Caitlin Clark Makes History: Rookie Star Earns Spot on All-WNBA First Team

 

Caitlin Clark Receives All-WNBA First Team Honors in a Remarkable Rookie Season


On Wednesday, the league unveiled its All-WNBA teams, revealing that Caitlin Clark has secured a spot on the first team. She garnered 52 out of 67 possible votes, capping off her outstanding debut season.

 

This recognition adds to the accolades for the 2024 Rookie of the Year, who also placed fourth in MVP voting during her first season while breaking multiple WNBA records.

Notably, Clark is the first rookie to be named to the first team since 2008, the year when Candace Parker was honored as the 2008 MVP, Rookie of the Year, and All-WNBA First Team member. Since the year 2000, a total of five rookies have made it to the First Team: Clark (2024), Parker (2008), Diana Taurasi (2004), Sue Bird (2002), and Tamika Catchings (2002).

Alongside Clark, the first team features Las Vegas forward and 2024 MVP A’ja Wilson, Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier, New York forward Breanna Stewart, and Connecticut forward Alyssa Thomas.

 

Both Wilson and Collier were selected unanimously. Collier also earned the title of 2024 Defensive Player of the Year, and Wilson was recognized as the first unanimous MVP since the league’s inception in 1997. Additionally, Collier, Wilson, and Stewart received first team All-Defense selections.

 

Voting for the All-WNBA teams allows voters, similar to the NBA, to choose the best players irrespective of their positions.

The second team included New York guard Sabrina Ionescu, New York center Jonquel Jones, Phoenix guard Kahleah Copper, Seattle forward Nneka Ogwumike, and Dallas guard Arike Ogunbowale.

 

Schnell is one of the 67 individuals on the voting panel.
