WNBA Rookie of the Year Watch: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese create historic race
By Tyler Watts
1. Caitlin Clark
Clark can do it all. Her long-range shooting and flare have people interested, but the 22-year-old already leads the WNBA in assists per game. She has a shot to break the league’s record for dimes in a season. Clark is top five in 3-pointers made and among the 15-best in scoring in the WNBA.
She was a deserving All-Star and keeps getting better. The six-foot guard is making an impact on both ends of the floor. Fans have seen the impressive blocks and incredible steals to go with the elite offensive game.
It is Clark’s world and we are just living in it. She is already the W’s most popular player and has the Fever in position to end a seven-year playoff drought. Indiana had three All-Stars, and Clark setting them up has helped the entire team reach a new level.
Caitlin Clark is the only choice for 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year. Credit to Angel Reese. She would be the runaway winner in most years, but Clark is doing special things. She already set several records, and fans have not seen her best. Clark is elite on the court and taking the league to new heights off it. If she keeps it up, CC will be in the running for MVP soon enough.
