Cooper Flagg has been incredible for the Duke Blue Devils this season. It’s tough to live up to the billing of the consensus No. 1 overall recruit in the country, but Flagg has done it.
He’s averaged 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season. He’s also come up huge in some of Duke’s biggest games.
He scored 26 points against No. 19 Kentucky and 24 points against No. 17 Arizona early in the season. He put up 22 points in a win over No. 2 Auburn in December and scored 21 and 15 in two games against North Carolina, respectively.
As such, it’s no surprise that Flagg has been named the ACC Player of the Year as well as the Rookie of the Year in the conference.
