Cameron Boozer’s Historic Draft Run | Memphis Grizzlies News

Cameron Boozer, the No. 3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, is headed to the Memphis Grizzlies after an electrifying freshman season at Duke where he shattered records as the consensus National Player of the Year — averaging 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists while shooting 39.1% from three. He’s the only freshman ever to score 700+ points, grab 300+ rebounds, and dish 100+ assists in one season, ranking second nationally in scoring and field goals made. With 22 double-doubles — tying for the nation’s lead — and a historic summer league performance earning him All-Summer League First Team honors, Boozer is already the favorite for Rookie of the Year. A musician since fourth grade who plays cello and has represented USA Basketball twice with gold medals and MVP honors, he’s honoring his mother by wearing No. 27. His twin brother Cayden stays at Duke, while Cameron begins his pro career with the legacy of his dad, Carlos Boozer, and joins a rare club of Duke players drafted third overall — including Jayson Tatum and Grant Hill.
