The awards did not stop at Rookie of the Week for Flagg as the forward was also named Co-Player of the Week in the ACC. This is the fifth time this season that Flagg has swept the weekly awards. He is now tied for the second-most Player of the Week honors by a Duke player in a single season with Elton Brand.
Flagg and No. 2 Duke went 2-0 this week against Virginia and Illinois in which the freshman phenom averaged 16.5 points, and 10.5 rebounds while shooting 50% from the field.
Duke will wrap up a three-game road trip at Miami on Tuesday, Feb. 25 before starting off a potentially very successful March at home against Florida State on Saturday.
