The Indiana Fever have made the playoffs for the first time since 2015 behind the force that is Caitlin Clark. The rookie leads WNBA newcomers in points per game and assists. She has led the charge with teammate Aliyah Boston in turning the Fever around. Clark has only one major obstacle to her claim as Rookie of the Year: the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese. Reese has excelled in the WNBA as well, leading the league in rebounds per game and averaging a double-double throughout the season. I think it will be a tight race for the award, but I feel that Clark will squeak by Reese. Clark will win the award based on her role in breaking the nine-year playoff drought for the Fever.
