Former NBA player Nate Robinson believes a potential ego clash may arise between JuJu Watkins and Jazzy Davidson following the USC freshman's stellar collegiate debut game. As the Trojans routed New Mexico on Tuesday night, Davidson proved why she was scouted among the top players in the country.

In an 87-48 blowout win, the Trojan player led her team with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and a block. However, Davidson struggled when it came to putting the ball in the basket. She converted only 25.0% of her field goal attempts.

When @brwsports hyped up Davidson in an Instagram post, 3x Slam Dunk Champion Nate Robinson made a wild prediction. The former NBA player predicted that JuJu Watkins and Davidson might have an ego clash when the former returns from the injury next season.

"She nice asf but Juju ain’t letting that ride lol 😂," Robinson commented in the post.

While Robinson is entitled to his opinion, so far, there has been no signal from either party that they are insecure about their positions on the team. On the contrary, when Davidson committed to play for USC, Watkins made posts on her social media hyping up her new teammate and welcoming her with open arms.

Last month, when Jazzy Davidson posted pictures of herself in USC's home and away jerseys, JuJu Watkins posted a wholesome comment for her teammate.

Unlike Robinson's claims, Watkins has rather welcomed her teammate with open arms.

JuJu Watkins and Jazzy Davidson's games are complementary to each other

Unlike what Nate Robinson thinks, when JuJu Watkins returns next year, her game would perfectly fit with Jazzy Davidson. In the first two years, the Trojans relied heavily on Watkins for both scoring and facilitating, which resulted in her excessive use.

However, Davidson's game is a lot different from Watkins, who is a very high-volume scorer. She averaged 27 points as a freshman and nearly 24 points in her sophomore year. Davidson brings more than just scoring on the floor. She is an excellent facilitator and could be a big factor on defense in any game with her quickness.

When Watkins returns, she will have another player to share the offensive responsibility and the ball-handling duties. Moreover, Davidson's presence will help Watkins take her game to the next level.

Watkins will miss this entire year as she continues to rehab her ACL injury. She tore her ACL during the second round game against Mississippi State during the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
