Jaren Jackson Jr., Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez lead All-Defensive team

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr., who was named the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year last month, headlined the NBA's All-Defensive First Team, which the league unveiled Tuesday afternoon.

Jackson was joined on the first team by the two other finalists for the top defensive honor -- Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez and Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Evan Mobley -- along with Bucks guard Jrue Holiday and Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso.

Jackson's teammate Dillon Brooks was one of five players named to the league's All-Defensive Second Team.
