Carlos Austin Boozer, Jr. (born November 20, 1981 in Juneau, Alaska) currently plays professional basketball for the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association. He played collegiately for Duke University, helping the team win the 2001 NCAA basketball tournament. He declared for the 2002 NBA Draft, giving up his final year of NCAA eligibility. Boozer was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the NBA draft. He signed with the Utah Jazz in 2004 as a restricted free agent for roughly 6 years and a total of $70 million. Boozer's signing with the Jazz was highly controversial since he was allowed to become a restricted free agent by the Cavaliers who could have kept him under contract for only $695,000. The Cavs (and Boozer) felt he was worth more, and so Cleveland let him become a restricted free agent to pay him what they knew he was worth.
Boozer was selected as a member of the 2004 USA Olympics basketball team.
