Caitlin Clark has been delivering standout performances recently in the WNBA. On September 1, 2024, she played a pivotal role in leading the Indiana Fever to a 100-93 win over the Dallas Wings. Clark scored 28 points, dished out 12 assists, and grabbed 4 rebounds, showcasing her all-around game
Just days before, on August 30, 2024, she achieved a career-high performance, scoring 31 points along with 12 assists in a 100-81 victory against the Chicago Sky. She shot 8 of 14 from the field, including 5 of 9 from three-point range.
These performances have boosted her team’s playoff chances and further solidified her position in the Rookie of the Year conversation.
Caitlin Clark is considered a frontrunner for the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2024 due to her stellar performances throughout the season.
Her ability to dominate in both scoring and playmaking, combined with her leadership on the court, makes her a strong candidate for the award. While fellow rookie Angel Reese is also in the conversation, Clark’s impactful performances, especially in high-stakes games, seem to give her the edge in the race.
While Caitlin Clark has had an incredible rookie season in the WNBA, leading the Indiana Fever with standout performances, it’s less likely that she will win the WNBA MVP in 2024.
A’ja Wilson is the clear frontrunner for the 2024 WNBA MVP award. As of late August, Wilson has been dominating the league in multiple categories, leading in scoring (26.6 points per game) and blocked shots (2.7 per game), while ranking second in rebounds (11.9 per game) and posting an impressive efficiency rating of 33.6, the highest in the league
Her performances, such as a 41-point, 17-rebound game, and clutch moments like a game-winning buzzer-beater against the Chicago Sky, have solidified her MVP candidacy
Wilson is widely considered the most dominant player this season, with sportsbooks favoring her overwhelmingly to win her third WNBA MVP. Despite tough competition from players like Napheesa Collier and rookie Caitlin Clark, Wilson’s consistent impact across the season has made the MVP race “not even close”
Clark will likely will get some All-WNBA votes.
Clark and Angel Reese has propelled the league into mainstream attention and that is something people like Shannon Sharpe says needs to be recognized.
While on an episode of Nightcap, Sharpe spoke on how Clark has been busting bootys in the WNBA and players should embrace it.
