The Memphis Grizzlies are off to a blazing 3-0 start, their best since 2017-18, and it’s all thanks to rookie sensation Cameron Boozer, the No. 3 pick in this year’s NBA Draft. He’s been putting the league on notice, but here’s the kicker: we still don’t have his full stat line from the last game, and that’s just wild considering the impact he’s making.
Boozer’s Early Season Domination
Boozer already showed out against the Golden State Warriors on October 23rd in just his third game, letting everyone know he’s for real. Then, just two days later, he was a huge factor in the Grizzlies’ 123-112 win over the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center on October 25th. This kid is proving exactly why he was taken so high, constantly showing up in big moments and playing a massive role in their perfect record to start the season. The crazy thing is, despite the hype and his clear impact, the specific point total from his performance against the Kings hasn’t been widely shared.
Making History for Memphis (and the Boards)
This 3-0 start for Memphis is a big deal, the kind of momentum that can shape an entire season, and it’s the first time they’ve done it since 2017-18. A huge part of that success? Boozer’s work on the glass. He has racked up double-digit rebounds in *all three* of their wins so far. And if that’s not enough, he’s secured a double-double in both of the last two games. That kind of consistent effort and production, especially from a rookie, is exactly what you want to see. It’s a shame we don’t have every single number from that Kings game, because you know he dropped some serious buckets alongside those boards.
The Grizzlies don’t have much time to celebrate this hot start. They’re back on the court for a short turnaround tonight, October 26th, against the Utah Jazz at 8 p.m. CT (DAZN-MEM). All eyes will be on Boozer to see if he can keep this incredible run going and hopefully, this time, we’ll get the full box score for everyone to dissect!
