Marvin Bagley III named to 2018-19 All-Rookie 1st Team

The NBA announced it’s All-Rookie teams today and to nobody’s surprise, Kings big man Marvin Bagley III was among those chosen for 1st team honors. Bagley had an excellent rookie year despite being overshadowed by the likes of Luka Doncic and Trae Young (both unanimous 1st team selections). Bagley, Doncic and Young were joined by their fellow top-five picks Deandre Ayton and Jaren Jackson Jr. This is the first time that the first five picks of the previous draft have all made the 1st Team since 1985 when Hakeem Olajuwon, Sam Bowie, Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins and Charles Barkley were all named to the team.
