Zion Williamson of the Duke Blue Devils continued to bring in the postseason awards at the College Basketball Award Show Friday night, topping off the season with the John R. Wooden Award as the top college basketball player. Williamson joins Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis as the only freshmen to win the award, becoming the first to win it since Davis did with the Kentucky Wildcats. The 18-year-old is also the sixth Duke Blue Devil to win the award, which is the most by any school in the country. He has already taken home the AP Player of the Year and Naismith Player of the Year awards, while also winning the Karl Malone Award as the nation's best power forward on Friday night.
The highlight-reel of a star led the Blue Devils to a top seed in the NCAA Tournament, as they were National Championship favorites all season long. He ended up leading them to the Elite Eight, where they were eliminated by the Michigan State Spartans in the second weekend. Despite the early exit, Williamson became the first freshman to record 100 points in the March Madness Tournament.
Williamson averaged 22.6 points and 8.9 rebounds for the Blue Devils, who were in and out of the top spot in the AP Top 25 this season, and beat Florida State to win the ACC Tournament. The freshman ranked second in the country by shooting 68 percent from the floor, while also leading the ACC with 2.12 steals per game and 1.79 blocks per game. He was a constant highlight reel for the Blue Devils this season, which is why he is the top-ranked prospect heading in to June's NBA Draft.
