Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has offered his thoughts on who he thinks should win in the close race for WNBA Rookie of the Year.

The winner of the award is likely to be one of Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese or Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.

‘House of Highlights’ asked a number of NBA players, including Brown, for their thoughts on who they would choose as the league’s Rookie of the Year.

Brown and fellow NBA star Immanuel Quickley both believe that Reese should be the choice for ROY.

They’re not alone – with other prominent basketball figures like South Carolina coach Dawn Staley and USC star Juju Watkins backing Reese to win the award.
