Ever since the WNBA announced the results of its Rookie of the Year voting, fans have been in a frenzy trying to unearth the lone reporter who voted for Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese over Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, robbing the latter from winning the award unanimously.
Several reporters and sports media personalities took to social media to divert any scorn coming their way elsewhere, offering proof that they were one of the 66 people who voted for Clark to win the award.
Barring that individual being brave enough to admit it on their own, it may never be known who cast the singular vote for Reese as the WNBA keeps voting for the award private. However, ESPN analyst Andraya Carter petitioned the league to change that on a recent episode of “WNBA Countdown,” in which she also put the lone Reese voter on blast for their decision.
“This is why we would love for the WNBA to make voting not anonymous because if you were the person who had that one vote, you should be able to stand on it and we should know who you are,” Carter said. “In the NBA, voting is not anonymous, so I would love for the WNBA to make the voting so we see who put the votes where.”
“If you were the person who had that one vote, you should be able to stand on it, and we should know who you are”

Following Clark’s record-breaking rookie season, it’s tough to reason voting for Reese over the Iowa alum.
She led all rookies in points (769), points per game (19.2), assists (337), assists per game (8.4) steals per game (1.3), player efficiency rating (18.8), made 3-pointers per game (3.1) and free-throw percentage (.905).
Clark broke multiple WNBA records including single-season assists (337) and single-game assists (19), and she also became the fastest player in league history to reach 350 career points and 150 assists.
Additionally, Clark broke several rookie records as well including single-season points (769) and double-doubles for a guard (14), as well single-game rookie records for assists and made 3-pointers (7).
“It’s not like she just broke records that were set by rookies, she broke records that were set by veterans in this league when they were double digit (years) into their playing career,” Carter added. “The individual performances for Caitlin were phenomenal. They were incredible. … Her play was outstanding, but how she elevated her teammates was so fun to watch.”
