Duke freshman AJ Griffin has been named the ACC Freshman of the Week after helping lead the Blue Devils to a pair of road conference wins.
Griffin averaged 20.0 points on .607 field goal shooting and .500 three-point efficiency with 6.5 rebounds in victories at Notre Dame on Monday night and at North Carolina on Saturday. He turned in one of the most memorable debuts in the history of the Duke-North Carolina rivalry, netting a career-high 27 points on 11-of-17 shooting in the Blue Devils’ 87-67 win at the Smith Center. It marked the fourth highest scoring output by a Duke freshman in their first career game against UNC.
