​Recent Duke star Cameron Boozer has received admiration throughout the NBA since being drafted No. 3 overall by the Memphis Grizzlies. Boozer’s strong summer league performances have helped that; however, his winning mentality has always been the factor that’s set him apart from other prospects.A two-time NBA All-Star and a top-five finisher in MVP voting, Isaiah Thomas recently spoke about Boozer’s winning mindset, saying, “The most important thing about Cam Boozer is his winning impact. He’s going to make that team and the players around him so much better because he does things that aren’t always on the stat sheet.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThomas also offered two comparisons for Boozer, as he’s seen similarities between the Blue Devil forward and some of his former teammates, Al Horford and Paul Milsap. Considering the duo have nine All-Star selections and 35 years of NBA experience between the two of them, a career similar to those of Horford and Milsap would be a great place to start, but Boozer is certain to have his sights set on even more accolades.This article originally appeared on Duke Wire: Cameron Boozer receives praise from former two-time NBA All-Star
