A pair of Milwaukee Bucks players have been named to various All-NBA teams.

Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was named to the NBA's second team all-defense. Antetokounmpo received seven votes for first team all-defense, as well.

He averaged 8.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.6 steals, and became just the fifth player in NBA history to lead his team in all five major categories.

Antetokonmpo, 22, was selected to the general All-NBA second team last month. He is a finalist for Most Improved Player, alongside Denver's Nikola Jokic and Utah's Rudy Gobert.

Guard Malcolm Brogdon was also named to the NBA All-Rookie first team.

Brogdon averaged 10.2 points and 4.2 assists per game, while shooting 40.4 percent from beyond the arc. He is also one of three finalists for the NBA Rookie of the Year award (Joel Embiid, Dario Saric).

The awards winners will be announced tonight at 8 p.m. on TNT.
