Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren headline NBA All-Rookie teams with unanimous selections
The NBA announced its All-Rookie teams on Monday with San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama and Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren as unanimous first-team selections.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller, Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski join them on the first team.
Wembanyama and Holmgren received first-place votes from all 99 voters, while Miller tallied 97 first-place votes. Jaquez received 89 first place votes, and Podziemski tallied 64.
Wembanyama and Miller were the first two picks in the 2023 NBA draft, while Holmgren was the No. 2 pick in 2022. He missed the entire 2022-23 season with a foot injury and was classified as a rookie this season alongside the draft class of 2023. Jaquez (No. 18 pick) and Podziemski (No. 19) had breakout seasons after being selected outside the lottery.
