USC's Taj Gibson named to the NBA's 2010 All-Rookie Team

From NBA.com

Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings, Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors were unanimous selections to the 2009-10 T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie First Team, the NBA announced today.

Rounding out the T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie First Team are New Orleans' Darren Collison (46 points) and Chicago's Taj Gibson (41 points).

Gibson gave the Bulls a frontcourt boost, leading all rookies in rebounding (7.5 rpg) and field goal percentage (.494), while placing second in blocks (1.27 bpg). The durable Gibson, who averaged 9.0 points in his first season, appeared in all 82 games for the Bulls, making 70 starts.

What a great accomplishment for Taj!

This could not have happened to a nicer guy.

FIGHT ON!
