Dakota Wizards' guard Blake Ahearn has been named the D-League's 2007-08 Rookie of the Year, according to NBA.com.

"Blake is very deserving of this honor, and I am very proud of him", said Dakota Coach Duane Ticknor. "This is a testament to Blake's work ethic. He is the first one to get to the gym and last to leave".

Ahearn joins Louis Amundson (Colorado, 2006-07), Will Bynum (Roanoke 2005-06), James Thomas (Roanoke 2004-05), Desmond Penigar (Asheville, 2003-04), Devin Brown (Fayetteville, 2002-03), and Fred House (Charleston, 2001-02) as winners of the award.
