Syracuse freshman Malachi Richardson has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Week, the league announced Monday afternoon.

Richardson scored 37 points in two games this past week, posting 14 in a 64-62 win against then-No. 20 Duke and a career-high 23 in a loss to then-No.13 Virginia. He hit 6-of-10 shots from behind the arc against the Cavaliers and went 8-of-15 overall from the field. Richardson also grabbed eight rebounds in the two-game stretch and played an average of 38.5 minutes per game.

Sunday night’s game against UVA was the first time all season Richardson never exited a game. He also had his highest single-game field-goal percentage (53.3 percent) when taking more than seven shots.

Richardson is now averaging 13.4 points per game, which ranks 24th in the ACC. His 47 made 3-pointers put him fifth in the conference in that category.
