Carlos Boozer is among the many former NBA players who have children on the brink of making the pros. Recently, the former All-Star took to social media to support one of his sons following an impressive performance.
Carlos has twin boys who find themselves among the top-ranked prospects of their high school class. Cameron and Cayden have already made a big decision regarding their future, as they committed and signed with Duke to follow in their father's footsteps. As far as where they stand among their peers, Cameron is ranked No. 3 and Cayden comes in at No. 17 in ESPN's top 100 for the class of 2025.
Earlier this week, the boys competed in the City of Palms Classic in Florida. Cayden would have a standout showing, recording 16 points and eight assists in a win. Following this performance, Carlos Boozer and his sister Natasha showed love to Cayden on Instagram.
Carlos spent 13 years in the NBA, suiting up for various teams. His longest tenure was with the Utah Jazz, where he was named to two All-Star teams. Before landing in Utah, Carlos started his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing alongside a young LeBron James.
Aside from being a multi-time All-Star, Carlos also made an All-Rookie team and received All-NBA honors in 2008. He retired in 2015 after spending one season with the LA Lakers at the age of 33.
