Caitlin Clark leads Angel Reese in race for Rookie of the Year, according to panel of AP voters
NEW YORK (AP) - Caitlin Clark leads Angel Reese in the race for WNBA Rookie of the Year honors at the midpoint of the season, according to a national panel of voters who also rank the AP Power Poll each week.
Clark and Reese have garnered national attention with record-setting rookie seasons - leading to them being the first rookie duo to make an All-Star team since 2014 - so it's no surprise that they're the leading candidates for the award.
The pair have helped the league to huge increases in ratings, attendance and merchandise sales and with so much basketball still to be played an argument can be made for either to win the award.
But at the halfway point, the 15-member panel gives the edge to Clark in a 9-5 vote. One person didn’t vote.
