News from May 22. The NBA announced the All-Rookie teams. The teams were selected (regardless of position) by the 30 coaches who were asked to select 5 rookies for the 1st team and 5 for the 2nd team (and couldn't vote for their own players). A 1st team vote was worth 2 points and a 2nd place vote was worth 1 point. Kyrie Irving (Cle) was the only unanimous selection.
