Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren Headline 2023-24 NBA All-Rookie Team

The NBA honored the top first-year stars from the 2023-24 season, with the San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama and Oklahoma City Thunder's Chet Holmgren leading the way on the All-Rookie team.

Here are the full first and second teams:

Based on the Rookie of the Year voting, three of the five spots in the first team were accounted for. Wembanyama was the unanimous winner, collecting all 99 first-place votes. Holmgren was the runner-up, with all but one of the voters putting him second on the ballot. The Charlotte Hornets' Brandon Miller followed in third with a similarly disproportionate share of the vote.

Wembanyama was the most hyped rookie since LeBron James in 2003 and he may have actually exceeded expectations.

The Spurs big man averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists while shooting 46.5 percent from the field. His defense was particularly advanced for a player of his experience. He led the league in blocks (3.6 per game) and was second in the Defensive Player of the Year voting.

San Antonio's 22 wins matched its record in 2023-24, so the team didn't have much to show in terms of collective progress. The franchise does at least know Wembanyama is a genuine cornerstone.

The Thunder gained a similar level of confidence in Holmgren's long-term potential.

A foot injury sidelined the 22-year-old for all of 2022-23. Upon making his debut, you never would've guessed he had missed an entire season. He averaged 16.5 points, 7.9 boards and 2.3 blocks. The 7-footer showed off some range as well, knocking down 1.6 three-pointers per game at a 37.0 percent clip.

For the Hornets, finishing second in the 2023 draft lottery was a bit deflating because they had come so close to landing Wembanyama. It didn't help that there wasn't a consensus No. 2 prospect on the board. Some wondered whether they might take Scoot Henderson.

Based on his early output, Charlotte won't regret having picked Miller. The 6'9" forward averaged 17.3 points on 44.0 percent shooting, including 37.3 percent from the perimeter.

LaMelo Ball's persistent injury trouble casts a bit of a shadow over the organization's outlook. In Miller, the Hornets should at least have a critical building block for the future.
