Auburn fans only got to see Sharife Cooper play in 12 games during his freshman season, but he was certainly impressive over that span.
On Tuesday, Cooper was named to the SEC All-Freshman team, the only Tiger player to earn a postseason honor this season.
From Auburn’s press release:
Cooper is the 17th Tiger freshman to be named to the annual team and the third under head coach Bruce Pearl, joining Isaac Okoro (2020) and Mustapha Heron (2017).
In 12 games, the Powder Springs, Ga. native averaged a team-best 20.2 points and 8.1 assists per game in addition to his 4.3 rebounds per tilt.
Cooper scored or assisted on 471 of Auburn’s 996 points (47.2 percent) when he was in the lineup.
