John Collins received his first ever ACC Player of the Week award today from the Atlantic Coast Conference website. Collins, a sophomore out of West Palm Beach, Florida, averaged 24 points per game and 8 rebounds per game in back-to-back victories over Miami and N.C. State.
Collins began his week with a career-high 27 point effort against Miami, a game that the Demon Deacons won 96-79. He also chipped in seven rebounds to show he’s not a one trick pony.
He then helped lead Wake Forest to its first conference road win in three years with the 93-88 win over the Wolfpack in Raleigh.
