March Madness is underway and today's college stars have a chance to cement themselves in this summer's NBA draft class. The 2026 draft is expected to take place in late June. In USA TODAY's latest mock draft, Duke's Cameron Boozer is expected to go in the first round.

Here's how USA TODAY currently projects the forward's draft night will play out. Cameron Boozer 2026 NBA Draft prediction: Pick No. 3 overall, Sacramento Kings All picks based on Tankathon lottery projection Kalbrosky's Analysis: He is projected here at No.

3 overall, but depending on which team gets the No. 1 overall pick, Duke freshman Cameron Boozer is potentially the top player in the class. The Kings have the second-worst offense in the Western Conference and could instantly inject life into their offense by selecting Boozer, who was arguably the best player in college basketball during his first NCAA season.

The ACC Player of the Year isnt a human highlight reel but his statistical profile jumps off the page by virtually any metric and he is nothing short of a dominant paint scorer. Boozer offers consistency and a diverse, impactful skill set. More importantly, he can bring a culture of winning after multiple championships in high school and an elite Duke team in college.
