Boozer had a great college pedigree from his days at Duke when he came into the NBA. Despite slipping all the way to the second round of the 2002 NBA Draft, Boozer showed his value and came out like gangbusters, proving a lot of teams wrong for passing on him. After two very promising seasons at Cleveland with the Cavaliers, Boozer signed a deal to play with the Utah Jazz. However, prior to that, it was all but a done deal that Boozer would re-sign with the Cavs. Only he didn't. Boozer has since caught the ire of Cavs fans everywhere, but hasn't let it get in the way of his play, recently making the NBA All-Star team.
