ESPN analysts are calling for the identity of the mysterious voter who prevented Caitlin Clark from receiving a unanimous vote to win Rookie of the Year to be revealed publicly.
On Thursday, 66 of 67 WNBA Rookie of the Year (ROTY) voters selected Caitlin Clark as the award winner. In the end, unsurprisingly, Clark had arguably the best rookie season in the history of the sport.
However, WNBA ROTY voters' votes are anonymous, so we don't know the identity of those who voted for Caitlin Clark's biggest rival, Angel Reese.
Now ESPN's Andraya Carter wants voters to come forward.
“That's why we want the WNBA to make voting non-anonymous,” Carter said. WNBA countdown. “Because if you're the one who has that vote, you should be able to support that vote. And we need to know who you are.
“Voting is not anonymous in the NBA, so we want the WNBA to do the voting and see who voted where.”
Caregivers make great points. What does it mean to make voting anonymous? How can voters avoid receiving hate mail? The media members who vote for these awards are typically players, coaches, fans, and other members of the media. He makes a living by lavishing criticism on those involved.
If we can cook, we can serve it!
Anyway, here's a reminder of Caitlin Clark's dominance in the chamber this year and why it wasn't at all stupid to consider voting for anyone else.
Clark broke the WNBA record for most points by a rookie, most points by a point guard, most assists in a single game, and most assists in a single season by a WNBA player. , a rookie record for triple-doubles in a season. She also passed Deanna Taurasi for second place for most 3-pointers made by a player in a season.
And that's not even mentioning her impact on team and league merchandising, attendance and viewership.
So voting for someone else is pretty stupid. But if you're going to do it, make it your own.
