Andrew Wiggins highlights NBA All-Rookie First Team
The NBA released its All-Rookie First Team on Monday, and to nobody's surprise, Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins led the way.
Wiggins is joined by Rookie of the Year runner-up Nikola Mirotic of the Chicago Bulls, Nerlens Noel of the Philadelphia 76ers, Elfrid Payton of the Orlando Magic and Jordan Clarkson of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Wiggins was the only unanimous choice, receiving all 130 first-place votes.
The 20-year-old Canadian led rookies in scoring at just under 17 points per game. Mirotic, like Wiggins, appeared in all 82 regular-season games, averaging 10.2 points and 4.9 rebounds. Payton also played every game for the Magic.
In a year where the rookie class was thinned in part by injuries to the likes of Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid and Julius Randle, seven of the top 10 picks in last June's draft didn't make either the All-Rookie First or Second teams announced Monday.
Noel was technically a rookie this season after missing his entire first year in 2013-14.
The second team is highlighted by Marcus Smart of the Boston Celtics and Wiggins' teammate - and Slam Dunk Champion - Zach LaVine of the Wolves. Bojan Bogdanovic of the Brooklyn Nets, Jusuf Nurkic of the Denver Nuggets and Langston Galloway of the New York Knicks round the unit out.
