Prospect Report Card

School record/path: Piled up a career record of 114-14 with four consecutive finishes in the MaxPreps Top 25. Boozer led the Explorers to the national title during his senior campaign in 2024-25 after finishing No. 2 in the national rankings in the year before.

Stats/accomplishments: Averaged a double-double all four seasons with career tallies of 21.1 points, 11.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per contest. Boozer is arguably the most accomplished high school basketball player of all-time with three consecutive Peach Jam titles, two gold medals with USA Basketball and two MaxPreps National Player of the Year awards.

Outstanding achievement: Went off for a career-high 40 points on 13 of 18 from the field and 11 of 11 from the free throw line in a blowout victory over Ace Bailey-led McEachern (Powder Springs, Ga.). He earned co-MVP honors in the McDonald’s All American Game with 16 points and 12 rebounds.

Needs work: The biggest questions surrounding Boozer are mainly around his athleticism and defensive mobility. Boozer will need to work on his quickness to avoid being a defensive liability against the top players at his position.

Best fit/likely landing spot: It appears the 2026 Men’s National College Player of the Year will be selected by the Memphis Grizzlies at No. 3 or Chicago Bulls at No. 4. At either destination, Boozer would immediately be looked at as the No. 1 option during his rookie campaign as he looks to turn around a struggling franchise.
