SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert and Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, formerly of Weber State, were named to All-NBA teams on Wednesday.
Gobert garnered third team honors and Lillard second team recognition. Gobert’s accolade comes a little over a week after he was named to the NBA All-Defensive first team for the fourth time in his career.
It is the third time the Frenchman has received All-NBA honors (twice now to the third team and once to the second team).
In his seventh year in the NBA, Gobert was named an All-Star for the first time and went on to average 15.
