Through 14 games, Clark averaged 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6 assists per game. Sky’s Angel Reese, meanwhile, had an outstanding rookie season, averaging 12.2 points and 10 rebounds per game.

    Rookie of the Year

    Caitlin Clark, fever

    Clarke has had a great start to her WNBA career despite facing the league’s best teams early on and putting up with their best defensive efforts. Angel Reese (12.4 ppg, 9.6 rpg) and Cameron Brink (2.9 ppg) have also had strong starts, but losing is his prize. Camila Cardoso’s debut was delayed due to injury, but she could enter this conversation as well.

    Clark is averaging 15.6 points (ranks 17th all-time for rookies) and is one of only two rookies to average at least 10 points, four rebounds and four assists per game. His six assists per game are tied for fourth in the league, and he’s the leading ball handler of any other player in this class and the biggest name to enter the league in its history.
