What a moment for the future of basketball — two incredible rookies, one unforgettable season. Zach Edey and Jaylen Wells have officially earned their spot on the Kia NBA All-Rookie First Team, and they didn’t just show up — they dominated.
Zach Edey, with his unmatched presence in the paint, brought size, skill, and a relentless motor that made every possession count. He shattered expectations, adjusted seamlessly to the league’s pace, and anchored both ends of the court with authority. Night after night, he proved that his college dominance wasn’t just hype — it was a preview of greatness to come.
Jaylen Wells, on the other hand, delivered one of the most compelling underdog stories of the season. A relentless worker with smooth shooting and high-IQ play, he made an instant impact with his versatility and hustle. His journey to this point wasn’t traditional — and that’s what makes it all the more inspiring. He’s proof that belief, hard work, and staying true to your game can take you all the way.
To have two rookies earn First Team honors is rare. To do it with this level of poise, impact, and leadership? That’s elite.
This isn’t just recognition — it’s a sign of what’s coming. The future is in good hands.
Big ups to the coaching staff, teammates, and everyone behind the scenes who helped make this possible. But most of all, congrats to Zach and Jaylen — your grind didn’t go unnoticed.
Let’s keep building. Let’s keep believing. This is only the beginning.
