Duke’s Cameron Boozer accomplished a freshman feat that Cooper Flagg failed to accomplish

ByNBAUSA



Duke basketball Head coach John Scheier refrained from comparing Cameron Boozer to Cooper Flagg, but people will inevitably pitting two star freshmen against each other who played for the Blue Devils just a year apart from each other. Well, on Tuesday, the future NBA draft prospect accomplished something that even the Dallas Mavericks’ touted rookie didn’t do during his season in Durham.

Boozer scored 39 points on 10-of-21 shooting in a 67-66 home win against Floridaleading him to 90 points in the last three competitionsThat’s the most ever by a Duke freshman over a three-game stretch, according to ESPN Insights X. The 6-foot-9 forward also grabbed six rebounds and was credited with an assist on Isaiah Evans’ 3-pointer with just 21 seconds left. He influences the action in various ways, and with impressive efficiency.

During said 90-point stretch, which also included strong showings against Howard and Arkansas, Boozer twice topped 70 percent shooting from the field. He leads dangerous Duke team it is now 9-0 on the season. The roster boasts an abundance of talent, but the phenom carries a heavy load on a nightly basis.

Like Flagg, Boozer accepts the responsibilities that come with being the face of the Blue Devils. It doesn’t look rattled from pressure at all. His father, two-time NBA All-Star and Duke alum Carlos Boozer, certainly prepared him for the spotlight. The 18-year-old will only draw more eyes as he continues to rack up milestones in his first and possibly only Duke basketball season.

Beyond all the individual accomplishments, what can really help Cameron Boozer stand out is a national championship. Scheier’s team will look to stay perfect when they take on Michigan State (8-0) in East Lansing.
