Caitlin Clark‘s Indiana Fever have struggled out of the gate, managing only 2 wins in 11 games played while the Connecticut Sun are dominating the East and have gone undefeated through 9 games.
Those 9 losses have certainly not been the fault of superstar Caitlin Clark who is averaging 15.6 points/game, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.4 assists. With numbers like that she’s had an immediate impact on the Indiana Fever but evidently it wasn’t enough to crack the top 5 of ESPN’s WNBA Rookie rankings where Cameron Brink came in at #1 overall followed by Angel Reese at #2.
ESPN’s Neil Payne published ‘Ranking the WNBA‘s top 2024 rookies, by the stats’ on ESPN+ so it’s behind a paywall for non-subscribers. The rankings, based on advanced stats, use ” Basketball-Reference’s Win Shares, Estimated Wins Added from Player Efficiency Rating (PER) and wins generated via the Simple Player Rating (SPR).”
In 6th place of ESPN’s WNBA Rookies Rankings, Caitlin Clark received scores of 73 for Scoring, 48 for True Shooting, 94 for Passing, 52 for Rebounding, and 5 for Defense. ESPN says Caitlin Clark’s per-minute percentile ranking is 14/100.
Conversely, Cameron Brink at #1 has a per-minute percentile ranking of 49/100. She received scores of 43 in Scoring, 76 in True Shooting, 56 in Passing, 74 in Rebounding, and 80 in Defense.
Angel Reese at #2 had a per-minute percentile ranking of 48/100. Her scores were 52 for Scoring, 11 for True Shooting, 25 for Passing, 90 for Rebounding, and 39 for Defense.
