to be an elite passer but she has to get better at that or teams will just double her all game. Also the coaching and spacing didn’t do her any favors that game but she has to get better quality looks to reach her full potential

[@MichaelSingleton44]

Citron had help with JuJu. Notre Dames coach made sure JuJu was double teamed where she likes to get the ball. Gotlieb got out coached because she didn't adjust to the half court defense of Notre Dame. JuJu should have had the ball in her hands at the top of the key, not the wing. They were sending a double team at her on the wing, forcing her to make bad shot attempts. If you move her on the ball, she is tall enough to see over the notre dames guards. This guy is a hater. Notre Dame was well prepared. Caitlin Clarke was fantastic, but Clarke's coach was much better at adjusting than Gotlieb. There is something called the pick and roll. You have to solid big players. Good coaches find a way to get their best players off when they are struggling. Old school offensive plays still work. If it's not working, you don't continue running the same play over and over in the half court offense. Teams are waiting for JuJu to drive from the wing. USC needs more than one offensive set. Put JuJu in open space at the key and run pick and rolls from the top of the key. She is expected to score, but she is not going to be efficient with double teams coming at her on the wing. Last year she had Lindsey and Paddia putting pressure on opposing teams, and they went to her in the flow. I think with Kennedy playing and Gotlieb adjusting to the defensive scheme of Notre Dame, the outcome would have been different. Marshall, in my opinion, was the only USC player that showed up to play, JuJu included.

5 games Mic. Stop the cap she’s better all around than Clark and Paige.

Caitlin has more basketball smarts then anybody.

[@wakawaka1976]

Offense she’s a genius defense not so much..

[@GoodGame391]

@@wakawaka1976she was tops in steals and blocks as a rookie and funny enough had the best defensive score in the starting lineup (or one of). She is actually very smart on both sides but she can’t be generating the most points on her team and league and doing all the defensive stuff. That’s why people have their jobs to do. How would she pace herself like that. No one is asking jrue holiday to score and pass all game and no one is asking curry to defend the best players on the other team all game either.

[@wakawaka1976]

@ ok just wondering if you are just numbers guy or if you know how to respond to a screen and can break down film? Did you watch most of the games? Are you just a CC fan or do you know basketball in general? Seriously wondering. What is Lexie Hull’s bad habit when someone sets a screen on her?

[@GoodGame391]

@@wakawaka1976 yes I know ball and very well. What rookie has better defence than Clark and why? Now tell me how that rookie did in assists and points? You Clark haters are something else. She needs to defend like jrue, shoot like curry and pass like magic for her to be considered good to you. Name 1 nba player that has everything? Even Lebron and joker and curry aren’t great defenders like that but for some crazy reason Clark is supposed to not ONLY generate the most points in the entire league at 36-40 points every game on average she is now supposed to be Carrington on defence too. She is the ONLY wnba player ever to be the assist leader and in the top 10 Ppg. Why is the standard for her so high but no one even holds nba players to these ridiculous standards. She was still disruptive enough on defence to have the steals and blocks she did as a rookie. More blocks than Reese btw

@@wakawaka1976 I didn’t watch Lexie like that but I do know a lot of them went under the screen instead of over it… in particular nalyssa smith.

[@stanwilliams5361]

The old double standards. One person could have a bad game, and it's chopped up as she was tired. She just had a bad day. Her teammates weren't helping her. Then, for the others, it's she got exposed. She just isn't that good. That's why I can't support bias commentary.

[@GOLDKW-bl4gp]

Stop comparing people to Caitlin Clark. No one in WCBB is even close. Juju seems to have regressed since last year. Maybe the fame came before the game. ND exploited her weaknesses and other teams will follow. 90% of Juju's scoring is driving to the basket and free throws. Let her shoot 3's. Whenever she dribbles go for the steal. Does not have good handles. ND had Juju on the ground taking the ball away from her. Juju needs to work on 3's, passing and dribbling. She is below average on all 3.

[@fernandopaterno3710]

I am a cc2 indiana fan but come on , it was unfair to. Judge juju based one game. It's too EARLY into the league. Same with Hidalgo, let's see the games unfold b4 we give objective opinions.

[@adetokunboogunleye2704]

She’s dribble way too much. Only ball player I see dribble a lot and make tough shots is Kobe and maybe Harden. Jordan just did those 2-3 dribbles and got to their spots to shoot. That’s why players like Jordan and Kawhi are efficient

[@Doomguy9OOO]

When she gets to the W and doesnt perform how people expect im gonna clown on her so mf hard bro just to make things equal. People treated Caitlin like garbage when she wasnt performing as expected so its only fair and equal if people do the same

[@GoodGame391]

Don’t hate on the players. She didn’t ask for this. Unfortunately Clark haters are trying so hard to find players they want to be better than her for some weird reason. Juju didn’t ask for this.

[@Doomguy9OOO]

@ not hating its just keeping things fair, if caitlin clark gets treated this way, we gotta treat paige and juju the same way its just the standard state of things now post-caitlin clark, gotta shit on the first pick when they fck up its just the state of things now, not hate just fairness

CAPS 😅

[@yusaqhwiff2442]

Bad free throw shooter. 3PT percentage is worse. Juju is overhyped. Is it new team mates? Who knows

[@imstanley34]

Jus waiting for all these media hailed stars to all fall lol lol they will jus fall flat on their face and the hype will jus smother out. This starting to feel like the 2005 - 2015 nba era was when all the top prospect didnt play well in the nba as good as they were. and the late round players became super stars.

[@ChristopherJWeeks]

JuJu has a tough road to hoe. She is very talented, but when she has the ball the game slows down. The difference is that CC moves the offense, she makes people run and cut and be ready. When JuJu plays her teammates just watch her, she is great at dribbling between her legs, and she is very aware, but if she gets guarded like CC did entering the league, I am not sure how well she will do with athletic "grown women" as DT likes to say🤷🏻‍♂

[@bryanthomas8583]

Is ridiculous to keep comparing CC to anyone, CC had an entire program built around her, no other McDonald’s all Americans. No top program will build a program around one player, cause they don’t have to, they get top players year after year, nobody at UConn or SC are going to average 30 plus, they can’t get minutes. CC entire career was an anomaly, will never happen again. Once again zero rings, winning championships is why people play the game everything else is just stat stuffing!

[@Legendarysuperninja]

Last time I seen her playing she couldn’t dribble with the left

[@diIbert]

If Juju got off the 🥦 and focused on her speed. She would be a fun fast player to watch. Even her interviews are slow boring. 🥦 is an epidemic. Especially in NBA.

[@audrasforest]

Ju Ju is on the long road toward improvement. Looks to me that she is waiting for the bus to arrive. 0 for 5 from 3 pt. range in this game. Obviously more practice will be helpful..Comparing her seems counterproductive commentary. Let's see where all this plays out in March 2025.

[@Beatles4Sale.]

They were collapsing the defense on to JuJu and she had trouble handling it. She will be fine. She needs to learn when to dish the ball. But her teammates have to play better. Did you watch the post game media q&a with USC? Her forearms are Huge! She is built completely different from Paige and Caitlin and she’s just 19! I agree, give her a chance. It’s only November. The idea is to be playing your best basketball as a team in March. We have a long way to go.

[@cedarpark4052]

She has a body type hat will lead to hitting the wall really early. At like 23-25

[@karlsfakelaugh]

Mick's videos are unfocused and prone to rambling and repetition. They could use more preparation. JuJu is spectacular but can't shoot. Huh? JuJu is more athletic than Caitlin? Maybe but JuJu looks slow on breaks and OK, she's blocking shots, but she gets her shot blocked too and too many times finds herself tied up in a clogged lane. If she's more athletic, shouldn't she be rising above defenders at her height? She's looked less than spectacular against UConn and Notre Dame. I saw the latter half of her 51-point game against Stanford. A lot of those points came at the free-throw line.

[@BMosby]

Why is KiKi getting a pass?

[@tyfunk6643]

In order for usc to contend for a national title they need juju to be more of a facilitator and rely on kiki more. I know kiki had a bad game but as of right now kiki is the more reliable player with more experience. They need juju to be a playmaker especially against rank opponents because they will guard her the same way citron did and as of right now juju is not good enough or experienced enough to handle that pressure of defense while also carrying the team. It took Caitlin till her junior tear to be able to handle that level of defense and also be efficient while doing so. It is harder for juju cause the defender does not have to worry about the pass like they would Caitlin so they can just fully focus on shutting her down. The people who complain about Caitlins efficiency are just haters because it's not based in truth. Caitlin was vary efficient in college for a guard and had a 58% true shooting percentage which was the 7th highest in the wnba and 2nd among guards. Juju efficiency wise is vary worrying because she will most likely be a sf in the wnba so a ts% in the 40's is vary bad for a sf. It is normal for the best guards in the w to shoot in the low 40's fg wise but that % for a sf is terrible.
