Michigan State's Jaren Jackson Jr. drafted No. 4 overall, Miles Bridges goes No. 12

There was plenty of dealing Thursday night during the first round of the NBA Draft, and by the midway point, two Spartans had heard their name called.

Forward Jaren Jackson Jr. went No. 4 overall to the Memphis Grizzlies, and less than an hour later, teammate Miles Bridges was taken No. 12 overall by the Clippers before being dealt to the Hornets for Kentucky's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was taken with the 11th pick.

Jackson and Bridges are the highest two Michigan State players selected in the same NBA Draft since Magic Johnson and Gregory Kelser went No.
