NBA All-Rookie first and second team revealed

The NBA has unveiled the All-Rookies first and second team, and there were little surprises.

The NBA Conference Finals are about to begin and the association is still passing out honors. The 2014-15 NBA All-Rookie team was announced on Monday, the day before the NBA Draft Lottery which will help shape the futures of players who could make this list next season.

Minnesota Timberwolves’ Andrew Wiggins was a unanimous pick for the first team, getting 130 votes. His teammate Zach LaVine, who won the Sprite Slam Dunk contest during the All-Star Break, was named to the second team. They’re the only pair of teammates to make the list this season.
