Throughout the course of their history, the Duke Blue Devils have had a myriad of future NBA players on their rosters. This year alone, they had five alumni taking their talents to the pros.
That’s why Cameron Boozer, their newest star, is also projected to be next in line. He’s the son of another former Blue Devil and NBA player, Carlos Boozer, and he’ll likely be another one-and-done player.
Wth that in mind, NBA Draft expert Jonathan Givony put together his way-too-early mock draft, and he thinks that Boozer will go to the Brooklyn Nets with the third-overall pick.

“Boozer is one of the most productive high school players we’ve ever seen, with a winning résumé unmatched by any prospect in recent memory,” Givony wrote. “He has an elite feel for the game, and can handle, pass, shoot and guard every position. He brings relentless physicality, crashes the glass and takes pride in dominating his matchups inside.”
Needless to say, this is just a projection, and a lot of things can change until that day. But judging by the Nets’ current roster, it’s hard to envision a more promising outcome for them next season.
At least, their woes won’t go unnoticed and unrewarded. If Boozer turns out to be as good as projected, he might be what the franchise needs to finally get the monkey off their backs.
