Sheryl Swoopes Reveals Why Caitlin Clark Shouldn't Win WNBA Rookie of the Year

However, Swoopes believes that what Reese has been able to accomplish with her supporting cast is more impressive than what Clark has done, citing that the Fever very well may have been a playoff contender without Clark on the roster.

"Is Indiana in the playoffs right now, without Caitlin?...When you look at the overall team, like the pieces that they have, without question, Indiana has better players than Chicago from top to bottom. No doubt about it," Swoopes added.

Given Clark's responsibility to make an immediate impact in the WNBA, Swoopes believes Reese's unexpected success in leading the Sky to a potential playoff spot warrants the WNBA's Rookie of the Year award.

The Sky currently stands as the No. 8 seed in the WNBA rankings with a 10-14 record.

There are plenty of games left on the schedule, but the top eight teams in the WNBA standings make the postseason, and Reese has surely been the best player on the roster throughout the year.
