Cameron Boozer, the son of former NBA All‑Star Carlos Boozer, has emerged as one of the most coveted high school basketball talents of his generation, drawing national attention long before his senior year.
A Record‑Setting Journey
Boozer starred for the Columbus High Explorers in Miami, guiding the team to four consecutive state championships while posting averages of 18.9 points and 10.9 rebounds as a freshman and exceeding 20 points and 11 rebounds per game in each of his subsequent seasons.
Commitment to Duke
Ranked as a five‑star prospect and the No. 3 overall player in the 2025 recruiting cycle by 247Sports, Boozer announced his college choice on October 11, 2024, committing to Duke University alongside his brother Cayden, a move that underscores the family's deep roots in the sport.
A Draft‑Ready Prospect
After a highly anticipated high school career, Boozer entered the 2026 NBA Draft conversation early, and the Memphis Grizzlies rewarded his ascent by selecting him with the third overall pick, cementing his status as a franchise cornerstone.
Looking Forward
Analysts predict that Boozer’s blend of size, skill and basketball IQ could make an immediate impact in the league, continuing a family legacy that began with his father’s All‑Star career and extending into a new era for the Grizzlies.
