Brand, the power forward of the Chicago Bulls and the top pick in the 1999 NBA draft, and Francis, the point guard of the Houston Rockets who was the second pick, each received the maximum 56 points from a panel of NBA coaches.

Lamar Odom, who played at small forward and shooting guard and even a bit of point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, fell one first-place vote shy of a unanimous selection.

Forward Wally Szczerbiak of the Minnesota Timberwolves and point guard Andre Miller of the Cleveland Cavaliers were also voted to the All-Rookie First Team.
