On3 updated its 2025 class rankings on Monday, and Cameron Boozer is the No. 1 player in the class. 

The Miami (FL) Christopher Columbus High power forward is one of eight five-star prospects in the 2025 On3 150 update. Boozer recently took his first official visit to Kentucky. 

The 6-foot-8, 215-pound power forward has become one of the most sought-after players in the high school basketball landscape based on his production, his consistency in winning, and his pedigree. 

Let’s dive into what makes Cameron Boozer the No. 1 prospect in the 2025 cycle. 

The Updated 2025 On3 150

Boozer Is All About Production

Cameron Boozer has been a double-double since he stepped on a high school basketball court. In 60 high school games over his freshman and sophomore seasons, Boozer has 45 double-doubles. As a freshman, the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 18.9 points and 10.9 rebounds. As a sophomore, those numbers rose to 21.1 points and 11.3 rebounds. 

Even with that consistent production, Boozer offers more. He is an excellent passer. Able to receive the ball at multiple levels of the floor and hit a teammate in stride from multiple angles. His quick processing leads to points. Off defensive rebounds, Boozer is able to grab and go, pushing the break under control and making decisions. Boozer has averaged 4.1 assists per game through his two high school seasons. 

This season, with the Nighrydas program on Nike’s EYBL E16 Circuit, Boozer finished second in the regular season in scoring (24.9 points) and first in rebounding (13.2). He shot 70.1 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three while dishing out 3.8 assists per game. With USA Basketball this summer, Boozer finished second on the team in scoring (16.8 points) and first in rebounds (9.8). 

In the past calendar year, Cameron Boozer earned Gatorade National Player of the Year, MaxPreps National Player of the Year, and was a finalist for the Naismith National Player of the Year honors. 

… And Winning

Along with all the individual awards, Cameron Boozer also won a lot of games. His Miami (FL) Christopher Columbus High won a Florida Class 7A State Championship this season, their second in consecutive years. He also won Nike’s EYBL E16 Peach Jam Championship, also for the second consecutive year. 

Since entering the ninth grade, Boozer has played two high school seasons and two Nike EYBL Circuit seasons, and he has four championships to his name. He also won a gold medal this summer with USA Basketball in the FIBA U16 Americas Championships. Boozer was the MVP. 

Elite Boozer Bloodlines

Cameron Boozer is the son of former NBA All-Star and two-time USA Basketball gold medalist Carlos Boozer

Carlos Boozer was a second-round NBA Draft, No. 35 overall in 2002, to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played in the league for 13 years with Cleveland, Utah, Chicago, and the Lakers. He made eight playoffs. In his career, Boozer averaged 16.2 points and 9.5 rebounds. Those numbers rose to 17.1 points and 11.1 rebounds in 83 career playoff games. 

Cameron’s twin brother Cayden Boozer, a point guard, is also a top 15 ranked player in the 2025 class. 

Projecting Boozer Moving Forward

There is no denying the skill set that Cameron Boozer has. That skill base and his even-keeled approach have led to consistent production at the highest levels. He plays with a great base, always on balance, and is never rushed. His footwork gets him to his spots, and plays efficiently, within one and two dribbles understanding where his areas of the floor are where he does his most damage. 

Boozer has a naturally strong frame, with broad shoulders and long arms. He also has huge hands that help control the ball. He is able to absorb contact in the half-court and finish plays. Boozer is an excellent area rebounder, doing his work ahead of time and using his base strength to establish positioning and his huge hands to secure rebounds in his area. 

As it stands, Boozer is about 6-foot-8, pushing 6-foot-9. He is a good straight-line athlete but lacks elite burst. He has good touch and can knock down a set shot when his feet are set and calmly steps up to knock down his free throws. Defensively, Boozer understands angles and has good footwork. While you do not want him guarding on an island, he understands team defense and rotations. Also, he is not a rim protector; but he uses good positioning around the basket. 

Perhaps Boozer’s best quality is his competitiveness. While his demeanor does not change, he does not get too high or too low; he battles from start to finish, taking the contact and making the play.
