GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the second consecutive week, Duke forward Jayson Tatum was rewarded for his stellar play in a pair of Blue Devil wins with ACC Freshman of the Week honors.

In addition to garnering the award for the second time in as many weeks, Tatum has now collected ACC Freshman of the Week honors three times on the season.

The St. Louis native was the catalyst for wins at No. 14 Virginia and at home over Wake Forest last week, averaging 23.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per contest. He was lights out as a shooter in both games, shooting .609 (14-of-23) from the floor, .750 (9-of-12) from three-point range and 1.000 (10-of-10) from the line.

Tatum put Duke on his back on Wednesday with a career-high 28 points and a team-high eight rebounds as the Blue Devils handed Virginia just its third home ACC loss in the last three seasons. He was 6-of-7 (.857) from outside the arc against UVA, tying the Duke single-game freshman records for three-pointers made and three-point percentage. Twenty-one of Tatum’s game-high 28 came in the second half as Duke erased a four-point halftime deficit to win by 10.

Tatum put together a 19-point afternoon against Wake Forest on Saturday, knocking down 3-of-5 from long distance. He shared the team high with seven rebounds and added two assists against the Demon Deacons. With Wake making a push late in the game, Tatum came up with two huge free throws in a one-and-one situation to help Duke seal the victory.

For the year, Tatum is averaging 16.4 points and 7.1 rebounds while shooting .453 from the floor, .389 from three-point range and a team-high .870 from the line. He is a finalist for the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award.
