Duke basketball: Top 10 individual ACC seasons of the last decade
434. Freshman. 2018-19. Zion Williamson. 3. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
The third-best single season of the last decade in the ACC belongs to the first of three consecutive one-and-done players on this list. This 6-foot-7, 285-pound freshman power forward could not have garnered much more national attention or received many more conference and national awards.
Among his many accolades, Zion Williamson landed on the conference’s All-Freshman Team, All-Defense Team, and All-ACC First Team. He was also the ACC Player of the Year, the Associated Press POY, and the 2018-19 Naismith Award winner.
Williamson’s Blue Devils finished 32-6 overall and No. 1 in the final AP Poll. The Duke basketball rookie finished with averages of 22.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. Those numbers produced one of just three fantasy averages of 40 or more points per game in the entirety of the ACC’s last decade. Williamson finished with 40.2 fantasy points here, almost one full point ahead of Barber in fourth. His 746 total points were second in the conference and 15th in the country.
