When the 2026 NBA Draft order was finalized, Cameron Boozer likely had a few key cities circled on his map. The former Duke star and Wooden Award winner is projected to land somewhere in the top three picks, with experts split between the Memphis Grizzlies at No. 3 and the Utah Jazz at No. 2—a team with special significance, as his father, Carlos Boozer, spent seven seasons there.
But wherever he ends up, the 6-foot-9 forward has a clear message for the team that selects him: you're getting a winner. "Whether I go 1, 2, or 3, or whatever the case may be, I think winning and what I bring to the team, my resume, it shows for itself," Boozer said confidently. "If a team wants to hang a banner in the rafters, I'm definitely the guy."
That confidence is backed by a stellar season at Duke. Boozer averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, leading the Blue Devils to a 35-3 record. Under head coach Jon Scheyer, Duke looked poised for a deep tournament run, but fell just short of the Final Four, losing to UConn in the Elite Eight.
For a team eyeing a championship, Boozer's pitch is simple: he's ready to help turn potential into hardware. Whether it's the Grizzlies, Jazz, or another team that makes the call, the message is the same—this is a player who believes he can be the missing piece.
