The race for the John Wooden Women’s Player of the Year will be an interesting one because of a rarity among the contenders.
The women’s game features two previous winners of the Wooden Award. Caitlin Clark won it last season, and Paige Bueckers won it as a freshman in 2021. So, it’s no surprise they are the two betting favorites for the award.
