Duke Basketball Rookie Sweeps Top Plays Versus Virginia Tech

In the No. 4-ranked Blue Devils' 72-58 road win over the unranked Virginia Tech Hokies on Saturday afternoon, Duke basketball freshman power forward Cameron Boozer led all players on the court with his 24 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Plus, the 6-foot-9, 250-pounder from Miami, Fla., came away with one steal and drew four fouls on the Hokies across his team-high 37 minutes of action, shooting an efficient 9-for-12 from the field, 2-for-3 from three, and 4-for-5 at the foul line.

With all of the above in mind, it should come as no surprise that all five of the top Blue Devil plays from the bout, which the Duke basketball program's social media team posted on Saturday night, feature Boozer, who is the reigning ACC Rookie of the Year and stands as the clear frontrunner for ACC Player of the Year hardware:

Cameron Boozer's Season-Long Dominance

The 19-year-old Cameron Boozer's scoring performance in Virginia Tech's Cassell Coliseum marked his 13th 20-point outing as a Blue Devil and fourth across the past five Duke basketball contests. And his efforts as a facilitator marked the 18th time he's finished with at least three dimes, as he's now averaging 4.3 assists per game against ACC opponents.

Overall this season, Boozer is averaging 23.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. The projected one-and-done lottery pick — in the conversation to hear his name No. 1 overall at the 2026 NBA Draft — is shooting 58.6 percent from the field, 38.1 percent beyond the arc, and 75.8 percent at the charity stripe.
