As a reward for those impressive performances, including his career-best nine-assist effort in Duke's 91-87 road win over Florida State on Saturday, Boozer became the ACC Rookie of the Week for the fifth time this season.

So, the Miami, Fla., native, son of 2001 Duke basketball national champion Carlos Boozer and twin teammate to freshman point guard Cayden Boozer, has now garnered the distinction in over half of the nine times thus far that the conference has named its weekly award recipients this go-round.

Cameron Boozer has also been the ACC Player of the Week a league-leading three times, albeit not once across the past four weeks.

Serving as the centerpiece all season for the high-powered Duke basketball collection, Boozer is currently averaging an off-the-charts 23.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks in his 31.6 minutes per game.

Those numbers paired with Duke's prowess as a unit this season make him the frontrunner for ACC Player of the Year honors.

However, the No. 24 SMU Mustangs (12-2, 1-0, who travel to Durham to face the Blue Devils in Cameron Indoor Stadium at 2 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN), boast the past two ACC Player of the Week winners: senior shooting guard B.J.

Before hosting the Mustangs, Duke basketball is gearing up for its second straight road bout. Boozer and the Blue Devils, sitting in a tie with the unranked Clemson Tigers (12-3, 2-0 ACC) atop the early conference standings, are set to battle the No. 20 Louisville Cardinals (11-3, 1-1 ACC) in the KFC Yum! Center at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPN).
