Cavaliers draft Boozer from Alaska in 2002 NBA draft
The Cavaliers select Duke forward Carlos Boozer, 6-9 and 280 pounds from Juneau Alaska with the 35th pick. Boozer, who helped Duke win the 2001 NCAA title, averages 18.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per season, but his move from college center to NBA power forward raises questions. The pick marks a departure from a prior draft choice made in 1999 and comes as the Cavs pass on Sam Clancy and fellow prospects amid internal expectations for future contention.
