Skip Bayless, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese
In the WNBA this season, the battle to win the 2024 Rookie of the Year Award is one of the most entertaining ones to watch, with the likes of Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever leading the charts. Notably, many experts and analysts gave their opinion on the WNBA 2024 ROTY award, with Skip Bayless being one of them.
Both Reese and Clark have been going at it this season with consistently top performances for their respective sides. In addition, it seemed that Clark was leading the ROTY race after her recent performance, becoming the first rookie in WNBA history to record a triple-double. However, Reese took the lead back after her monstrous performance against the Las Vegas Aces.
Bayless also shared his views on X, claiming that he prefers Reese over Clark after Reese’s recent performance.
I still have Angel slightly for R of the Y over Caitlin. She had 13 and 10 tonight in a massive Chicago upset at Vegas. (Yes, Chennedy Carter took the game over with 34 attack-mode points.) Hard to look past Caitlin's record-shattering turnovers. But this race changes nightly.Skip Bayless wrote on X
On the contrary, this is an important result for Reese in particular since, in addition to her 13 points, she also pulled down 10 rebounds and sent out three assists—critical components of the game that mattered. It now remains to be seen who ends up snatching the declared ROTY 2024 Award, with the race going to the very end between Reese and Clark.
Skip Bayless shares controversial take on Caitlin Clark regarding ROTY award
Who is the favorite to win the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year title is now the most heated question in the WNBA community. Two rookies, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, are leading the debate. However, Skip Bayless shared his controversial take on the Indiana Fever star, claiming she has a very poor percentage for her 3-point shots.
I would have to... go Angel over Caitlin, And the reason being that Caitlin's specialty is shooting three-point shots. And [Clark] is 33.1% from three, and it ranks 32nd in the league.On the Undisputed Show, Skip Bayless said
In addition, Bayless further claimed that Clark has also had a lot of turnover issues in the WNBA this season, opting for him to pick Reese over Clark.
However, Clark still has the upper hand over Reese currently but is living on thin ice in the battle for the 2024 Rookie of the Year Award with her rival, Reese. It will be an intriguing few weeks in the WNBA, with both the stars going head-to-head against each other to claim the decorated title at the beginning of their careers in the sport.
