It’s no secret that for the second year in a row, a Duke freshman will win be the National Player of the Year. In some ways, Cameron Boozer has arguably one-upped Cooper Flagg’s stellar freshman year, averaging 22.6 points, 10 rebounds, and 4.0 assists to Flagg’s 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists a year ago.
There are 100 reasons why Boozer is the deserving POTY and why he’s currently a -4000 favorite to take home the hardware, but he added a few more in Monday night’s 93-64 demolition of NC State in Raleigh with a 26 point performance on 8-10 shooting with nine rebounds and three assists.
