Jaren Jackson Jr. saw his rookie season with the Memphis Grizzlies cut short because of a quad injury.

It didn't make much of a difference, though, as far as where he stood among his peers.

Jackson, who spent one season at Michigan State, was selected to the NBA All-Rookie team Tuesday. He was joined on the team by Dallas’ Luka Doncic and Atlanta’s Trae Young, who were unanimous first-team selections.

Phoenix’s Deandre Ayton and Sacramento’s Marvin Bagley III also on the first team, chosen by 100 voters who cover the league.
