Since the beginning of their Rookie season, fans alike have compared Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark for their exceptional form on the court. As the Rookie of the Year race draws closer, CBS Sports co-hosts went on to discuss who will come out on top.

On Tuesday, during the We Need To Talk Now, podcast, co-hosts Ashley Nicole Moss and Alicia Jay disclosed their favorite pick for the award while also siding with Reese over Clark.

CBS Hosts bluntly pick sides in Angel Reese Vs Caitlin Clark debate

During their conversation, Moss initially gave her two cents on the matter and said (via The Western Journal), “I know the Internet’s gonna hate this because they love to pit these women against each other. Right now, for me, it’s between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark for different reasons.”

She went on to explain that both young stars have delivered incredible individual performances. While Reese has led the race in rebounds, and steals and has registered six consecutive double-doubles, the Indiana Fever Guard has been loved for her scoring and assists.

It is important to note that recently, Clark’s stardom has even driven massive WNBA viewership across several channels. The Chicago Sky vs. Indiana Fever matchup on CBS received 2.25 million views approximately.

Nevertheless, Jay then shared her opinion and quickly disclosed that her favorite pick is Reese as the player has been consistent with her game right from the start.
