The Dallas Mavericks now have two unanimous All-Rookie first team players on their roster as Kristaps Porzingis earned the honor after the 2015-16 season and Luka Doncic added his name today for his performance this year. There have been many unanimous vote getters over the years, including Trae Young who joined Luka in this year’s class.
With both guys receiving unanimous selections, the Rookie of the Year battle gains yet another chapter to its very short story. Although both rookies have had truly spectacular first NBA seasons and are deserving of the only two players in the conversation for Rookie of the Year, this is really a one man race.
