The WNBA Rookie of the Year award has been a subject of debate in recent months, with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese emerging as two of the most prominent candidates for the award. Skip Bayless has given his take on the matter.
Bayless supports Reese as his choice for the Rookie of the Year award. He highlighted a big flaw in Caitlin Clark's game that could be the deciding factor in the months-long debate. Bayless summed up his thoughts in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
The Undisputed host said that Angel Reese delivered a stunning performance against the Aces on Tuesday, posting a double-double. Moreover, Clark's high turnover rate gives Reese an advantage in the Rookie of the Year race.
"I still have Angel slightly for R of the Y over Caitlin. She had 13 and 10 tonight in a massive Chicago upset at Vegas. (Yes, Chenedy Carter took the game over with 34 attack-mode points.) Hard to look past Caitlin's record-shattering turnovers. But this race changes nightly," Bayless tweeted.
