News from May 5. 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. Emeka Okafor (Cha), Dwight Howard (Orl), and Ben Gordon (Chi) were unanimous selections.
