To the surprise of no one, Blake Griffin was a unanimous selection to the All-Rookie first team for the 2011 NBA season. Somewhat surprising is the fact that John Wall wasn’t a unanimous first team choice — he got 28 of 29 needed votes. The other three players on the first team were DeMarcus Cousins, Gary Neal and Landry Fields.
Griffin starred for the Los Angeles Clippers and showed flashes of superstardom. Wall also showed flashes but he still has a long ways to go to learn how to properly lead the Washington Wizards.
Cousins has the talent to be great but his character is questionable — just ask the Sacramento Kings. Fields, of the New York Knicks, and Neal, of the San Antonio Spurs, came out of nowhere. Fields was a second round pick, while Neal was undrafted.
The All-Rookie second team was comprised of Greg Monroe, Detroit Pistons; Derrick Favors, Utah Jazz; Wesley Johnson, Minnesota Timberwolves; Paul George, Indiana Pacers and Eric Bledsoe, Los Angeles Clippers.
