The NBA G League announced today that Philadelphia 76ers two-way contract player Marial Shayok has been named to the 2019-20 All-NBA G League Third Team, as well as to the NBA G League All-Rookie Team, while 2019-20 NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year Christ Koumadje has been named to the NBA G League All-Defensive Team. The players earned their respective honors in a vote by the league’s 28 head coaches and general managers.
Shayok, the No. 54 overall selection in the 2019 NBA Draft by Philadelphia, appeared in 35 games (33 starts) with the Delaware Blue Coats this season. He averaged 23.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 30.0 minutes per contest.
The Ottawa native finished third in the league in scoring average and led all rookies in total points (805) and field goals made (309). In November, he was tabbed as the first NBA G League Player of the Week for the 2019-20 season, and was later named to the Eastern Conference Midseason All-NBA G League Team in February. Shayok is the first player in Delaware franchise history to receive All-Rookie honors.
Koumadje, a Chad native, became the first player in Delaware franchise history to receive NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year honors on June 17. The 7-foot-4 rookie appeared in 33 games (23 starts), averaging 11.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and a G League-best 4.0 blocks in 26.4 minutes per game. His 133 blocked shots were 37 more than any other G League player and marked a Delaware single-season franchise record.
On Feb. 1, Koumadje recorded the only triple-double with blocks in the NBA G League this season, posting 18 points, 20 rebounds and an NBA G League season-high 12 blocks in a 111-103 road victory over the Erie BayHawks.
Below are the complete All-NBA G League Teams, the All-Rookie Team and the All-Defensive Team.
