Cooper Flagg is having a phenomenal season for Duke basketball, leading the ACC in Rookie of the Week honors. He's put up incredible numbers, and many believe he deserves ACC Player of the Week recognition yet again.
Cooper Flagg has already been named the ACC Rookie of the Week four times, which accounts for half of the honors in that category this season. However, the Duke basketball phenom forward has only been named ACC Player of the Week once, and that was back in late November.According to the Duke basketball social media team, it's time for the conference to name the 6-foot-9, 205-pound Maine native its top performer once again.
Of course, that would also mean pushing his ACC Rookie of the Week clip to 5-for-9. As noted above, the following are Cooper Flagg highlights of the week courtesy of the Blue Devils' official account. Between blowout wins over Virginia Tech and SMU, the 18-year-old totaled 48 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists, five steals, and three blocks while shooting 16-for-26 from the field, 4-for-6 beyond the arc, and 12-for-12 at the charity stripe across his 62 minutes on the floor.In other words, Flagg is more than deserving of both weekly awards when the conference reveals the voters' selections on Monday afternoon. He's now averaging 17.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.3 blocks, shooting 44.7 percent from the field, 30.0 percent from three, and 78.7 percent at the foul line. Flagg and the Blue Devils (12-2, 4-0 ACC), aiming to have head coach Jon Scheyer back in action following his one-game absence due to illness, hope to extend their winning streak to nine outings when they host the Pitt Panthers (12-2, 3-0 ACC) in Cameron Indoor Stadium at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPN)
