Cameron Boozer has arrived on campus with some big shoes to fill. Not only is he the son of former Duke and NBA big man Carlos Boozer, but he’s supposed to be the face of the program after Cooper Flagg left.
Fortunately for him, he will be surrounded by talented players, including his twin brother Cayden, and he’ll also have Jon Scheyer’s guidance in what will most likely be his lone season in college.
With that in mind, college basketball analyst Jamie Shaw of On3 dug deep into his tape and the Blue Devils’ roster and projected lineup to predict his freshman-year stats.

“One guy we didn’t even get to touch on was (Cam) Boozer,” said Shaw. “You know, he’s another one kind of along the lines of (Darryn) Peterson where he’s going to come in this year and he’s going to put astronomical numbers from day one. I mean, you can pencil him in for 18 (points), 7.5 (rebounds), and 2.5 assists from the jump and possibly just grow from there. He’s going to be on the biggest stage with Duke. You know, so, he’s going to put up numbers.”

Of course, projections can always fail, and once the players take the court for the first time, everything that has been written and said about them will be pretty much meaningless.
But if his high school tape is any indicator of success, the Duke Blue Devils could have one of the three or maybe even two best players in all of college basketball next season.
