Duke signee Cayden Boozer will be gearing up to play for the Blue Devils next season along with his brother Cameron Boozer. While the Boozer twins continue to display some terrific performances for the Columbus Explorers, Cayden Boozer took to Instagram to share a post by Duke's Men's Basketball after their recent victory.
The Blue Devils improved their record to 14-2 after an 86-78 victory over Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Jan. 12.
Freshman Cooper Flagg led the charge for Jon Scheyer's side as he finished with 42 points on 78.5% shooting, including 66.6% from beyond the arc, setting a conference freshman single-game scoring record.

He was helped offensively by two more players who scored in double-digits. Kon Knueppel finished with 13 points and Khaman Maluach had 19.
The Boozer twins committed to their father's alma mater on Oct. 11 after receiving offers from Miami, Florida, Kentucky, Florida State, Arkansas, North Carolina and other programs.
How good is Cayden Boozer?
Cayden Boozer, known for his exceptional passing skills, has played 87 games for the Explorers over three seasons and ranks 23rd nationally and fourth among point guards. During his freshman year in 2021-22, Boozer averaged 16.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.4 blocks per game in 30 matches.
In his sophomore year, he played 28 games, posting averages of 15.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.4 blocks per game. Last season, Boozer played 29 matches, averaging 12.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.3 blocks per contest.
On3's Keegan Pope described the guard as a strong-framed player with high IQ in his scouting report:
“Cayden Boozer is a strong-framed and aggressive point guard. At 6-foot-2, 6-foot-3 is a tough on-the-ball defender. He has quick feet at the point of attack and a strong IQ, understanding angles, and footwork. There is a toughness about Boozer."
He also stated that Boozer needs to work on his handles in traffic:
"He will need to continue to tighten the handle in traffic and continue to hone the reads, but that is natural growth. The jump shot is streaky; it is something he will need to continue developing to become a consistent threat."
The Boozer twins will be joined by Shelton Henderson and Nikolas Khamenia at Duke next season.
