Duke Blue Devils star freshman Cooper Flagg has won the Wooden Award, which is given to the top player in men's college basketball.

Flagg, who is the surefire No. 1 prospect in June's NBA draft if he declares as expected, has averaged 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season on 48.3% shooting from the floor and a 37.4% mark from three.

Flagg was named ACC Player of the Year, ACC Freshman of the Year, and was an AP First-Team All-American in his first college season.

His play has guided the Blue Devils to the Final Four, where they'll take on the Houston Cougars on Saturday for a spot in the national championship game.
