Grizzlies Select Cameron Boozer with 3rd Pick in NBA Draft
Boozer averaged 22.5 points and won three major national awards in one season before joining a Grizzlies team that finished 26-56.
- On Tuesday, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Duke forward Cameron Boozer with the third overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, marking the team's highest selection since drafting Ja Morant in 2019.
- Boozer arrives after a stellar freshman season at Duke, averaging 22.5 points and 10.2 rebounds while sweeping the Naismith, Wooden, and AP Player of the Year awards and leading the Blue Devils to a 35-3 record.
- Cameron is the son of Carlos Boozer, a two-time All-Star and 13-year NBA veteran, and joins a Grizzlies roster recovering from a 26-56 season that included losing 21 of their final 23 games.
- Alongside 7-foot-3 center Zach Edey, drafted ninth in 2024, and Cedric Coward, the 11th selection a year ago, Boozer forms the foundation for Memphis' latest rebuilding project.
- Despite suffering facial and orbital fractures during the Elite Eight, Boozer brings needed toughness to the rebuild; "I'm just going through the healing process," he said during his news conference.
