Report: There Are Questions About How Duke’s Cameron Boozer Will Handle NBA Length

“While Boozer’s size and strength helped him dominate the college game, his wider skillset is a strong reason for optimism as he begins his professional career,” Marks wrote. “First, Boozer shot 39.1 percent from 3, looking like an NBA stretch-four with legitimate floor-spacing ability. He’s also a solid handler and creator, who refined how to pass out of double-teams this season, and who is comfortable running the sorts of on-ball actions that will be asked of him at times in the league. And defensively, while Duke mostly used him as a center-fielder rather than a strict low-post defender, his timing and instincts improved dramatically throughout the season.”
