In the 2026 Summer League Semi Finals<\/a> against the Houston Rockets, Cam finished 2nd in the game in plus-minus, despite a poor shooting night overall, finishing with 12 points, 12 rebounds (7 OREB), a positive 5 assist-to-3-turnover ratio, along with a pair of stocks. While single game plus minus for individuals can be noisy, this stat implies Cam helps his team outscore their opponents while on the floor through things like his gravity, rebounding, and decision making, even when his shot isn’t falling.<\/p>\n

Cedric Coward showed up and showed out for Memphis in this matchup against the Rockets, exploding for 19 points in the 2nd half, finishing with 28 points overall, along with 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 three-pointers made.<\/p>\n

Boozer and Lendeborg are considered two analytics darlings in the NBA Draft community because their high impact metrics (BPM) often translate to their teams winning basketball games \u2013 welcome to The Spreadsheets Superbowl.<\/p>\n

Boozer has won every major tournament he’s ever played in until this most recent March Madness, which Lendeborg’s Michigan team won on a dominant run to the title.<\/p>\n

Both players rate Top-5 in Summer League by BPM, as of July 14th, 2026, via Logan Adams.<\/p>\n

These two big forwards impact the game in notable ways on both e ds of the floor, especially in areas like rebounding, playmaking, scoring inside, and defensive instincts.<\/p>\n

Whoever leads their team to triumph claims the Summer League throne along with eternal bragging rights as the BPM darling of the summer, and potentially of the whole draft class.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, Grizzlies fans, you can put your trust in the new hero of your story; as Cam said himself:<\/p>\n

“Do not fear, Boozer is here.”<\/a><\/p>\n
