Jewell Loyd to be named WNBA Rookie of the Year
The WNBA is expected to announce Jewell Loyd as its 2015 Rookie of the Year presented by Samsung. Official word should be released Thursday afternoon.
The Rookie of the Year receives a trophy and $5,000 check.
Loyd, a 5-foot-10 guard, had a peculiar start to her professional career. The No. 1 overall draft pick was an early-entry due to an age exemption but eight games into the season Loyd requested she not start because she wasn’t ready for the role.
The former Notre Dame star ended her rookie season well, averaging 13.6 points and 2.6 assists in her final five games. Overall, Loyd led all WNBA rookies in scoring (10.7 points per game) and was fourth among the newcomers in rebounding (3.5).

Jewell had a nice year. But Stokes was, without question, the ROY. Voters need to look at more than PPG.
