WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson is a huge fan of South Carolina point guard Raven Johnson’s current game, and she thinks Caitlin Clark may have something to do with that.
A’ja Wilson is one of the best players in the WNBA. The two-time champion and Defensive Player of the Year is a force to be reckoned with. She also has spoken openly about the ways in which South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley has sown into her and how Staley was a crucial part of her journey to become the player she is now.
When she recently joined the All The Smoke podcast for an episode, Wilson was asked what collegiate women’s basketball player she thinks has a bright future. Admitting her bias, she picked one of Staley’s current players, Raven Johnson.
Wilson believes that last season’s Final Four matchup, which had many talking about Johson’s infamous wave-off moment with Caitlin Clark, woke her up. ( See the 36:31 mark of the video.)
