Oh nice, I just noticed that they updated it and added the 2nd team. I agree with this as well, and I'm obviously very happy that my boy Rajon Rondo got on. He should have in the first place, but I thought that there would have been a chance that they'd leave him off because he didn't get consistent minutes until halfway through the season.Finally, I agree with an award list!
I dont see how you guys think Balkman should've made it. Sure he was good when he played, but that was not very much and you cant just base the 1st and 2nd rookie teams off of potential.
If only Doc was playing Rondo at the beginning of the season over Telfair....Rondo would have probably been a first team selection. Oh well, these really don't matter too much to begin with, Mateen "journeyman" Cleaves was on the all-rookie first team if I'm not mistaken.
This years rookie class is the most dissapointing class ive seen in awhile, next year though it should be much different with stars like Oden and Durant.
