Duke basketball phenom [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] won ACC Player of the Week and ACC Rookie of the Week honors on Monday thanks to his 24-point performance against Arizona.
Flagg added 16 of his points in the second half against the Wildcats, adding six rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal to the Blue Devils’ first top-25 victory of the season.
Flagg also won Rookie of the Week last week thanks to a 26-point performance against the Kentucky Wildcats. Duke has actually swept that award to start the year with fellow five-star [autotag]Kon Knueppel[/autotag] winning that same honor after his first two games.
This is the first time a Blue Devil has been named ACC Player of the Year this season.
Through his first five collegiate games, Flagg is averaging 17.8 points, 8.8 rebounds. 3.8 assists, 1.8 blocks, and 1.8 steals, leading Duke in all five categories. No other player in the country leads his team in each of those statistics. He’s put together a pair of 20-point games and two double-doubles.
