Filipowski Named ACC Rookie of the Week
1/16/2023 3:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
DURHAM - After averaging 23.5 points and 14.5 rebounds in two games this past week, Duke's Kyle Filipowski has been named the ACC Rookie of the Week in men's basketball for the fifth time this season.
Filipowski had a monster outing in Duke's comeback win over Pittsburgh on Jan. 11, scoring a career-high 28 points on 8-of-14 shooting and 11-of-13 from the free throw line, while matching his career-high with 15 rebounds. It was his seventh double-double this season, and first 20-10 double-double. He became just the third Duke freshman all-time to have at least 28-15 in a game, joining Marvin Bagley III and Jabari Parker. This season, just six power conference players have posted at least 28-15 in a game and Filipowski is the only freshman nationally to do so.
Saturday at Clemson, Filipowski scored 18 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, both team-highs, for his eighth double-double. Over Duke's last four games – which has included three road games – Filipowski is averaging 18.8 points and 11.5 rebounds and shooting .417 in that stretch.
His eight double-doubles are top-15 nationally and lead all Division-I freshmen, while his 9.2 rebounds per game lead the team and are the most by a power conference freshman. The Westtown, N.Y., native also leads Duke in scoring (14.8) and steals (15). He has scored in double-figures in 16 of Duke's 18 games played this season, and has been the team's leading scorer nine times.
Filipowski's honor marks Duke's ACC-leading 151st all-time Rookie of the Week selection. Over the last 10 seasons (since the start of 2013-14), Duke has had an ACC Rookie of the Week in 79 of a possible 163 weeks (48.4%). Twenty-two different Blue Devils have won the award at least once in that time. The Blue Devils' 151 all-time Rookie of the Week awards lead the ACC by 54.
Duke returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 21 at Cameron Indoor Stadium, taking on No. 17 Miami. The game tips at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN.
