The WNBA All-Rookie Team is an annual
WNBA head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for players on their own team. Each coach selects five players. A player is given a point for every vote they receive.[1] The top vote getters comprise the team, regardless of the positions they play. Through the 2021 season, this differed from the WNBA's voting procedure for the All-WNBA and All-Defensive Teams, in which all first and second teams consisted of a center, two forwards, and two guards. The WNBA has since adopted the positionless format for its All-WNBA and All-Defensive Teams, respectively adopting the format in 2022 and 2023.[2][3]
The All-Rookie Team is generally composed of a five-woman lineup, but in the case of a tie at the fifth position, the roster is expanded.
NBA, only Wes Unseld and Wilt Chamberlain
has held this distinction.
