Cameron Boozer Just Put Together One of the Most Dominant College Seasons Ever and Nobody's Even Talking About It
Look, we all remember Cooper Flagg's ridiculous freshman year at Duke. National Player of the Year, No. 1 overall pick in 2025, the whole deal. Big shoes to fill, right? Well, Cameron Boozer didn't just fill them. He absolutely torched them.
The 6'9" forward from Miami came into the 2025-26 season as one of the most decorated high school prospects ever, but expectations were still sky high after watching Flagg put together one of the best rookie campaigns in recent college basketball memory. Boozer had to know people were comparing him to that. And you know what? He delivered something even better.

From day one, Boozer was unstoppable. He was Duke's best scorer, passer, and rebounder, and by a mile. The dude averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per night on 55.6% from the field and 39.1% from three. He also chipped in 1.4 steals a night. But here's the kicker: he recorded 22 double-doubles and didn't score in single digits once all season. Not once. That's consistency at an elite level.
Still Hasn't Cracked the Top Two
So Boozer won the 2026 National Player of the Year award, which should tell you everything. The crazy part? After January, there was literally no competition for that award. He ran away with it. But even with that kind of dominance, the scouting reports still have him behind BYU's AJ Dybantsa and Kansas' Darryn Peterson in the 2026 draft conversation. Both are expected to be the primary scoring options on NBA title teams, and apparently that projects higher than what Boozer brings to the table. His less flashy play style has scouts thinking his ceiling is lower, even if what he's done on the court is absolutely bonkers.
The draft is coming, and Boozer's name is climbing boards. Watch for this kid in the NBA.
