Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls and Memphis guard O.J. Mayo are unanimous selections to the All-Rookie team. This should really not come as much of a surprise as both players have played well this season and deserved to be picked.
Rounding out the first team announced Thursday were Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook, New Jersey center Brook Lopez and Miami forward Michael Beasley. The second team was headed by Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon, who was joined by Minnesota's Kevin Love, Miami's Mario Chalmers, Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies, Portland's Rudy Fernandez and Charlotte point guard D.J. Augustin.
This years rookies were very good and it looks like the NBA is in good hands for many years to come. Over the last few years the infuse of talent in the NBA has been great and it should grow in popularity as when you have such good talent to watch people turn out.
