Angel Reese Sits-At- No. 1 over Caitlin Clark “Here Is What She Said After WNBA Rookie Rankings….

with eight consecutive double-doubles. Teammate Kamilla Cardoso also moved up this week and currently sits at No. 3.

The Sky pulled off an 88-87 win over the Indiana Fever on Sunday while Reese and Cardoso became the first rookie duo to register 15+ points and 10+ rebounds in the same game since 1998.

Despite the loss, Fever rookie Caitlin Clark tallied her own double-double with 17 points and a career-high 13 assists. She ranks second on the list this week.

The Los Angeles Sparks will have to do without Cameron Brink for the remainder of the season as she suffered a torn ACL, but they still have Rickea Jackson enjoying an excellent rookie season. Jackson comes in at No. 4 this week, while Dallas Wings guard Jacy Sheldon is making her Rookie Rankings debut at No. 5.

Here is a closer look at the latest CBS Sports WNBA Rookie Rankings:

Reese has been productive on the boards and is currently No. 2 in the league with 11.1 rebounds per game. Against Indiana, she tallied a career-high 25 points along with 16 rebounds, and she’s now just one double-double away from tying Candace Parker’s single-season record streak from 2015.

Reese’s rebounding skills translated to the WNBA right away, but she had been struggling to finish around the basket. Earlier this month, Atlanta Dream center Tina Charles told her to take her time when trying to score, and Reese said that advice has helped her improve her field goal percentage. Since June 8, Reese has been at least at 50% in four of six games.

Clark is averaging a solid 16.3 points per game while also passing the ball extremely well. Her 13 assists against the Sky were the most in Fever history. Clark is averaging 6.6 assists per game, good for fourth best in the WNBA.

But, of course, Clark is known for her shooting range, and that skill is also translating nicely. She has registered a total of 51 3-pointers so far, just one less than Sabrina Ionescu and Kayla McBride for the league lead.

Cardoso registered a career-high 16 points against the Fever while going 7-for-9 from the field. That was her third consecutive game with at least 10 rebounds, as well as her second double-double in the WNBA. She and Reese will be a tough frontcourt to face as they continue to develop.

“[Angel’s] game is translating really well and I’m picking up on that, too,” Cardoso said Sunday. “I want to be a rebounder, I want to be able to make layups, so that’s something we focus on as a post player and forward.”
