From U of L:
Louisville men’s basketball redshirt freshman Mike James has been named ACC Rookie of the Week, the league announced Monday.
This is the first weekly award of James’ young career, and he’s the first Cardinal to earn Rookie of the Week honors from the league since his current teammate Jae’Lyn Withers did so in March 2021.
James, a 6-foot-5 guard/forward from Orlando, Fla., had a breakout stretch for UofL last week, averaging 21.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game across the Cardinals’ home contests against Syracuse and Wake Forest.
James made 16 of 28 total shots in the two games (57%) and 9 of 16 3-pointers (60%).
