Jaren Jackson Jr. was named NBA Defensive Player of the Year on Monday.

The Memphis Grizzlies forward beat out fellow finalists Brook Lopez and Evan Mobley for the honor, his first. Jackson received 56 of 100 first-place votes. Lopez received 31.

Jackson, 23, adds the award to a breakout campaign that also saw him earn his first All-Star bid. In 63 games, Jackson averaged 18.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, one steal and an NBA-best three blocks per game. His 2.3 blocks per game last season also led the league.
