Philadelphia's Ben Simmons and Utah's Donovan Mitchell are unanimous selections to the NBA's All-Rookie team.

Boston's Jayson Tatum also was selected Tuesday to the first team, falling one vote short of unanimous. Simmons, Mitchell and Tatum are the three finalists for the NBA's Rookie of the Year award.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Tuesday that "somebody made a mistake" when asked how Tatum missed out on being a unanimous selection by one vote.

Writers and broadcasters.

They’ll release the ballots after the awards show.

Pretty foolish of that 1 dissenter. Donovan Mitchell a better all-around player? Don't think so.

If it wasn't unanimous for Tatum I am going to love to see the ballot and see who the voter thought were the three players that were better than Tatum this year. Thats assuming Mitchell and Simmons would be on the ballot.

Heck, I think if awards were voted on after the playoffs, I think Tatum might have won ROY. Thats how good he is.

Feel like a laker reporter, like Ramona shellburn, voted in kuzma over Tatum
The pain of having to admit that a Celtic was better than a laker was too much
