Video: Sue Bird Explains Caitlin Clark WNBA Rookie of the Year Pick Over Angel Reese
WNBA legend Sue Bird has a straightforward formula when it comes to picking the Rookie of the Year.
Bird said she leans more on the “eye test” over individual stats or team record, and that’s leading her to pick the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark over the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese this year.
Reese arguably built an early lead on Clark in the Rookie of the Year race after recording a WNBA record of 15 straight double-doubles. The Sky’s 6-9 start exceeded expectations, with Reese playing a significant role in that success.
However, Clark has closed the gap and potentially pulled ahead as she and the Fever have found their stride. In her last 10 games before the midseason break, Clark averaged 18.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 11.4 assists, including a game where she dished out 19 assists in a loss to the Dallas Wings.
The Fever have moved ahead of the Sky by one game in the standings, further boosting Clark’s Rookie of the Year candidacy.
Individual awards are always subjective, especially Rookie of the Year, which can be judged by many different criteria. One downside to Bird’s metric is that any “eye test” tends to favor a dynamic high-volume scorer and playmaker over a power forward who excels at doing the dirty work inside.
However, several factors currently point to Clark as the slight favorite for the award.
