Tatum, Zion Earn First Career All-NBA Honors

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Former Duke men's basketball stars Jayson Tatum and Zion Williamson have earned their first career All-NBA honors, which were announced this week by the league. Tatum was named third-team All-NBA, while Williamson was a first-team All-Rookie pick.

Tatum becomes the fifth Blue Devil to earn a spot on an All-NBA Team, and at 22 years old, becomes the youngest Boston Celtics player to garner All-NBA honors. For Duke, he joins Grant Hill (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), Elton Brand (2006), Carlos Boozer (2008) and Kyrie Irving (2015, 2019) as previous All-NBA picks.
