Four-star forward Nik Khamenia was in Portland for flag and country as he played for USA Basketball during the 2025 Nike Hoop Summit. After Team USA's 124-112 win on Saturday, he sat down with NBA draft analyst Krysten Peek and spoke about his teammates, the Boozer Twins, Cameron and Cayden. He will be teaming up with them next season at Duke.
Khamenia spoke with Peek while icing up and cooling down and was all praises for the twin sons of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer.
"I knew they were very good, but just being able to play with them for the first time, I knew their IQ was really high, but playing with them, I really got the feel for how high it really is," Khamenia said (Timestamp: 0:36). "They really know how to play the game.
"Cameron's really strong, and Cayden's really good at attacking the basket and seeing both corners and seeing if the wings are open."
Peek asked Nik Khamenia about how he was building chemistry with his two future teammates in Durham.
"It is my first time playing with them," he said. "I've always played on the other side of them, so it's always been competitive matches going against them and talking a little bit of trash, but now we're on the same team helping each other out, so it's definitely been fun and I can't wait to get to Durham and play with them."
Nik Khamenia, who played for Harvard Westlake this season, said that he is "super excited" to play for the Blue Devils next season, especially as the team is fresh off a Final Four appearance.
