The WNBA Rookie of the Year race is shaping up to be one of the closest in years. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall draft pick, and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese, the No. 7 pick, lead the debate after Cameron Brink’s season ended due to injury.
Historically, the ROY voting delivers a clear-cut winner. The last close race was in 2019 between Napheesa Collier, the Minnesota Lynx's No. 6 pick, and Arike Ogunbowale, the Dallas Wings’ No. 5 pick.
