Durant, who was named the Rookie of the Year on May 1, was joined by teammate Jeff Green, Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford, Los Angeles Clippers forward Al Thornton and Houston Rockets forward Luis Scola.

The 6-9 forward, Durant led all rookies in scoring at 20.3 points and averaged 4.4 rebounds per game this season.

He received 28 first-team votes and one second-team, finishing second in the voting behind Horford.

The Hawks center averaged 10.1 points and 9.7 rebounds, leading all rookies with 25 double-doubles. Horford received 29 first-place votes after helping Atlanta reach the postseason for the first time since 1999.

Scola averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds for the Rockets, finishing third in the voting, while Thornton was fourth. The Clippers forward was second among rookies in scoring at 12.7 points per game.
