Overview
- Cameron Boozer received the Associated Press award Friday with 59 of 61 votes, as BYU’s AJ Dybantsa drew the other two.
- The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists while shooting 55.6% from the field and 39.1% from three.
- His play led a 35-win Duke team that spent weeks at No. 1, earned the top overall NCAA Tournament seed, and reached the Elite Eight before losing to UConn.
- Boozer is only the fifth freshman to win the AP honor and the second straight from Duke, joining Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson and Cooper Flagg.
- The award follows his unanimous first-team AP All-America nod and reinforces his standing as a top NBA draft prospect.
