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.
