LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Tyrese Haliburton highlight first All-Tournament Team

The first In-Season Tournament is in the books, and while the Los Angeles Lakers walked away with the inaugural cup after defeating the Indiana Pacers 123-109, there are still a few more awards to give out.

The NBA announced the five players that were named to the first All-Tournament Team for their performance throughout the In-Season Tournament.

James was named Tournament MVP on Saturday after averaging 26.4 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while shooting 56.8% from the field and 60.6% on three-pointers. Anthony Davis had a great tournament, but especially in the final when he burst out with 41 points, 20 rebounds, five assists and four blocks.

Giannis led the Bucks to the semifinals, and over six games averaged 29 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists. Durant, who was facing pressure to perform with Bradley Beal still out with back spasms, certainly delivered. He averaged 34.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists, and shot 60.9% from the field and 69.6% on three-pointers.

Haliburton is the only true young'un in this group. The 23-year-old averaged 26.7 points and 13.3 assists (best in the league), while shooting 52.4% from the field and 42.5% on three-pointers over the course of the tournament. He was the big breakout star of the In-Season Tournament, but after the success of this inaugural tournament, there are sure to be more in the future.
