Cameron Boozer's newest Grizzlies teammate: 'He's going to be a problem'
Memphis Grizzlies center Isaiah Stewart had high praise to give his teammate, former Duke star Cameron Boozer.
Cameron Boozer, the recently acquired No. 3 pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, is set to make a significant impact in the NBA. After an outstanding freshman year at Duke, Boozer showcased his skills during NBA Summer League, leading his team to the finals alongside sophomore guard Cedric Coward. His impressive performance has garnered attention within the Grizzlies organization.
Isaiah Stewart, a seasoned six-year center from the Detroit Pistons who was recently traded to Memphis, expressed his admiration for Boozer. Stewart praised Boozer's versatility, stating that the 18-year-old possesses a formidable frame and operates effectively during practice sessions. According to Stewart, "He's going to be a problem."
Boozer's potential to become an even more well-rounded player is evident. With the guidance of Stewart, Boozer could develop additional skills. Last season, Stewart was one of the league's premier shot-blockers, averaging 1.6 blocks per game while playing off the bench for just 22.7 minutes. Boozer, on the other hand, averaged only 0.6 blocks during his collegiate career last season. Under Stewart's tutelage, Boozer could enhance his defensive capabilities.
