Just head this on the radio. I'll see if I can find a source. He joins Frye, Paul, Bogut, and Williams. No surprises really. I'm more interested in where he finishes in the RoY voting.
the best he can finish is 2nd although personally i would vote for felton 2nd then charlie 3rd that been said my prediction is that he will score 2nd
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK, May 4 – Chris Paul of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets headlines a talented group of rookies named to the T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie Team, the NBA announced today. Paul, the only unanimous First Team selection, is joined by Toronto’s Charlie Villanueva (56 points), Milwaukee’s Andrew Bogut (55 points), Utah’s Deron Williams (46 points) and New York’s Channing Frye (45 points). Paul became the fifth rookie to win the T-Mobile Rookie of the Month award for every month of his rookie season, joining Cleveland’s LeBron James, Denver’s Carmelo Anthony and San Antonio's Tim Duncan and David Robinson. Paul, who led all rookies with 21 double-doubles, averaged rookie highs of 16.1 points and 7.8 assists while also recording 5.1 rebounds and 2.24 steals. The T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie Second Team consists of Indiana’s Danny Granger (43 points), Charlotte’s Raymond Felton (40 points), Houston’s Luther Head (28 points), Atlanta’s Marvin Williams (15 points) and Boston’s Ryan Gomes (14 points).</div> http://www.nba.com/rookies/allrookie_060504.html
What the hell? Someone thought that Villanueva didn't deserve First Team? Raymond Felton's second team selection will raise some eyebrows, but Villanueva belongs in the First Team. Sums up a great rookie season, hopefully he can become a 18/9 guy next year consistently.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Buckets:</div><div class="quote_post">Well deserved but Felton should've been first team over D-Will.</div> i agree but i think NBA put felton as a PG therefore the 2nd team however though felton did play some SG too...if derron can, so can he other than that the all rookie team looks ok
I don't think they looked at position when determining the team. If Felton had stayed healthy all season and been given more time in the beginning of the year, there's no doubt he'd up there with Villanueva for 2nd best rookie.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Buckets:</div><div class="quote_post">Well deserved but Felton should've been first team over D-Will.</div> Agreed.
From what I know they dont take postions into account like that, they just look if theres two gaurds and three forwards/big men. But anyways good to see people agree, taking nothing away from D-Will though, Raymond performed much better.
Good job Charlie! When the Raptors drafted him, I was going crazy, thinking they had screwed up again like the previous year. I was also caught up in the Gerald Green hype lol. Thanks for proving me wrong, Charlie, great rookie year.
