WNBA Rookie of the Year odds: Caitlin Clark is Overwhelming Favorite

The No. 1 pick in the WNBA Draft often has a strong edge in the race for this award.

Since 2008, 11 of the last 16 winners were selected as the No. 1 overall pick in their respective drafts, including the last two recipients, Aliyah Boston (Fever) and Rhyne Howard (Dream).

Clark, not only the top pick in this yearโ€™s draft, is also the leagueโ€™s biggest story this season. Her remarkable career at Iowa has not only made her a household name but has also driven up ratings and revenue for the WNBA.

As a dynamic scorer, Clark has already proven her prowess 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 field.

This season, Clark is putting up the impressive stats needed to secure this award, averaging 17.8 points and 8.3 assists per game.

Her odds have shifted from -1000 to -5000 (reflecting an implied probability of 98.04%) since the season’s start.

Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese has been consistently delivering double-doubles in her rookie season, with her odds improving from +4000 to +1500, making her the only real competition for Clark.

However, it seems this award is now Clarkโ€™s to lose.
