Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero headlines the NBA's All-Rookie team that was announced Monday.
The Magic forward is joined by Jazz center Walker Kessler, Thunder guard Jalen Williams, Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin and Kings forward Keegan Murray.
Banchero, a 6-foot-10 forward out of Duke leads the team after an overwhelming Rookie of the Year ballot saw him garner 98 of 100 first-place votes. He averaged 20 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 42.7% from the floor and 29.8% from 3-point distance in 72 games on an Orlando team that saw a 14-win improvement over the previous season. The No. 1 overall pick in 2022 has so far proven the Magic correct for taking him in a draft that also saw Jabari Smith Jr.
Kessler, a 7-1 center, was the No. 22 pick out of Auburn. He arrived in Utah from the Timberwolves in the trade for Rudy Gobert. He slotted nicely into Gobert's spot in the post, where he became an immediate defensive force averaging 9.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. His 72% shooting rate from the floor isWilliams was the No. 12 pick out of Santa Clara. The 6-6 guard averaged 14.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 52.1% from the floor and 35.
Mathurin was the No. 6 pick out of Arizona. A 6-6 small forward, he worked his way into Indiana's starting lineup at the end of the season that saw him average 16.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.6 steals. Like Banchero, he'll look to improve on his efficiency in his second season after shooting 43.4% from the floor and 32.3% from 3-point distance as a rookie.
Murray was the No. 4 pick out of Iowa. He worked his way into a starting role on a loaded Kings roster that led Sacramento to the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. A 6-8 forward, Murray averaged 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 45.3% from the field and 41.1% from 3-point distance.
