Orlando Magic guard Victor Oladipo received 124 first-place votes to land beside Carter-Williams on the first team backcourt. Here is the rest of the first team and the second team.
One notable absence is Michael Bennett who was the No. 1 pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former UNLV star was a surprise selection as the top overall pick in last year’s draft and he had a simply dreadful rookie season as he averaged 4.3 points and three rebounds and was often booed in front of the home crowd. He may go down as one of the biggest draft busts in the last 25 years.
First team:
Michael Carter-Williams, Philadelphia 76ers
Victor Oladipo, Orlando Magic
Trey Burke, Utah Jazz
Mason Plumlee, Brooklyn Nets
Tim Hardaway Jr., New York Knicks
Second team:
Kelly Olynyk, Boston Celtics
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
Gorgui Dieng, Minnesota Timberwolves
Cody Zeller, Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets
Steven Adams, Oklahoma City Thunder
Of the 10 rookies to be named to the All-Rookie team only Adams from the Thunder is still playing as Oklahoma City is in the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
