Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has given his opinion on who he thinks should win in the neck-and-neck race for WNBA Rookie of the Year.
The winner of the award will likely be Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese or Indiana Fever defenseman Caitlin Clark.
‘House of Highlights’ asked several NBA players, including Brown, who they would pick as the league’s Rookie of the Year.
Brown and NBA colleague Immanuel Quickley are both convinced that Reese should be the choice for ROY.
They’re not alone: Other prominent basketball figures, including South Carolina coach Dawn Staley and USC star Juju Watkins, are also backing Reese to win the award.

The battle between the two is likely to be an exciting one as they will both be playing exceptionally well in the run-up to the Olympic break.
Clark is averaging 17.1 points (T-11 in the league), 5.8 rebounds and leads the league in assists with 8.2 per game on 40.5 percent shooting.
But Clark also broke the record for most turnovers in a season with just under half of her rookie campaign remaining.
Meanwhile, Reese is averaging a double-double with 13.5 points and a league-leading 12 rebounds per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the field.
Reese also set the record for most consecutive double-doubles this season, with 15 in her debut season.
