It came as a shock that under-rated genius has passed Caitlin Clark in WNBA Rookie of the Year race, according to the “First Take”

The hosts of “We Need to Talk Now”, Ashley Nicole Moss and Alicia Jay, have stated that Angel Reese is their top pick for the WNBA Rookie of the Year award ¹. While Moss notes that the internet may disagree, she believes that Reese has a slight edge over Caitlin Clark due to her impressive defensive skills and rebounding abilities ¹. Moss also credits Clark for her offensive skills and ability to find her rhythm ¹.
Moss’s co-host, Alicia Jay, agrees with Moss’s assessment, stating that both players are a tier above the rest but that Reese’s consistency sets her apart ¹.

Jay also notes that Reese has been playing at a high level since the start of the season ¹. While both hosts agree that the season is far from over, they believe that Reese’s smooth transition to the WNBA gives her an edge in the Rookie of the Year race ¹.
It’s important to note that the Rookie of the Year race is still tight, and the competition between Reese and Clark is ongoing ¹ ² ³ ⁴. The two players have been going back and forth, with Clark currently leading the rookies in points per game and Reese leading in rebounds per game ² ³. Only time will tell who will come out on top.
