The NBA legacy and Sporting News Player of the Year has shined during his one-and-done college season. But all of his basketball accomplishments might be secondary to what he’s done in the classroom. Boozer graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Fla. with a 4.88 GPA, which is one of the highest marks set by a student-athlete. It also rivals the 4.86 GPA mark Fernando Mendoza set at CCHS years earlier.
Hard to believe two of the best athletes coming out of college in the same year are from the same prep school.
Boozer is currently competing in the NBA Combine and looks to secure his position on the big board. He averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in 38 games at Duke. What makes his season impressive is Boozer has at least 13 points, five rebounds and two assists in every game, the longest such streak by any Division I player (men’s or women’s) since 2000.
