A lot of the talk about the Duke basketball season has been centered around Cameron Boozer, one of the best players in America. Many consider Boozer one of the top three picks in the 2026 NBA Draft at the very worst.

Boozer might not be what his brother is, or play as much as him, but he's still playing 22.3 minutes per night, shooting 38.5% from 3-point range, and averaging 4.0 assists per game. He has the ability to make things happen for his teammates, and Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report believes he'd be an excellent fit for the Oklahoma City Thunder late in the first round with the No. 26 pick.
“Cayden Boozer's numbers don't jump off the page, and they might not all season. But it's pretty obvious he has an advanced feel running offense and setting the table.
“His unselfishness and IQ are easy to pick up on. There will be scouts who don't see enough athleticism or scoring for a lead guard, but he should still earn fans for his ability to make the right reads and the game easier for teammates. By season's end, there should also be enough evidence of shotmaking, floaters and timely drives that suggest Boozer has more offense to offer than his current role or mindset allow him to consistently showcase,” he wrote.
