Peach Jam: Cooper Flagg vs. Cameron Boozer, who is No. 1?
This will be the topic of conversation until the 2025 class graduates. Cooper Flagg is an explosive 6-foot-8 wing from Maine. Cameron Boozer is a skilled 6-foot-8 forward from Florida. Nike’s Peach Jam brought us the matchup head-to-head on Friday.
On3 ranks both players in the top three among current high school players – not just players in their class, but overall. This will be the topic of conversation for the next three years. By my count, 97 college coaches and NBA scouts were sitting courtside to take in the matchup. The court seating was at capacity with fans.

The setting
Flagg and Boozer brought so much anticipation to Peach Jam that Nike had to move the game to the biggest court in the facility. There were so many fans wanting to watch this pair of 15-year-old stars play, that they had to shut the doors with capacity. It was a one-person-in and one-person-out situation.
At the end of the day, Boozer’s Nightrydas team was too much for Flagg’s Maine United squad. Nightrydas won 79-36. Cooper Flagg finished with 13-points and 7-rebounds. Cameron Boozer had 20-points and 12-rebounds.
Round one goes to Boozer.
