It’s still preseason in the NBA – the regular season doesn’t start until Tuesday – but former Blue Devil Cameron Boozer has made an impression on many people, not least of all, former All-Star and NBA Champion Kevin Garnett.

Obviously, Garnett knows what he’s talking about, and he has nice things to say about Boozer. Check it out:

“I like him, I like him. 

“He is really polished. And he plays defense too… 

“He is going to be in (Rookie of the Year talks). He got the most give, he got the most – I can get away with anything any night – he can mess up and still (produce). 

“He gonna be 20/10. 

“He got a little Jokic in his game. He is a little more athletic, he will dunk you. The high-post where he can make decisions.

“He nice, I like him. He got a high IQ too. Shout out to Boozer.”

For people who were sure that Boozer wasn’t athletic enough, there’s a pretty good indication that you might be wrong.
