Caitlin Clark has made headlines once again as she was recognized as one of the five players selected for the All-WNBA First Team for the 2024 season. This accolade follows her impressive debut year in the league, where she was also named the 2024 Rookie of the Year. Joining her on the First Team are basketball powerhouses A’ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, and Alyssa Thomas.
While Wilson and Collier were both unanimous selections, Stewart came close, missing only two First Team votes. Clark finished fourth in the voting for the First Team, garnering 52 out of a possible 67 votes, along with 14 Second Team votes. Notably, her combined total of 66 votes suggests that one voter chose not to include her on either team, a surprising oversight given her remarkable performance.
This situation mirrors Clark’s near-unanimous win for Rookie of the Year, where she received 66 out of 67 votes. As the voting process is anonymous, it’s uncertain whether the same individual is responsible for both exclusions, but the pattern suggests a strong likelihood.
one of the best in the league 😤
congratulations to Caitlin Clark on being named to All-WNBA First Team.
