The 2016 NBA Draft class had an atrocious rookie year. Two of the three finalists for Rookie of the Year were drafted in 2014, and the other finalist was a second round pick. The top pick, Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers, didn’t play at all due to injury, and the second and third picks were non-factors on their teams.
On Monday afternoon, when the NBA announced the All-Rookie teams for this past season, many Sixers fans were surprised that Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, the 24th overall pick of the 2016 NBA Draft, did not receive a single vote.
