The NBA today released the NBA All-Rookie first and second team, with the Chicago Bulls dominating the first with the league's Sixth Man of the Year Ben Gordon and teammate Luol Deng both being selected.  Led by Rookie of the Year Emeka Okafor of the Charlotte Bobcats, the first team was rounded out by first overall pick Dwight Howard and Sixer high flyer Andre Iguodala.

The second team was dominated by the Atlanta Hawks, with 2005 dunk champion Josh Smith and Josh Childress being joined by Net Nenad Krstic, Jameer Nelson of the Orlando Magic and Boston's Al Jefferson.

Suprising exclusions include J.R Smith of the New Oreans Hornets, Beno Udrih of the San Antonio Spurs, Devin Harris of the Dallas Mavericks and Bulls duo Andres Nocioni and Chris Duhon.

The voting panel consisted of the NBA's 30 head coaches, who were asked to select five players for the first team and five players for the second team, regardless of position.  Coaches were not permitted to vote for players on their own team.  Two points were awarded for first team votes and one for second team vote.
