The idea of having co-WNBA Rookie of the Year winners for the 2024 campaign has generated a lot of discussion. The Indiana Fever are winning impossible games thanks to Caitlin Clark, who is developing into a triple-double monster.
While all of this is going on, Angel Reese is breaking records held by all-time greats like Candace Parker as the Chicago Sky tries to qualify for the postseason. Even if it’s all just entertaining basketball to watch, Metta World Peace expressed the general consensus.
In this case, Metta World Peace does have a point. They both quickly rose to prominence as the main characters in their own franchises. Stadiums were already packed for Caitlin Clark because of how unpredictable she become while in college. Her abilities were also advantageous to the Fever since they selected her first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
Averaging 16.1 points per game with a remarkable 39.3% shooting percentage from all three levels of scoring, Clark leads all rookies in points scored. She has only made 33.3% of her three-pointers this season, so she still needs to work on improving her shooting. Furthermore, it appears as though the rookie Fever player was playing in Iowa due to her excellent translation of her playmaking skills. Each and every night, she contributes 7.4 assists.
She’s not just effective on the offensive end of the floor. She has been playing insanely good point-of-attack defense for the Fever. Furthermore, she averages 1.4 steals each night thanks to her extraordinary talent for spotting hurried passes in the lane. Not to add, she cleans up the boards to effectively finish defensive plays. She has six rebounds per night thanks to this ability. She just needs to focus on making significant progress on her ball security. With an average of six turnovers per night, Clark tops all rookies in this category.
