Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese Lead the Race
The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year race is shaping up to be a close one, with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese emerging as the frontrunners.
Caitlin Clark

Angel Reese
* Led LSU to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight in her sophomore season. * Averaged 20.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in her collegiate career. * Shot 52.5% from the field.
Other Contenders
Other players to watch in the Rookie of the Year race include: * Aaliyah Boston (South Carolina) * Diamond Miller (Maryland) * Taylor Mikesell (Ohio State)
Who Has the Edge?
According to a recent poll of WNBA writers, Clark is the narrow favorite over Reese. Clark's versatility and ability to score, rebound, and assist give her a slight edge over Reese, who is a more dominant scorer but less well-rounded player.
Prediction
Caitlin Clark is the favorite to win the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award. Her versatility and ability to impact the game in a variety of ways give her the edge over the other contenders. However, Reese is a close second and could certainly challenge Clark for the award if she continues to develop her all-around game.
