Dallas Mavericks guard-forward Luka Dončić and Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young have been unanimously selected
to the 2018-19 NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Dončić
and Young both received NBA All-Rookie First Team votes on all 100
ballots to finish with 200 points each. They are joined on the NBA
All-Rookie First Team by Phoenix Suns center
Deandre Ayton (195 points; 95 First Team votes), Memphis Grizzlies
forward-center Jaren Jackson Jr. (159 points; 60 First Team votes) and
Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (156 points; 56 First Team
votes).
The 2018-19 NBA All-Rookie First Team is composed of the top five picks in NBA Draft 2018 presented by State Farm
®: Ayton (No. 1), Bagley (No.
2), Dončić (No. 3), Jackson (No. 4) and Young (No. 5).
This
marks the first time since the 1984-85 season that the top five picks
in the previous NBA Draft have all been selected to the NBA All-Rookie
First Team (there was no All-Rookie Second
Team that season). Thirty-four years ago, the NBA All-Rookie Team
honorees were Hakeem Olajuwon (No. 1 pick in 1984), Sam Bowie (No. 2),
Michael Jordan (No. 3), Sam Perkins (No. 4) and Charles Barkley (No. 5).
Dončić, Young and Ayton are the three finalists for the 2018-19 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Award. The winner
will be revealed at the
2019 NBA Awards presented by Kia on Monday, June 24 at 9 p.m. ET on TNT. The third annual
NBA Awards, honoring this season’s top performers, will take place at Barker Hangar in Los Angeles.
The
2018-19 NBA All-Rookie Second Team consists of LA Clippers guard Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander (138 points), Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton
(132), Clippers guard Landry Shamet
(85), New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (77) and Hawks guard
Kevin Huerter (45).
The
NBA All-Rookie Teams were selected by a global panel of sportswriters
and broadcasters. The media voted for five players for the NBA
All-Rookie First Team and five players for the
Second Team at any position. Players received two points for each
First Team vote and one point for each Second Team vote.
Complete voting results by media member will be posted at pr.nba.com the night of the
2019 NBA Awards presented by Kia. Click
