Duke’s Cooper Flagg on Saturday grew to become simply the fourth freshman to win the Wood Award as probably the most excellent males’s school basketball participant. Flagg edged Auburn’s Johni Broome, whereas Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr., Alabama’s Mark Sears and Purdue’s Braden Smith have been the opposite finalists. Flagg had been thought-about the favourite for the award through the second half of the season, when he emerged as probably the most constantly dominant participant within the sport in main Duke to the ACC regular-season and convention match championships and this system’s first Last 4 look since Mike Krzyzewski retired. He received each ACC Participant of the 12 months and Rookie of the 12 months and is the clear-cut chief to be chosen No. 1 in June’s NBA draft.
