2) Cayden Boozer -Son of Carlos Boozer

Carlos Boozer has not one but two top NBA draft prospects as sons, with Cayden Boozer being the twin brother of Cameron. While he isn't as highly regarded as his twin, Cayden still ranks high on ESPN's top 100 recruits, coming in at 16.

That makes him a five-star recruit, and a lot of eyes will be on both him and his brother in the lead-up to the 2026 NBA Draft. He does have the added benefit of not being as highly regarded.

As a result, he doesn't have the same expectations as Cameron, but if he plays up to his full potential at Duke, then he should have no problem being selected in the first round.

1) Cameron Boozer-Son of Carlos Boozer

Son of former NBA star Carlos Boozer, Cam Boozer is projected to be a top-3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. He and his twin brother Cayden both appear on ESPN's top 100 recruits, with Cam Boozer being listed as the top recruit.

That, combined with the fact he is the son of a four-time all-star, has led to increased interest in him as a prospect. Particularly since most second-generation players tend to be better than their fathers in the NBA.

Cam Boozer certainly has the talent to surpass his father, with him being seen as a talented inside-outside scorer who is a dominant rebounder, and gifted passer with a high basketball IQ. He has drawn some comparison to Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero but perhaps with a higher floor. If he can live up to the lofty expectations then he could easily surpass his father as an NBA player.
