00:00yeah so uh boozer uh the very talented uh freshman uh coming out of duke you know he
00:05and his brother at duke had that great run obviously came up just short of winning a
00:09championship their dad of course carlos boozer uh who had a great nba career a year ago got a job
00:16with the utah jazz yeah and i think he's actually in both player development and some scouting for
00:22them as well yeah but obviously he was a really good player himself he's got two really special
00:26kids who uh are in uh you know a college basketball now the nba because one of the kids stayed
00:31at duke
00:31uh the other kid of course was in the draft last night i think his other kid is like a
00:36world-class
00:37baseball player yeah as well yeah he was the one that had he was sick right yeah and that's why
00:42these two twins were born yes uh to save his life which is a crazy amazing story by the way
00:47but utah
00:48passed on him it made sense and i'm thinking saying again you could make the argument all day long
00:54that peterson's a better player that people maybe he's a quicker star than boozer is uh they're all
01:00legitimate nba players yes we all agree on that yes and again depending on what the needs are of utah
01:06versus yeah blah blah blah but it's just interesting like had the jazz taken boozer nobody would have
01:12been like i can't believe they took boozer because he's highly regarded as a can't miss pro prospect
01:18right yes but that's got to be an awkward dinner table conversation when you're in the room as the
01:24dad and you either know in advance we're not taking your son they know or you're the reason
01:31why they're not taking him like i don't know how i feel about that first of all go ahead listen
01:38you
01:38bring your your son into work from time to time yes i do not every dad wants to work with
01:44their son
01:45and see him every day and not every son wants to work with their dad every single day that could
01:50be a
01:50lot okay it's a business the other part is there are a lot of people that outside of those stupid
01:56his his use of creatine peterson there's people out there that are already predicting that at some
02:01point in his career early he's going to average 30 points a game and utah's best players are all
02:06fours and fives okay it makes it would not have made as much sense to have boozer there it would
02:11not
02:11have been a lot of it peterson was the right pick there okay i understand the dynamic but peterson
02:16problem again and i'm not saying he's not i think we all agreed that the first three picks in this
02:22draft um aj debansa uh obviously uh cameron boozer went third and darren peterson from kansas who went
02:29second to utah jazz but like that's my pops like that's a i'm telling you right now and i'm sure
02:37that the
02:37kid knew i'm sure the kid wasn't surprised i'm sure uh carlos told him look you got to keep this
02:43close to your vest i we're not taking you yeah i want to be very clear about it you're gonna
02:48have a
02:49great career knock on wood i'm your biggest fan you know i love you don't tell your mom but we're
02:57not
02:57taking you we're not taking you a second like i i'm sure they have a great father-son relationship
03:03and i we saw you know carlos boozer yeah at all the duke games throughout the tournament and they
03:08sat down at the draft yeah the whole family was like i hope that like that's so much fun ball
03:15busting right there like yeah son i think you're good i think you're gonna be very good in the nba
03:20not good enough for the jazz who haven't won 30 games in a decade and a half but i said
03:26i think you're
03:27good i'm proud of you son not proud enough to draft you but because you know i can't have you
03:34stealing my thunder if you start setting records uh with the utah jazz but i want to let you know
03:39the family firmly supports you that like the thanksgiving's got to be awesome in the boozer
03:45house this year no i'm not gonna see you thanksgiving i'm busy i'm working i'm not gonna see you
03:48thanksgiving i'm not coming to the house i'm not coming to the house christmas either i'm busy
