NBA: Spurs’ Castle headline 2024-25 All-Rookie First Team

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle on Tuesday was unanimously selected to the 2024-25 NBA All-Rookie First Team, Afrosport reports.

Castle, the 2024-25 NBA Rookie of the Year, got all 100 First Team votes from a global media panel.

The 20-year-old, however, is joined on the list by Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, who received all but one First Team vote.

Other names that made the All-Rookie First Team include Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey and forward Jaylen Wells and Washington Wizards center Alex Sarr, the second overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.


Risacher and Sarr made history by becoming the first two players from the same country outside the United States to be selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in the same season.

Edey and Wells, meanwhile, joined Brandon Clarke and Ja Morant in the record books as the Grizzlies became the first team to have multiple players on the NBA All-Rookie First Team in the same season since Memphis in 2019-20.

Meanwhile, the NBA All-Rookie Second Team comprises Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis, Wizards guard Bub Carrington, Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan, New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi, and Miami Heat center Kel’el Ware.
