Reese has made an outstanding case to be this season’s Rookie of the Year. She’s earned an All-Star nod and is the first rookie to win the WNBA Player of the Week award since Aaliyah Boston in 2023.
Currently, she also has a 14-game double-double streak going. She surpassed former Sky forward Candace Parker’s nine-game record during her active run.
Obviously, Caitlin Clark poses as Reese’s biggest threat for the away. Clark recently became the first WNBA rookie in history to record a triple-double. She also, like Reese, earned an All-Star nod as a rookie.
Who will earn the coveted rookie award by the season’s end? Stay tuned.
