Jared McCain, the stellar Duke freshman who averaged 13.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game this season, was named to the All-ACC Freshman Team on Monday.
The California native and five-star recruit finished the season with seven 20-point games, including a 35-point performance against Florida State, and four double-doubles.
In his first eight games as a Blue Devil, McCain averaged 7.7 points per game. He averaged 15.7 over the rest of the season.
The first-year guard finished second in the conference’s Rookie of the Year voting with 20 of a possible 75 votes. Notre Dame’s Markus Burton (17.3 points, 4.3 assists) won the award with 46 votes.
McCain also narrowly missed out on one of the three all-conference teams, finishing as an All-ACC Honorable Mention. He received 29 points from the voting, the third-most of any honorable mention.
