Boozer is the son of former NBA star Carlos Boozer and the twin brother of Cameron Boozer, the reigning Wooden Award winner and projected top-three pick in the NBA draft.
Cayden, on the other hand, has opted to return to the Blue Devils next season, where his role will likely increase. He was a reserve to start the season but stepped up as a starter when Caleb Foster went down with a foot injury.
As the season rolled on, Boozer continued to show off elite playmaking and scoring. He went on the earn a spot on the ACC All-Tournament Second Team and played a big role in helping the Blue Devils reach the Elite Eight.
In that game against the UConn Huskies, Cayden had 15 points, six assists and five rebounds. But he made a crucial mistake in the final seconds and turned the ball over before Braylon Mullins sank a ridiculous three to stun the Blue Devils.
Ultimately, he averaged 7.7 points, 3.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 50% from the floor in his freshman season. Those numbers are likely to improve in his sophomore campaign.
