Duke head coach Jon Scheyer praised Carlos Boozer for his impact on the Blue Devils this season as a coach and as a father to Cameron and Cayden.

Throughout the season, no two players have dominated headlines like the Boozer brothers, Cameron and Cayden. Not only are the duo some of the most talented freshman in the country, they are also the sons of former Duke star, Carlos Boozer, who won a national title with the school in 2001 and went on to play 13 years in the NBA. Ahead of Duke's Sweet 16 matchup against St.

John's, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer spoke about Carlos Boozer's impact and what it's meant having him on the sidelines to support the team and his sons. "Carlos from a former player's perspective, just coaches guys," he said. "It's been awesome to see that connection, but also he's just been dad, which has been just a special thing.

" Although Boozer previously worked as an ACC Network analyst, he won't be in the studio for Friday's game against St. John's. Boozer will more than likely be sitting courtside, cheering on his sons and his alma mater, as they hope to advance to the Elite Eight.
