The NBA Draft is less than two weeks away, so it won’t be long until we learn where Cameron Boozer will play ball for the foreseeable future.
The smart people now think he may end up being taken by Utah with the second pick, but the smart people are frequently wrong. We’ll just have to wait and see.

The latest mock drafts (ESPN, CBS, NBADraft.net, and SBNation) see him going to Memphis with the #3 pick, while Yahoo has him going to the Jazz at #2.
Like a lot of Duke players, Boozer comes from a basketball family, with his father, Carlos, having played at Duke in Cameron before he gave that name to his son.
In this article, the author focuses on following a famous father. It can be difficult, but not for everyone. Kobe Bryant far exceeded his father Joe; in fact, his father is nearly forgotten. Steph Curry outshone his father Dell, and Klay Thompson has eclipsed his father, Mychal.
But a lot of guys don’t manage it. Michael Jordan’s sons were never going to surpass their dad, but they never even got close to the NBA. Scotty Pippen Jr., has a long ways to go to catch his dad. Hakeem Olajuwon’s son, Aziz is at Stanford, and this fall, he’ll start to understand how difficult that is.

Boozer has made his own reputation, but he had to deal with it on the way up. At this point in his career, he’s well ahead of his father. His fundamentals are impeccable, and he is, by far, a better passer and shooter than his dad ever was. And he’s just 19.
Watching his career unfold is going to be a lot of fun.
