Philadelphia's Ben Simmons and Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell were unanimous selections for the NBA all-rookie first team, announced Tuesday.
The 76ers point guard, Mitchell and Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum are the finalists for rookie of the year.
Simmons and Mitchell both received perfect scores of 200 by getting 100 first-place votes in all-rookie first-team voting. Tatum, forward Kyle Kuzma of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Lauri Markkanen of the Chicago Bulls join them on the first team.
Tatum just missed out on being a unanimous selection, finishing with 99 first-place votes and one second-place selection for 199 points.
Dallas point guard Dennis Smith (96 points), Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (87), Atlanta Hawks post player John Collins (76), Sacramento guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (75) and Phoenix forward Josh Jackson (45) garnered second-team selections.
