| Honors |
The All-NBA G League Team is an annual NBA G League (G League) honor bestowed on the best players in the league following every G League season. The voting is conducted by the league's head coaches. The team has been selected in every season of the league's existence, dating back to its inaugural season in 2001–02.[1] The All-NBA Development League Team is composed of three five-man lineups—a first, second, and third team, typically comprising a total of 15 roster spots. The All-NBA Development League Team originally had two teams, but was expanded to three teams in 2007–08.[1]
Players receive five points for a first team vote, three points for a second team vote, and one point for a third team vote. The five players with the highest point totals make the first team, with the next five making the second team and so forth. In the case of a tie at the fifth position of any team, the roster is expanded. If the first team consists of six players due to a tie, the second team will still consist of five players with the potential for more expansion in the event of additional ties.[1] Omar Cook, Will Conroy, Blake Ahearn, Jerel McNeal, Quinn Cook, Johnathan Motley, Justin Anderson and Mason Jones hold the record for the most total selections with three apiece.[1]

All-NBA G League Team
View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
The All-NBA G League Team is an annual honor recognizing the top-performing players in the NBA G League, the National Basketball Association's (NBA) official minor league, at the conclusion of each regular season.[1][2] The award consists of three teams—First Team, Second Team, and Third Team—each featuring five players selected for their exceptional statistical contributions, such as scoring, rebounding, and assists, as well as overall impact on the court.[3] Introduced in the 2007–08 season, the honor has been a staple of the league's end-of-season awards, highlighting both emerging talents and veterans honing their skills in a competitive environment that includes NBA assignees, two-way contract players, and free agents.[3][1]
Selections for the All-NBA G League Teams are determined by votes from the league's head coaches and general managers, ensuring a peer-reviewed assessment of regular-season performances across the 31-team circuit, which as of the 2024–25 season includes 30 affiliates directly owned or operated by NBA franchises and one independent team.[2][4] This process often intersects with other individual accolades, such as MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Most Improved Player, with standout recipients like 2023–24 MVP Mac McClung earning First Team nods for leading the league in scoring at 25.7 points per game.[1] The teams underscore the G League's role in player development, as many honorees—such as 2022–23 First Team guard Carlik Jones—transition to NBA rosters, with over 15 players per recent class often holding prior NBA experience.[2][5]
Notable for fostering pathways to the NBA, the All-NBA G League Teams have featured future stars and journeymen alike since their inception, reflecting the league's evolution from its origins as the National Basketball Development League (NBDL) in 2001 to its rebranding as the NBA G League in 2017.[4][3] With announcements typically made in April following the regular season's end, the honor celebrates contributions amid a grueling schedule of 50-plus games per team, emphasizing the G League's status as a proving ground for professional basketball excellence.[1][2]
Billy Thomas emerged as a playoff standout, averaging 24.0 points per game while shooting 55.6% from three-point range, including 34 points in the semifinals and 28 in Game 2 of the Finals.[8]

As the league expanded to 16 teams in 2010–11 and 18 in 2013–14, the talent pool deepened, leading to more diverse selections.)
Overview
Definition and Inception
The All-NBA G League Team is an annual honor recognizing the top performers in the NBA G League, the official minor league affiliate of the National Basketball Association (NBA), by selecting outstanding players across multiple teams based on their on-court excellence during the regular season.[4] This award highlights the premier individual talent in the league, typically honoring 10 to 15 players divided into first, second, and third teams, depending on the format in use.[6] The award's inception occurred in the 2001–02 season, coinciding with the launch of the National Basketball Development League (NBDL), the G League's predecessor, which began operations with eight teams primarily in the southeastern United States to serve as a player development platform for the NBA.[6] From its outset, the All-NBDL Team—later rebranded alongside the league—has been selected annually to celebrate the league's elite contributors, with the first edition featuring a First Team that included players like Ansu Sesay, who also earned MVP honors that year.[7] Within the NBDL's early structure, the All-NBDL Team functioned as a key component of the league's awards system, complementing distinctions such as Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Rookie of the Year to incentivize high-level play and identify prospects for NBA advancement.[8] This integration underscored the developmental focus, providing formal recognition that paralleled NBA honors while emphasizing skill refinement in a competitive environment.[4]Purpose in Player Development
The All-NBA G League Team serves as a prestigious benchmark for excellence within the league, recognizing the top performers across First, Second, and Third Teams based on their on-court impact and contributions to team success. Selection to these teams underscores a player's mastery of professional basketball fundamentals, often positioning them as prime candidates for NBA opportunities, including call-ups, two-way contracts, or standard deals. This honor elevates a player's profile among NBA scouts and executives, facilitating transitions from G League rosters to higher levels of competition within the NBA ecosystem.[1] A key aspect of the award's role in player development is its correlation with career advancement, as evidenced by the high rate of G League alumni in the NBA. For the 2023-24 season, a record 50 percent of players on opening-night NBA rosters had prior G League experience, highlighting the league's effectiveness as a proving ground. Many All-NBA G League Team members directly benefit from this pathway; in the 2023-24 season alone, 81 players received G League call-ups to NBA teams, with several honorees securing contracts shortly after their selections. This statistic illustrates how the award not only rewards current excellence but also propels players toward sustained NBA careers.[4] The award particularly boosts visibility for undrafted free agents and players with overseas backgrounds, who often use G League performances to overcome initial barriers to NBA entry. For instance, undrafted guard Mac McClung, selected to the 2023-24 All-NBA G League First Team and named league MVP, leveraged his standout stats—averaging 25.7 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game—to secure multiple NBA opportunities, including a brief standard contract with the Indiana Pacers in October 2025 following years on two-way deals, though he was waived later that month. Similarly, Congolese forward Oscar Tshiebwe, also a 2023-24 First Team selection after averaging 16.2 points and 16.1 rebounds, transitioned from overseas and college play to a two-way contract with the Indiana Pacers, demonstrating how the honor can accelerate paths for international talent seeking NBA rosters. These examples reflect the award's function as a critical stepping stone, enhancing marketability and earning potential for diverse player profiles.[1][9]Historical Evolution
Origins in the NBDL Era
The National Basketball Development League (NBDL) was established by the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 2001 as its official minor league system, with the inaugural 2001–02 season featuring eight teams across the southeastern and midwestern United States.[4] This launch marked the NBA's direct investment in player development, providing a structured platform for emerging talent under league ownership and oversight from the start. The NBDL's creation addressed the need for a professional feeder system to refine skills, test strategies, and transition players to the NBA, emphasizing affordable operations and close affiliations with parent clubs. The NBDL focused on building its infrastructure during its early years, expanding from eight teams in 2001–02 to 12 by the 2004–05 season. This growth laid the groundwork for individual honors, including the eventual introduction of the All-NBA D-League Team in the 2007–08 season.[3]Name Changes and League Rebranding
The All-NBA G League Team award was introduced in the 2007–08 season as the All-NBA Development League Team, following the league's rebranding from the National Basketball Development League (NBDL) to the NBA Development League (commonly shortened to D-League) in 2005.[3] This shift coincided with structural changes, including plans to expand from 8 teams to 15, broadening the award's scope to honor top performers across an enlarging talent pool.[10] By 2007, the award adopted the shorthand All-NBA D-League Team, aligning with the league's informal usage of "D-League" to streamline branding and enhance visibility.[11] The league continued to grow during this period, reaching 16 teams by the 2007-08 season and eventually surpassing 20 teams by 2010, which expanded the award's reach and allowed it to spotlight emerging talent from more NBA affiliates.[12] The most significant rebranding occurred in 2017, when the league became the NBA G League through a multiyear partnership with Gatorade, prompting the award's renaming to the All-NBA G League Team.[13] This change aimed to strengthen the league's alignment with the NBA, elevating the award's prestige by associating it with a major sponsor and positioning it as a key pipeline for NBA-caliber players amid rapid expansion to 26 teams that season.[4] By the 2024-25 season, with 31 teams in operation, the rebrands have collectively transformed the award from a developmental honor into a widely recognized benchmark for professional basketball development.[4]Selection Process
Voting Procedure
The All-NBA G League Teams are selected annually through a voting process conducted by the league's head coaches and general managers.[14][15] Each voter selects players from their own team as well as those from opposing teams, evaluating performances across the regular season to recognize outstanding contributions.[16] Voters select first-, second-, and third-team honorees. The fifteen players with the most votes comprise the three All-NBA G League Teams, with the highest vote recipients forming the First Team. This structure ensures a balanced representation of talent while prioritizing the highest vote recipients. Voters are instructed to consider only eligible players, such as those on standard G League contracts or two-way deals.[14]Eligibility and Criteria
Eligibility for the All-NBA G League Teams is limited to players on the active rosters of NBA G League teams during the regular season. This encompasses individuals signed to standard G League contracts, as well as those on NBA two-way contracts or temporarily assigned from NBA rosters, provided they accumulate meaningful playing time in G League games.[1][17] Selection criteria emphasize regular-season performance, focusing on statistical contributions such as scoring averages, rebounding totals, assist numbers, and overall efficiency metrics that reflect a player's impact. While quantitative data forms the foundation, the process relies heavily on subjective assessments by voters, who weigh factors like versatility, leadership, and contributions to team success.[18] There is no mandated minimum games-played threshold, allowing consideration of players whose influence is evident even in limited but effective appearances; however, selections consistently favor those who have demonstrated sustained excellence and substantial on-court presence throughout the season.[1]Format Details
Two-Team Structure (2001–2007)
The All-NBA G League Team, originally known as the All-NBDL Team during the league's inaugural years, operated under a two-team format from the 2001–02 season through the 2006–07 season. This structure consisted of a First Team and a Second Team, each comprising five players selected for their outstanding performances during the regular season, resulting in a total of 10 honorees annually.[8] The selections recognized excellence across positions, with players chosen based on statistical contributions, impact on their teams, and overall play within the developmental league.[19] Announcements of the teams were made following the conclusion of the regular season, typically in late March or early April, allowing for a comprehensive review of player performances over the full schedule.[11] This timing ensured that honors reflected sustained contributions rather than partial-season efforts, aligning with the league's emphasis on player development and scouting visibility for NBA affiliates. The format maintained consistency across all six seasons in this era, without the introduction of a third team or significant alterations to the selection framework.[20] Roster sizes for both teams remained fixed at five players each in the initial 2001–02 season, exemplified by the First Team selections of forward Tremaine Fowlkes (Columbus Riverdragons), forward Ansu Sesay (Greenville Groove), center Thomas Hamilton (Greenville Groove), guard Isaac Fontaine (Mobile Revelers), and guard Billy Thomas (Greenville Groove), alongside a Second Team including forward Derek Hood (Mobile Revelers), forward Sedric Webber (North Charleston Lowgators), center Paul Grant (Asheville Altitude), guard Omar Cook (Fayetteville Patriots), and guard Terrell McIntyre (Fayetteville Patriots).[8] Similarly, the 2005–06 season adhered to this standard without expansions, featuring five-player rosters for both teams to honor top performers like guard Will Bynum (First Team, Roanoke Dazzle) and forward Ime Udoka (First Team, Fort Worth Flyers).[19] This uniform approach underscored the league's early focus on a streamlined recognition system, prioritizing elite talent identification amid a growing number of franchises from eight teams in 2001–02 to twelve by 2006–07.[21]Three-Team Structure (2007–present)
The three-team structure for the All-NBA G League Team was established beginning with the 2007–08 season, expanding the annual honor to include First, Second, and Third teams of five players each, for a total of 15 honorees selected based on performance across the league. This format replaced the prior two-team setup, allowing for broader recognition of elite talent as the league evolved from a developmental platform with limited teams to a more robust system supporting NBA player pipelines. The structure emphasizes positional balance on each team while highlighting standout contributors in scoring, rebounding, playmaking, and defense. The format incorporates flexibility to accommodate ties in the voting process, where players tying for the fifth spot on a team are all included, potentially increasing the number of honorees beyond 15. Recent applications of this rule have occurred in seasons like 2023–24, where ties resulted in 16 total selections.[1] This adaptability ensures fairness in a competitive voting system involving coaches and general managers, who assign points for placements on the teams. As the NBA G League has expanded significantly since the introduction of the three-team format—from 14 teams during the 2007–08 season to a record 31 teams in the 2024–25 season—the structure has remained consistent, supporting the league's role in player development amid increased affiliations with all 30 NBA franchises plus the independent Mexico City Capitanes.[4] This ongoing application into the 2025–26 season, which features 31 teams and an expanded playoff format, underscores the award's enduring value in identifying top performers within a growing ecosystem of professional basketball opportunities.[22]Selections and Honors
Early Period Selections (2001–2007)
The All-NBA G League Team selections during its early period, from the 2001–02 season through the 2006–07 season, operated under a two-team format consisting of a First Team and a Second Team, each typically comprising five players selected based on performance in the National Basketball Development League (NBDL). This era featured approximately 60 unique players honored across the six seasons, highlighting emerging talents who often transitioned to NBA opportunities.[8][23][24][20][25][26]2001–02 Season

Modern Period Selections (2007–present)
The modern period of All-NBA G League Team selections began with the 2007–08 season, coinciding with the league's rebranding from the National Basketball Development League (NBDL) to the NBA Development League (D-League) and the adoption of a three-team format comprising First, Second, and Third Teams. This structure recognizes the top performers across positions, selected by a combination of media, coaches, and league personnel votes, and has remained consistent through the subsequent rebrandings to NBA D-League and NBA G League in 2017. Since 2007–08, over 300 players have earned honors, with expansions to team rosters in several seasons due to voting ties—for instance, the 2018–19 and 2022–23 seasons each added extra selections to accommodate tied votes. The following enumerates the year-by-year selections, highlighting standout players and noting any expansions. Selections are listed by team, with player names and affiliated G League teams at the time of selection. The 2025–26 season is ongoing as of November 2025, with no All-NBA G League Team announced yet.
