Voting panel picks Las Vegas star A’ja Wilson as the unanimous choice for Player of the Year at this point in the season
Dallas Wings guard Odyssey Sims knocks the ball away from Las Vegas Aces centre A'ja Wilson on July 7, 2024, in Las Vegas.Caitlin Clark leads Angel Reese in the race for WNBA Rookie of the Year honours at the midpoint of the season, according to a national panel of voters who also rank the AP Power Poll each week.
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. “Today, I would say Clark, only because they have one more win overall as a team and have a 2-1 lead head-to-head,” said voter Christy Winters-Scott, a basketball analyst for the Mystics. “Clearly this could change as the WNBA season progresses. It has been a complete joy for me to witness how both players have evolved as professionals in such a short amount of time in the league.”
Reese set the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles with 13, passing Candace Parker’s mark of 12 set across the 2009 and 2010 seasons. She’s leading the league in rebounding with 11.9 a game.
