Carlos Boozer expected to join Utah Jazz as a scout

According to Michael Scotto, the Utah Jazz are expected to bring Carlos Boozer into the organization as a scout.

From HoopsHype:

In other news, former two-time Jazz All-Star forward Carlos Boozer is with the team here at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago and is expected to join the organization as a scout, league sources told HoopsHype.

This is a fun move by the Jazz to have Boozer close to the organization. But it’s also a smart idea, Boozer should bring great insight with the different big men the Jazz might bring in. The other obvious wrinkle to this is the fact that Boozer’s son, Cam Boozer, will very likely be a top-3 pick in the draft next season. The fact that Boozer is happy to join the Jazz and be in Utah, bodes well for the future of Cam Boozer potentially being in Utah.

It’s very likely that Utah will be in a similar spot in the lottery next season, and I hope the Jazz get a Boozer AND 1!!! and bring Cam Boozer into the organization next year as the star they’ve been waiting for. This is looking like the beginning of a really fun story.

In case you haven’t seen Cam Boozer play, here are some of his highlights:
