Kelly “Yes I’m STILL Calling Him King Slender” Olynyk has just been named to the NBA All-Rookie second team. In fact, he was the leading vote-getter for the second team. Here’s how the second team voting shook out:
Player | Team | First (2 pt) | Second (1 Pt) | Total | ||
Kelly Olynyk | Boston | 19 | 81 | 119 | ||
Giannis Antetokounmpo | Milwaukee | 15 | 86 | 116 | ||
Gorgui Dieng | Minnesota | 21 | 54 | 96 | ||
Cody Zeller | Charlotte | 3 | 61 | 67 | ||
Steven Adams | OKC | 9 | 47 | 65 |
Kind of interesting that after all the talk about the “Greek Freak,” Olynyk ended up with more overall points than him in the All Rookie voting.
Michael Carter-Williams, Victor Oladipo, Trey Burke, Miles Plumlee, and Tim Hardaway, Jr. made the first team.
Phil Pressey ended up getting 2 votes. Nicely done.
