Memphis Grizzlies rookie Cameron Boozer has emerged as a central figure in the early 2026-27 NBA season. Following his selection as the third overall pick, league general managers identified him as the favorite to win Rookie of the Year, with 50% of executives supporting his candidacy. As Boozer enters training camp, he is transitioning to professional basketball after a year at Duke. Memphis general manager Zach Kleiman has expressed high expectations for the forward, citing his versatility, shooting, rebounding, and toughness as vital to the franchise’s rebuilding efforts. In his professional debut against the Utah Jazz, Boozer ~~has noted~~ set an NBA record for the ~~personal adjustment~~ highest plus-minus in a debut, finishing with a +32 rating. Despite a shooting performance of ~~navigating his professional career independently~~ 2-of-15 from the field, he became the first player in league history to record a plus-minus of 30 or more while making two or fewer field goals on at least 10 attempts. Boozer contributed 11 rebounds and 5 assists with only one turnover. Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo praised the 19-year-old’s defensive impact, particularly his ~~twin brother.~~ ability to guard Lauri Markkanen, remarking that Boozer demonstrates an understanding of the game that “typically takes players a decade to master.”
