Draymond Green Compares Cameron Boozer to All-Time Great NBA Player

The 2026 NBA Draft class features some elite talent at the top of the table, including highly-touted prospect Cameron Boozer.

Boozer recently finished up his one-and-done season with the Duke Blue Devils, ending his brief collegiate career with some impressive accolades. The 6-foot-9 big man was named the National Player of the Year, ACC Player of the Year and earned consensus All-American First Team honors - averaging 22.5 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.

Boozer is undersized by NBA standards and doesn’t posses elite athleticism. But, it’s hard to argue with the results.

Draymond Green recently compared Boozer to all-time great NBA legend Tim Duncan.

“Cam Boozer is probably a 20 [points] and 10 [rebounds] guy from the time he walks in [to the NBA],” Green said on his podcast. “He wins and he’s fundamentally sound.”

"Tim Duncan never had to blow you through the roof, yet he was so great. He's one of the greatest players we've ever seen,” Green added. “And I think that was Tim Duncan. And you look at Cam Boozer, he has a similar thing. Not saying Cam Boozer is going to be Tim Duncan. I don't know that. Tim Duncan's greatest power forward we've ever seen play. But what I'm saying, there's no wow to it. It's just results after results after results after results.”
