LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards headline NBA All-Rookie teams

The top two vote-getters in this year's NBA Rookie of the Year voting, Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, were both unanimous selections for this year's All-Rookie First Team.

The NBA announced both rookie teams before Thursday night's Game 6 between the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Ball, who won the rookie of the year award, and Edwards, who finished second, were among four players who were named to either the first or second team on all 99 ballots submitted by the global panel of sportswriters and broadcasters who voted on all of the league's annual postseason awards.
