12 Jan
Summary
- Freshman Cayden Boozer is becoming vital to Duke's rotation.
- Boozer has increased his scoring and assists in recent games.
- Coach Scheyer praised Boozer for steadying the team.
Duke's men's basketball team, now 15-1 overall and 4-0 in conference play, is seeing significant growth from freshman point guard Cayden Boozer. Initially a question mark for the team's depth at the position, Boozer has steadily integrated into the rotation, becoming an increasingly vital piece.
Over Duke's last four contests, Boozer has averaged 7.5 points and 3.8 assists while shooting 43.5% from the field. His impact extends beyond statistics, as he effectively manages the game's tempo and stabilizes the offense during crucial moments. This consistent improvement has earned him praise from head coach Jon Scheyer.
Following a recent victory where Boozer contributed 12 points and four assists, Scheyer commended the freshman for his poise and ability to steady the team. Boozer's development provides a crucial complement to veteran point guard Cale Foster, solidifying Duke's backcourt as the season progresses.
