How long could the USC keep up clocking good numbers without JuJu Watkins?

Jazzy Davidson Needs To Work On Three-Point Shooting
Just in case WNBA fans don’t know about her, Davidson is already turning heads with her all-around game. But despite her performance, unlocking consistency from beyond the arc could make her a nightmare for defenders.
With Watkins sidelined, the pressure’s on Davidson to step up, and her early performances suggest she’s got the tools only if she can nail this one skill. Moreover, it comes as a responsibility for her, and she could look around to find inspiration, just like JuJu admired Caitlin Clark’s best traits.
