CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Duke star freshman Cooper Flagg is the Atlantic Coast Conference’s choice for player of the year and rookie of the year.
The league released its all-ACC honors and individual awards on Monday, the day before the start of the league tournament in Charlotte. That came after voting by league head coaches and media members.
Louisville’s Pat Kelsey was named coach of the year, while Cardinals guard Chucky Hepburn was selected defensive player of the year. The list included Boston College’s Donald Hand Jr. as the league’s most improved player and California’s Jeremiah Wilkinson as sixth man of the year.
Flagg was joined by teammates Kon Knueppel (second team) and Tyrese Proctor (third team) on the all-ACC teams.
The Associated Press releases its all-ACC honors Tuesday.
