Ben Simmons and Donovan Mitchell have been named the NBA's Rookies of the Month for March and April.

Simmons won the Kia NBA Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month award for the third consecutive month and the fourth time this season.  In March and April, he helped the 76ers post an NBA-best 20-3 record by averaging 13.7 points (on 58.7 percent shooting from the field) to go with rookie highs of 10.1 assists and 9.3 rebounds in 23 games.  Behind Simmons, Philadelphia closed the regular season with a franchise-record 16-game winning streak – the longest winning streak to finish a season in NBA history.

Mitchell earned the Kia NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Month award for the fourth month in a row.  In March and April, the 6-3 guard averaged a rookie-high 22.8 points and added 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.52 steals in 21 games as Utah tied for the best record in the Western Conference at 17-4.  For the season, Mitchell averaged a team-high 20.5 points, making him the first rookie to lead a team with at least 45 wins in scoring since David Robinson with the San Antonio Spurs in 1989-90.
