Cayden Boozer

Draft Notes

Like his twin brother Cameron, Cayden is a high level prospect from the 2025 recruiting class. He had an up and down first year for the Blue Devils and chose to forgo the 2026 NBA Draft.

He’s a strong, well-built guard with an advanced skill level and feel for the game. He’s a tough driver and creative finisher who uses his frame well and can finish through contact.

Cayden isn’t a big time above the rim player at this stage but is a crafty scorer, a high level passer and a great decision maker on the court. He has a big impact on the game even when not scoring the ball.

He’s a pesky defender who can guard up and down the line up and plays great team defense. He moves his feet well to stay in front of ball handlers and has very quick hands.

Is like a coach on the floor and makes great decisions with the ball.

Isn’t an elite NBA prospect like his brother but projects as a solid rotation piece at the next level who could develop into a starter.
