    Celtics Star Jaylen Brown Makes Stance on Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese ROTY Race Extremely Clear

    Past events have seen the likes of sports legends Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe make their claims for who should be the WNBA Rookie of the Year between Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese. Now it's Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's turn.

    Brown recently appeared on an episode of the Boardroom podcast, with host Viciane Ngomsi asking him about the race between the two rookie stars.

    Brown's response was firm and confident, giving Reese the edge due to her ability to rack up double-doubles at an elite level.

    “Angel Reese got my vote. I just think you know consistency to come in just double-double after double-double," Brown said.

    Brown is correct to point out Reese's ability to have performances featuring double-doubles game after game. She is averaging 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds so far as she has tallied up to 17 double-doubles and counting.

    On the other hand, Clark has nine double-doubles and one triple-double at the moment. She is putting up 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game.

    Both rookies have enjoyed their breaks after taking part in the WNBA All-Star Game, and while Brown's choice won't affect their performance, it will more than raise the level of interest fans have on these two as the season winds down.

    Anyone who knows basketball knows that a forwards job is post up & rebound. As Charles Barkley etc. Angel is doing her job & doing it well, can't take that away. CC has impacted her team much more & giving her team mates more opportunities. Maybe Angel is the top at her position but not the top of year.Add a bad attitude also. Stop color coding opinions.

    Obviously the children of the Caucasus are but hurt over his comment. Same people were butt hurt Clark wasn't on the Olympic team lol. She's not ready. No new "white hope" for American bball. Not gonna lie though, that kid Houston just drafted from Kentucky is cold. I get it, some of us have to take what we can get lol. Like Brown said, consistency is key. Some folks act like Clark doesn't play with 2 other All-stars lol. Given the same greenlight... there a few ladies in the WNBA who would dust Clark. All these new "women's basketball fans" are ridiculous. For the record, Iowa will likely never be as good as they were with Clark, not because she is such a great all around player. She could shoot like Ionescu and Kelsey Plum... who would have had better numbers if she played in that weak conference btw. There is a reason that conference has only 1 championship in NCAA Div 1 women's Bball in 42 yrs. They got lucky, they won't be getting elite recruits from that area anytime soon.
