Cameron Boozer, along with his twin brother, Cayden Boozer, made sure that the Explorers won their games by blowout margins.

They secured a 74-44 record in the Regional Finals against Miami on Feb. 20 and a 78-48 victory against Seminole on Saturday.

Cameron Boozer predicted 2026 NBA Draft pick
The Duke signee was predicted by ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo to be the third pick in the 2026 Mock NBA Draft. The 6-foot-9 power forward is predicted to follow Darryn Peterson as the first pick and AJ Dybantsa as the second pick.
Famous basketball page Slam High School posted the rankings on Instagram:
The Utah Jazz holds the third pick in the 2026 NBA Draft as a Top-8 protected pick. However, if Boozer is picked 9th through 30th, he will go to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Do you think Boozer will be the third pick at the 2026 NBA Draft?
