The best Duke freshman stat line since Zion Williamson. His 22.5/10.3 with 21 double-doubles exceeds every Brotherhood one-and-done except Zion's scoring. ACC POY + ROY as a freshman places him in the exclusive Zion/Bagley/Okafor/Flagg club. Consensus #1 pick — the only question is whether the lottery order cooperates.
