WNBA Rookie of the Year odds: Caitlin Clark is Overwhelming Favorite
The No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft typically earns the benefit of the doubt regarding this award.
Of the last 16 winners since 2008, 11 of them were drafted No. 1 overall in their respective draft. That includes consecutive winners in Aliyah Boston (Fever) and Rhyne Howard (Dream) the previous two seasons.
Not only was Clark the top pick in this year’s draft, but she’s easily the biggest story in the league this season. Her popularity after a stellar career with Iowa has boosted ratings and revenue for the W.
Clark is also a dynamic scorer, as she’s proved by becoming the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer in both men’s and women’s basketball. The two-time National Player of the Year averaged 28.4 points per game in college, shooting 46.2% from the floor.
So far this season, Clark has had no problem putting up the counting stats necessary to win this award. Entering the break, Clark is averaging 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game. She is shooting 40.5% from the floor on 13.1 field goal attempts per contest.
Clark’s odds have moved from -1000 to -2000 (96.24% implied probability) since the season began.
Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese has been a double-double machine in her debut season. Her odds have gone from +4000 to +750, serving as the only real threat to Clark for this award.
But this has become Clark’s award to lose.
