With the WNBA rebooting this week, we have returned to the one question that has been looming in everyone’s minds. Who will be the Rookie of the Year? Surely, the entire 2024 WNBA draft class was nothing short of the greatest one ever. Still, the Iowa sensation Caitlin Clark had set herself apart from the very beginning. One player who was not overshadowed, though, is Angel Reese. Nevertheless, seems like the first overall pick has no trouble staying ahead, even Dawn Staley agrees with her prowess.
