Cameron Boozer Opens Up on Duke Heartbreak, 2026 NBA Draft and Growing Up as the son of Carlos Boozer
With the 2026 NBA Draft just weeks away, we joined Cameron Boozer for a ride through the streets of Miami. The Duke star opens up about the heartbreak of Duke's NCAA tournament loss, preparing for the NBA draft, growing up as the son of NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, and what it will be like separating from his twin brother Cayden for the first time. Cam also discusses the sacrifices required to reach the next level, his favorite NBA players, why he chose Duke, the strength of the 2026 draft class, and the moment he was surprised with a custom painted dream car waiting in his driveway.
