Sacramento Kings' Bogdan Bogdanovic has been selected to the 2017-18 NBA All-Rookie Second Team.

The league announced the All-Rookie honors Tuesday as Bogdanovic becomes the 17th player in Kings' franchise history to earn All-Rookie honors.

He averaged 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists in nearly 28 minutes per game. While starting 52 of 78 games played, he finished top 10 in some categories among rookies, like eighth in scoring and fourth in three-point percentage.

The Serbian shooting guard had some highlight moments, but none more notable then his big stage debut at the 2018 Rising Stars game where he took home the MVP trophy.

His fellow backcourt rookie De'Aaron Fox, who was the No. 5 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, was not selected to either team.

Dennis Smith Jr (Dallas Mavericks), Lonzo Ball (Lakers), John Collins (Atlanta Hawks) and Josh Jackson (Phoenix Suns) joined Bogdanovic on the second team.

The All-Rookie First Team was led by Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell and Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons. Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), Kyle Kuzma (Los Angeles Lakers) and Lauri Markkanen (Chicago Bulls) rounded out the list.
