My guess: Caitlin & Angel will garner co-Rookie of the Year honors

As I said in previous posts, see below.....



If you have ever played the game against bigger guys you know above to be very, very true.....Loco, I don't think you are giving above enough consideration to above and the fact that CC is leading the league in turnovers.....but agree to disagree....

Scoring in the paint is physical and I’m not trying to downplay how hard it is to play down low. However, if you look at the league leaders in fg% (for men & women), those lists are always dominated by forwards & centers who take the types of shots Angel Reese does.

It is a physically tough shot, but statistically, it is a very high % shot.

I compared Angel Reese to other starting front court players in the WNBA, and more specifically, starting front court players who attempt most of their shots within 5 feet or the rim.

Even setting aside the argument of how difficult her shots may or may not be, relative to other WNBA players at her position, who primarily attempt those same types of shots, Angel Reese ranks pretty low.

I addressed Caitlyn Clark turning over the ball too much in a previous post and why I would still vote for her as rookie of the year. I completely understand if people see the turnover thing differently than I do. It’s just a difference of opinion.
