Brown and Quickley are among the notable basketball personalities, including Dawn Staley and Juju Watkins, who have voted for Reese. However, despite Reese’s exceptional season, Clark is also performing at a high level.

Meanwhile, Reese is averaging a double-double with 13.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, shooting 41.1% from the field. She recently broke the record for consecutive double-doubles in the WNBA with 15 games, surpassing Candace Parker’s nine-game record.
