SHARE Nikola Mirotic receives All-Rookie votes from everyone besides two Wizards broadcasters

Nikola Mirotic was named to the 2015 All-Rookie first team on Monday, along with Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Clarkson, Elfrid Payton and Nerlens Noel.

Mirotic was second in the Rookie of the Year voting behind Wiggins.

Everyone voted for Mirotic to be on the All-Rookie team besides the Washingon Wizards television commentators Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier.

Buckhantz and Chenier must be upset after Mirotic scored a combined 41 points against the Wizards during the regular season.

Or Buckhantz and Chenier didn’t like how Mirotic clotheslined Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert.
