Who will have the better season? Juju Watkins or Hannah Hidalgo?

Hannah Hidalgo and Juju Watkins might be the best big rivalry in WBB...but who will have a better season?
New videos all the time!

I differ with this opinion. I think JuJu will increase her points per game with better efficiency. Plus, even though they got KiKi its still JuJu's team, and the offense goes through her. She had three 5th seniors around her last year. I see JuJu averaging 29 next year. She will be stronger and better.

dope video bruh, Team Hannah

[@colpul2103]

I think Hannah was the best freshman last season. Nothing against JuJu, she is amazing but she also had a 44+% usage rate. JuJu scored more per game but Hannah scored more per 'turn'. Hannah was also more efficient, a much better defender (and JuJu is not an anverage defender), and she makes Notre Dame near impossible to puressure. If with the new talent some of the load is taken off JuJu and she adapts to that she could have a banger year even if she doesn't score as many points, she'll be much more efficient and her other numbers could come up. JuJu for all her amazing skills does have a big weakness, she is not strong with her off hand. If she hasn't worked on that in the offseason expect her to be pushed to drive left. She does a good job of finishing with the wrong hand but nonetheless it is something that can be exploited defending her.

Every award that juju won last year regarding being freshman of the year disagrees with you. Does it not say something that juju had a high usage rate because her teemates were significantly worse than what Hannah had? I watched 3 Notre Dame games last year. Hannah does not get gameplanned for like Juju does. Literally when they come to screen her they blitz her thats all i see. Juju would literally be the other teams entire defensive gameplan. Hannah also disappeared when ND needed her most. You talk about jujus efficiency like Hannah didnt shoot 43% to Jujus 40% with juju averaging 5 more shots. Hannah is a better defender than Juju that is literally all she has on her

[@colpul2103]

@@JeffreyAguirre-gg5zm I am certainly no going to argue that JuJu is not a great player or that she didn't deserve the awards she got. Also, if you've seen JuJu on podcasts or sports shows she is 100% a class act. When you talk about 'best', 'MVP', 'PoY', you are being subjective. There is only one single stat with objective importance and that is final score. That score is a team score. So, you aren't 'wrong' for thinking JuJu was the best, howeve others aren't wrong for thinking Hannah is, or Fulwiley who does not get the credit she deserves due to SC's style and depth. Honestly from a pure basketball perspective I'm not sure Fulwiley wouldn't be the first name mentioned if she played on a different team.

@@colpul2103 your point only further proves my point. Notre Dame is an established program same with South Carolina. Notre dame was coming off of back 2 back sweet 16 appearances . USC hadn't made it past the round of 32 in 20 years. They hadn't won the pac12 championship in 10 years. Juju took a team that finished 12-16 last year to their first elite 8 in 30 years. Usc had 2 recruits last year including juju and now they have the #1 recruiting class and they grabbed the #1 transfer player because what? They wanna be jujus teemate.

[@colpul2103]

@@JeffreyAguirre-gg5zm And those are good arguements to why you think she's the #1 freshman. I think only scoring 27 pt/gm with a 44+% usage rate is why she is #2. I also feel like you can't presure ND BECAUSE of Hannah and that is important to my rankings. To me a player and double so a point guard are more than just stats. Hannah makes teams pay for presure, manages the game pace, gets everything out of her team, and her plus/minus is pretty telling how important she is to the team. But really, it is OK that you have JuJu as your #1, she is a very good player and a beast who will win lots of awards and with in the next couple years will be the face of the NCAA Women's Basketball like Clark was this last season.

[@mysterylover9546]

I do think that some of JuJu’s stats may go down, particularly rebounding, but honestly I think she’s going to come back better. She’s already been talking about improving defensively and her efficiency. I expect her to get more steals and I expect her to make more shots. I think they are going to find better ways to get her the ball compared to this last season. Plus, she doesn’t seem like a player that sits back and waits for the ball. I think she’s still going to be under that basket right along with KiKi looking for a rebound or a block. I expect KiKi to have more rebounds than Watkins, but I still think the latter is going to be dropping 30-point games. Either way I’m excited to see USC play this season! I think JuJu is coming back even harder!!

[@DreamliveBigger12367]

Team Hannah!!!!

[@scalum28]

Depends on what you mean by a better season .Does a better season mean individual stats or overall game that results in more wins? You’re right, most likely Juju won’t average as many points per game but that’s a good thing for the overall good of the team. I would bet Juju cares more about winning than stats.

[@BraySpeaksBall]

I think think there’s a good chance we see both of them go all the way and the winner will depend on injuries, matchups, UConn, etc

[@TashaDeidre]

I think JuJu will have similar PPG stats. According to Coach Lindsay, the senior transfers are there to help. The offense will still run through her and she’s still going to get to her spots. I see Kiki and Talia falling into the roles McKenzie Forbes and Kayla Padilla left. I

[@BraySpeaksBall]

@@TashaDeidre Talia I agree but she wasn’t a big scorer at Oregon state either. But Kiki is a bit different case. She’s a pretty high volume shooter for a big so I expect her second in scoring behind Juju but the question is how much

[@jerseyjoe82364]

MiLaysia Fulwiley. JuJu played in the Slack 12. Fulwiley plays in an elite conference...the SEC

[@ReadR00ster1]

Fulwiley and Tessa Johnson will both have better season because they are brining home another Natty.

[@moonshine541]
