The NBA has officially revealed the 2025-26 All-Rookie teams, stacked with elite talent from top to bottom. Dallas Mavericks star Cooper Flagg and Charlotte Hornets star Kon Knueppel, the top two rookies from this year’s Rookie of the Year race, headline the first team.

After a group of 100 media members casted their vote, Philadelphia 76ers phenom V.J. Edgecombe joined Flagg and Knueppel as the three players unanimously named to the first team.

All-Rookie Second Team

This season saw all of these rookies have elite seasons. Flagg and Knueppel in particular were terrific, but Edgecombe also hit the ground running for Philadelphia.

Cedric Coward was one of the lone bright spots for a Memphis Grizzlies team that had a difficult season while Dylan Harper meshed seamlessly into a fantastic San Antonio Spurs roster.
