If Stats Picked The All-Rookie Teams

Just like last week's excercise in picking All-Star starters, I'm going to let box-score stats and plus-minus stats tell us who should make the NBA All-Rookie first and second teams at this point in the season.

Couldn't have done this without John Hollinger's Player Efficiency Ratings or Jeremias Engelmann's Regularized Adjusted Plus-Minus numbers.
