WNBA legend Lisa Leslie gave major props to rookie stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, saying both deserve the Rookie of the Year award.
WNBA legend Lisa Leslie is a big fan of both Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, and she has a message for all the fans who are arguing over their success.
In a social media post over the weekend, Leslie gave a major shoutout to both Clark and Reese, who are enjoying phenomenal rookie seasons. The two are the frontrunners for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award as they each continue to set new records. "I don't care what comparisons you make both and deserve the Rookie of the Year Award!" Leslie wrote on X. "The pressure and the weight of this season has forever changed the WNBA and both rookies rose to the top and exceeded all our expectations. Take a bow ladies."Clark, selected No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever, became the first rookie in league history to record a triple-double earlier this season.
The former Iowa star set a Fever franchise record for most points by a rookie, passing Indiana legend Tamika Catchings. So far, Clark is averaging 18.7 points, 8.4 assists and 5.6 rebounds per contest. Reese broke the league's consecutive double-double record, posting 15 straight earlier in the 2024 campaign. The No. 7 pick by the Chicago Sky also recently broke the WNBA's single-season rebounding record and passed Tina Charles for most double-doubles by a rookie.You might have a favorite between Clark and Reese, but Leslie is right, both are deserving of the league's Rookie of the Year honor this season.
