WNBA reporters rush to clarify their votes after Angel Reese gets one over Caitlin Clark
After Caitlin Clark came up a vote short of winning the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award unanimously, journalists rush to publish who they voted for.
Caitlin Clark was the near-unanimous 2024 WNBA Rookie of the YearÂ
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark captured 66 of 67 votes to nearly unanimously claim the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year honor.
Unlike in other sports, writers are not mandated to make their votes public. Many surmised Clark would claim all 67 votes after averaging 19.2 points, a league-best 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game.
The remaining first-place vote went to Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese. The former LSU star is no slouch herself: Reese averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds before missing the end of the season with a wrist injury.
National reporter Khristina Williams echoed a similar sentiment: “‘I had Caitlin Clark on my ballot for Rookie of the Year.”
Clark’s teammate Aliyah Boston was the 2023 WNBA Rookie of the YearÂ
Clark’s teammate Aliyah Boston was the unanimous Rookie of the Year last season with far inferior stats, though she did not face as stiff competition as Reese.
Other unanimous WNBA rookie winners include A’ja Wilson for the Las Vegas Aces in 2018, Elne Delle Donne for the Chicago Sky in 2013, and Tina Charles for the Connecticut Sun in 2010.
“If you were the person who had that one vote, you should be able to stand on it, and we should know who you are,” said ESPN analyst Andraya Carter on a recent WNBA preview show.
Clark, who was already named the unanimous Associated Press Rookie of the Year in late September, did not acknowledge the vote when she released a statement about her win.
