Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, who previously won the NBA Rookie of the Year award, was the only player unanimously selected to this year’s All-Rookie First Team, the league announced in a press release. A panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters selected the team.
Heat guard Kendrick Nunn collected the second-most First Team votes (98) and points (197). Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke, Pelicans forward and top overall draft pick Zion Williamson and Warriors forward Eric Paschall rounded out the First Team.
Morant and Clarke became the first Grizzlies duo named to the All-Rookie First Team since the 2001-02 season, when Pau Gasol and Shane Battier earned the honor. Nunn is the first Heat player named to the First Team since Michael Beasley in 2008-09.
Heat guard Tyler Herro, Raptors guard Terence Davis II, Bulls guard Coby White, Hornets forward P.J. Washington Jr. and Wizards forward Rui Hachimura gained All-Rookie Second Team honors.
The voting was conducted based on regular-season games played before the NBA's resumption.
