The Brooklyn Nets hold a higher chance of landing at No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft. Does Cameron Boozer look like a fit after an in-depth review?
The Brooklyn Nets now hold a 14-percent chance to land the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA draft.
That still doesn't make them a lock to land at the top, though.
The Utah Jazz helped clarify the draft race further on Monday by winning the tiebreaker over the Sacramento Kings. All this means is that the Jazz increased their personal chances to draft higher than Sacramento.
But both teams still hold a lower chance of landing at the top compared to Brooklyn. The question remains, though: who should general manager Sean Marks take with the team's first pick?
NetsRoundtable have presented multiple NBA draft ideas this April ranging from Keaton Wagler of Illinois, Kingston Flemings of Houston, Darius Acuff of Arkansas, and Darryn Peterson of Kansas as top five options.
Now we dive into one of college basketball's most popular names who many believe will enter the 2026 NBA Draft: Cameron Boozer of Duke.
Stats Domination
Boozer is a scoring and rebounding machine as the stats prove it.
His 22.5 points per game along with 10.2 rebounds handed him top 12 national marks. And Boozer delivered that production while facing one of the toughest schedules in America. Not just limited to Atlantic Coast Conference play either.
He never fell below 13 points in a game while also not dropping under five rebounds.
These stats paint this transparent picture: Boozer wants the ball, regardless if its under the hoop or when it clanks off the rim.
But Boozer is selfless with the basketball and delivered eight or nine assists on two occasions. He knows what to do with the basketball in his hand.
Limited on Defense?
Boozer comes off as one of the more complete talents entering the NBA Draft. But he does have his own flaws.
Some teams exposed his defensive game, especially in losses. Teams that resort to "bully ball" tactics got to Boozer.
Although he can catch shot attempts from behind and deliver the swat, as seen here versus UConn.
Still though, Boozer came off as the type of defender who does his best block work from behind and not in front.
Can Boozer Fit Nets?
No doubt Boozer's name alone will sell tickets inside the Barclays Center.
He also comes with notable bloodlines as fans know about his renown dad, nine-time NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer.
This Boozer can score in a variety of ways but does his best work down low. Fernandez would take a liking to Boozer's brain cells on the floor and post up ability. The latter is a big need in Brooklyn.
Fernandez and Marks can either opt for a more explosive rim attacker or a smarter post talent. Boozer at this stage looks like a talent who'll fall no lower than No. 5 overall. But the Nets may opt for a more explosive guard even if Boozer is available.
