Lauri Markkanen's celebration for his 21st birthday coincided with another major honor, being selected to the All-Rookie First team. Markkanen received 76 of 100 possible first-team votes to join Utah's Donovan Mitchell, Philadelphia's Ben Simmons, Boston's Jayson Tatum and the Los Angeles Lakers' Kyle Kuzma on the first team. Mitchell and Simmons were unanimous selections and Tatum was one vote short of joining Mitchell and Simmons.
