Tyrese Proctor - Leads Duke to ACC title Proctor finished with 19 points (6-14 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 1-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 73-62 victory over Louisville.

Impact Kon Knueppel was one of the top players for Duke in this title win in the absence of Cooper Flagg (ankle), but Proctor was the one who stepped up and delivered an impressive outing while scoring a team-high 19 points. Surprisingly, all 14 of his field goals came from three-point range. Proctor should be a steady presence on offense for the Blue Devils in the NCAA Tournament, but he'll likely be a secondary option behind both Flagg and Knueppel.

Kon Knueppel - Solid showing in champ game Knueppel posted 18 points (6-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 73-62 victory over Louisville.

Impact The Blue Devils were without Cooper Flagg (ankle) in this title game, but Knueppel stepped up once again and was one of the top performers for Duke on their way to the ACC title. Flagg should be Duke's go-to option in the NCAA Tournament, but Knueppel has proven he can be a reliable option on offense as well. He averaged 21.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game during the ACC Tournament.

Cooper Flagg - Will return for NCAA Tournament Flagg (ankle) will be available for Duke during the NCAA Tournament, Myron Medcalf of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Flagg, who suffered an ankle injury during Thursday's 78-70 win over Georgia Tech, will be available for the Blue Devils during next week's NCAA Tournament matchup. The 6-foot-9 freshman will remain sidelined during Saturday's ACC Championship game against Louisville, but the team is confident that he will be ready to go next week. Flagg is the current consensus pick to go first overall in this year's NBA Draft, and Duke's NCAA Championship aspirations fall squarely on the shoulders of the freshman phenom.
