He couldn’t just be ‘Cameron’ — that last name followed him,” Boozer Sr. said, on the eve of the draft.“People couldn’t wait to play him, people couldn’t wait to talk trash and see what he’s made of. And that’s part of what builds him the way he is.“He didn’t mind the competition, people coming for him. Because he’s coming for them, too.View Tweet: https://x.com/CameronBoozer12?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw“As a parent, you always want you kids to be smarter, to be better than what you did. In a situation, even now, he has a chance to be No.1 in the draft.“I wasn’t ever going to be No.1 in the draft, so that’s an awesome experience.“I’ve had so many moment where I’m watching and getting chills. These super proud dad moments, they just haven’t stopped.”Cameron has built his draft stock at Duke, the same school his dad won the NCAA Championship with in 2001.While he didn’t quite go all the way in March Madness like pops, he had a stunning season in Durham, averaging 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists as he dominated the boards.Cameron played alongside brother Cayden in high school and at DukeGettyDad Carlos watched them closely throughout their time with the Blue DevilsGettyBoozer wasn’t alone on the Blue Devils, either.His twin brother, Cayden Boozer, also stepped up in big moments as Duke stormed the Atlantic Coast Conference and won the conference tournament.Boozer twins gave dad ‘chills’ with Duke exploits“I got the chills so many times watching my kids wear the same jersey I wore 25 years ago,” Carlos explained.“They were excelling and playing outstandingly. “Cameron was the best player in the country all year long and showed up huge every single night and Cayden had spectacular moments when we needed him the most.“Caleb Foster goes down, and Cayden steps in right away and played great and proved he’s a starting point guard in college and he’s ready to have a breakout sophomore season.”Cameron could be called by one of his dad’s former teams, the JazzGettyWhile Cayden will stay at Duke for at least one more year, Cameron declared for the NBA Draft following his freshman season.If the Jazz indeed come calling at No.2, he will head to the same city where his dad played for six years, and is currently a member of the front office.Ahead of the draft, Carlos offered his eldest some solid advice, regardless of where he ends up.“I was definitely nervous getting ready for the draft, and just seeing where the next steps will take me,” Carlos, who was the No.35 pick in 2002, said.Carlos offered his son some advice ahead of the NBA DraftGetty“But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that the time you get nervous, or get a little anxiety, are the times you know you’re really alive.“Embrace that nervousness, embrace those butterflies, because those are special moments. You only live it once, so enjoy it while you have it.“Continue to be who you are, just Cam. People are going to love you for who you are, people are not going to love you for who you are.“But one of the best qualities about you is that you continue to be yourself, no matter what the environment. Keep being you.”Boozer will be joined in Memphis by Karim Lopez, who became the first Mexican-born first round pick in the NBA Draft when he was taken 21st overall.Trading back twice from the 16th overall selection, the Grizzlies not only snagged Lopez – who has been playing his basketball in Australia’s NBL – but five future second round picks.It’s clear Memphis are building for the long term, and Ja Morant could be the latest departure – but Boozer and Lopez represent the first glipse into the future.Stay up to date on all things NBA across our talkSPORT platforms – subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest news, opinion, exclusive interviews and our daily unfiltered, unscripted show ‘The S* Word, from 8am ET.
