Caitlin Clark for WNBA MVP? Fever star has Rookie of the Year locked up, but can she push A’ja Wilson?

Caitlin Clark is headed towards becoming the WNBA’s 2024 Rookie of the Year, but can she make a run at the MVP crown before A’ja Wilson locks that in for herself?

As the WNBA regular season begins to draw to a close, one thing is for certain: Caitlin Clark should be crowned the league’s Rookie of the Year.

Since the Olympic break, Clark has averaged 24.6 points and 9.0 assists per game. The break ended up being a good thing for her as there was debate on whether she should have played for Team USA.

The Indiana Fever as a whole has been firing on all cylinders as of late as well. With the aid of Clark’s play, the team has been 6-1 over the last seven games. This led to the team’s first playoff berth in a very long time.

Clark has the ROY award most likely locked up, but a new discussion has begun to take shape: can the rookie challenge A’ja Wilson and make a run at MVP for the 2024 season?

The Las Vegas Aces star player and MVP of this past Summer Olympics in the women’s basketball tournament has averaged 27.5 points and 12 rebounds a game this season. She’s the surefire favorite at the moment.

However, it’s time to start comparing Wilson and Clark’s stats. The gap between them is getting tighter, and nobody has thrived on competition like these two throughout the 2024 season.

Undoubtedly, Clark has pushed the WNBA to new heights this year; her name is indeed something that deserves to be in the conversation. Wilson and Clark were named player of the week in their respective conferences on Tuesday.

The 2024 WNBA MVP race can come down to stats if it needs to, but it may also come down to impact on the game. We have never seen this kind of buzz surrounding the WNBA, like the one Caitlin Clark’s presence has created over the last six months.

The Indiana Fever are a small market team that has now been pulled out of obscurity and placed center stage against some of the best in the league. Clark has backed up the buzz she had coming in on draft night with phenomenal rookie stats and the competitive prowess that made her a treat to watch in college.

With all of that, we will wait to see if her impact is enough to capture the league’s best individual award as the season wraps up.
