Cameron Boozer has officially arrived in Durham—and if anyone was sleeping on the freshman phenom before, they’re wide awake now.
A jaw-dropping clip from Duke’s summer practice surfaced online earlier this week, showing Boozer powering through contact, throwing down a vicious dunk, and staring down the gym like he owned the building. The clip exploded on social media within hours, racking up thousands of shares and sparking a firestorm of fan reactions.
“Put some RESPECT on his name!” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter), echoing the sentiment of thousands. “He’s not just Carlos Boozer’s son—he’s a straight-up PROBLEM!”
Many Duke fans are already calling Cameron Boozer the most physically dominant freshman they’ve seen since Zion Williamson. While comparisons like that are always steep, Boozer’s mix of strength, finesse, and unshakable confidence has made him an early standout in Jon Scheyer’s summer workouts.
Even veteran returnees were seen nodding in approval after the play—something rarely witnessed during Duke’s notoriously intense practices. One insider called the moment a “statement play” and said it might have just shifted the pecking order in the locker room.
And it’s not just Duke fans getting hyped. College hoops accounts, scouts, and even a few NBA insiders reposted the clip with captions like:
“This kid is BUILT DIFFERENT.”
“Top 3 pick energy already?”
“The Boozer legacy just got even scarier.”
Though it’s early, there’s a growing buzz around the idea that Cameron Boozer could be more than just a key contributor—he might be the foundational piece of this year’s Duke squad. And after this viral moment, there’s no doubt: the spotlight has officially found him.
With the season still months away, one thing is clear—Cameron Boozer isn’t just here to play. He’s here to dominate.
