Here are the two stars from women’s college basketball who made the list:
JuJu Watkins
It doesn’t get much more spectacular than Watkins.
The USC star has gone on a tear since she stepped onto the floor for the Trojans.
Now the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year, Watkins is averaging a ridiculous 27.1 points per game to go along with 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.
If it weren’t for LeBron James and Luka Doncic playing the way they are playing for the Lakers, Watkins and the Trojans would be the talk of the town.
The 19-year-old’s team has a 28-3 record despite losing to UCLA in the Big Ten Tournament.
An L.A. native herself, the 19-year-old Watkins inspires young basketball fans all over the place with her ability to score and carry her team to victory.
Paige Bueckers
UConn guard Paige Bueckers is another player who matches Watkins’ greatness, so it’s great to see both of them on this list.
A former Naismith College Player of the Year and Wooden Award winner, Bueckers has been a godsend for head coach Geno Auriemma and Co.
The Minnesota native has averaged at least 19.0 points per game, 3.5 assists per game, and 4.0 rebounds in her career.
Those are very consistent numbers for one of the WNBA’s future stars.
Although she is still looking to secure a national title, her UConn team is in a good position to do just that.

The Huskies’ overall record is 31-3, and they are coming off yet another Big East title.
They are in prime position for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, which can be attributed to the elite play from an influential star in Bueckers.
