As the WNBA takes center stage following March Madness and other basketball spectacles, two rising stars have ignited a conversation that could redefine the league’s future. JuJu Watkins and Sarah Strong, both gifted athletes with distinct playing styles, are drawing attention as the next generation of WNBA royalty. Their potential collision in the 2028 WNBA Draft raises questions no general manager wants to face: Who deserves the No. 1 overall pick?
JuJu Watkins, celebrated for her explosive scoring ability, finds herself at a crossroads after suffering a torn ACL during USC’s March 24 victory over Mississippi State. The injury, which typically requires 9 to 12 months of recovery, could alter her trajectory. If Watkins opts to sit out next season, she would retain two years of eligibility at USC, setting her up for the 2028 draft. The possibility of Watkins landing in the same draft class as Sarah Strong has already sparked speculation among fans and analysts alike.
That looks painful! Dawn Staley shocking reaction after one of her players almost injures herself
Strong, meanwhile, is building a reputation as one of the most efficient and versatile players in college basketball. The WBCA National Freshman of the Year showcased her dominance in the NCAA tournament, breaking records with 114 total points, the most by a freshman in tournament history. Her postseason averages of 19 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game have solidified her status as a rising star.
Everyone has an opinion
Fans have started debating the merits of both players, with contrasting viewpoints. Watkins’ scoring explosiveness and “dawg” mentality have earned praise from NBA star DeMar DeRozan, who mentored her during the offseason. On the other hand, Strong’s Duncan-like efficiency and quiet dominance have captured the admiration of those who value fundamentals and reliability.
The statistical comparison adds further intrigue. Strong’s postseason shooting percentages, 64.4% from the field and 50% from three, highlight her precision and control, while Watkins’ scoring style is more electrifying yet less efficient. Both players bring unique strengths to the table, making the decision for the hypothetical 2028 WNBA Draft even more complex.
For now, the conversation about JuJu Watkins and Sarah Strong is speculative but undeniably captivating. As these athletes continue to shape their legacies, the stage is set for an epic rivalry that could influence the WNBA for years to come. One thing is certain: the league’s future looks brighter than ever.

Seahawks’ Jalen Milroe has message for teams that passed on him in 2025 NFL Draft: ‘Belt to ass’
Getty Images The Seattle Seahawks took Jalen Milroe in the third round of the NFL Draft, a decision Milroe thinks they won't regret. Milroe, the fourth quarterback taken in the draft at No. 92 overall (No. 28 in the third round) made sure he had a message for all the teams that ended up passing on him with the first 91 picks.

While Milroe finished with the most touchdowns in the SEC last season (36), he also had the most turnovers (15). He had 16 passing touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns, the latter was the third most for a quarterback in SEC history. Milroe led the SEC with 71 total touchdowns over the past two seasons (39 pass, 32 […]

Torcedores do Valladolid criticam Ronaldo, dono do clube, após rebaixamento: ‘Antes era visto como Deus, agora é como o diabo’
Nesta quinta (24), o Valladolid perdeu de 5 a 1 para o Bétis, e foi rebaixado para a 2ª divisão do campeonato espanhol, com cinco rodadas de antecedência. Esse é o terceiro rebaixamento do clube desde que foi comprado por Ronaldo, em 2018. Por isso, o ex-artlheiro da seleção brasileira se tornou figura não grata entre os torcedores do time, que o consideram "um dos piores donos de clube da história".
