I understand your point about WNBA shooting percentages being lower than in the NBA, but I only used that as one example.
I also compared Reese to the rest of her team, as well as the rest of the starting front court players in the WNBA. I even accounted for players who mainly take the kinds of shots that Angel Reese does. She ranks very (very) low in shooting % compared to the other post players in the WNBA. It just is what it is.
While her rebounding is really impressive, her lack of offense takes her out of rookie of the year (in my opinion), especially since Caitlyn Clark is 2nd in the league in rebounds per game for all guards. To me, that negates the one advantage Reese would have in the rookie of the year race.
To me, Clark clearly has far more offensive responsibilities and is the better offensive player. Clark and Reese are even in steals, with Clark averaging more blocks per game. Reese is a tremendous rebounder, but so is Clark for her position.
I think both are terrific players and they will only get better. We just seem to disagree on who we’d vote for as rookie of the year. Like you said, fair enough. No harm in a simple sports disagreement.
