Duke basketball freshman phenom Cameron Boozer is widely regarded as one of the top-three 2026 NBA Draft prospects following one of the most productive freshman seasons in recent college basketball memory.
As a rookie with the Blue Devils this past season, the 6’9″ forward averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.4 steals a night on 55.6% shooting from the field and 39.1% shooting from three-point range. Boozer tallied double-digits in the scoring column in every single game en route to winning ACC Player of the Year and National Player of the Year.

Regardless of any limitations, Boozer is as consistent as it gets. He is assuredly the safest option in this year’s draft, and given his consistent dominance at every level he has ever played at, it’s pretty hard not to envision the star forward having a long and productive career in the NBA.
