Five star forward Cameron Boozer was named TISSOT Most Valuable Player of the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup 2024 after helping the United States to the championship.
Boozer had 24 points and 13 rebounds in USA’s 129-88 victory over Italy in the Final. For the tournament, Boozer averaged 20.1 points, 9.9 rebounds 2.0 assists and 2.7 steals.
The 6-foot-9, 235-pound forward is a five-star recruit who ranks No. 2 overall on the 247sports 2025 composite rankings.
He also earned the following praise from ESPN’s Paul Biancardi on social media:
Impressed but not surprised that Cameron Boozer was named MVP. 24 points and 13 rebounds in the championship game…Scored inside-out with great hands, touch, footwork and angles. The most consistent and productive player in high school basketball who impacts winning.
His twin brother Cayden Boozer was also on this historic team and his father is former Duke Blue Devil, and former NBA all-star, Carlos Boozer.
Cameron will likely sign with Duke with his twin brother but there is an outside chance that Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, Miami and Florida State could land the top recruit.
