Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has offered his thoughts on who he thinks should win in the tight race for the WNBA Rookie of the Year title.
The likely winner of the award will be Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese or Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
‘House of Highlights’ asked several NBA players, including Brown, for their opinions on who they would choose as the league’s Rookie of the Year.
Both Brown and fellow NBA star Immanuel Quickley believe Reese should be the pick for ROY.
They’re not alone: Other prominent basketball figures like South Carolina coach Dawn Staley and USC star Juju Watkins are backing Reese to win the award.

The race between the two should be tight, with both playing exceptionally well heading into the Olympic break.
Clark is averaging 17.1 points (11th in the league), 5.8 rebounds and leads the league in assists at 8.2 per game on 40.5 percent field goal shooting.
But Clark has also broken the record for most turnovers in a season with just under half of his rookie campaign remaining.
Meanwhile, Reese is averaging a double-double with 13.5 points and 12 rebounds per game, the highest figure in the league. He is shooting 40.2 percent from the field.
Reese also set the record this season for most consecutive double-doubles with 15 in his rookie campaign alone.
