The 2023 NBA Draft class was one of the most anticipated in recent memory, largely due to the presence of No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama. However, the Spurs big man isn’t the only rookie looking to excite fans this upcoming season. Making an All-Rookie team might not help a player when it comes to a contract extension, but it sets up a good trajectory for his career. Similar to All-Defensive teams, All-Rookie teams are not selected based on position. The only rule change for the 2023-24 season will be a threshold for games played, which sits at 65. It’ll be interesting to see if there will be any load management when it comes to the rookies.
Here’s a look at our predictions for the All-Rookie first and second teams for the 2023-24 NBA season.
