NBA Names All-Rookie Teams: Flagg, Knueppel Lead First Team Honors

NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA revealed its All-Rookie team selections Wednesday evening, with Cooper Flagg of Dallas, Kon Knueppel of Charlotte, and VJ Edgecombe of Philadelphia earning unanimous spots on the first team.

Rounding out the first-team honors were Dylan Harper from San Antonio and Cedric Coward of Memphis. Harper received recognition on every ballot cast by voters, earning 93 first-team selections and seven second-team mentions out of 100 total votes.

These same five players were the sole recipients of votes in the Rookie of the Year competition, where Flagg narrowly defeated Knueppel for the top prize.

Second-team All-Rookie recognition went to Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen from New Orleans, Ace Bailey of Utah, Maxime Reynaud from Sacramento, and Collin Murray-Boyles of Toronto.

The league plans to reveal its All-Defensive team Friday, followed by the All-NBA team announcement Sunday. The Coach of the Year award will be announced next Tuesday.
