Josh Smith yes.
Al Horford yes.
KG yes.
Bosh yes.
Amare? No. I mean I can admit, Boozer sucks. Amare is worse. They are equally as terrible on defense. Maybe we can call them even on rebounding but who would you trust more to score a basket in isolation or on the pick and roll? The answer is Boozer, especially considering we don't know what Amare is anymore.

Clev-Thompson looks ok but no
Milw-? they have a bunch of 4's but none are better
Indy-DWest was better, but not anymore
Miami-Haslem-no
Wash-Okafor starts at the 4 I believe, so no
Atl-Jsmith-maybe-this one is close
Orl-BBD-no
Char-who is their 4?
Bos-Bass-no
Phily-Young-no
tor-Bargs-no
NJ-Humphries-no
NY-Melo for now, so yes. Amare-no
So, is it possible that Boozer, one of the most hated on players in the league, is the best 4 in the East?

He's not even the best 4 on his team. Taj is better. Also:
Mil - Illysoava is better when he's makes some shots, as he has recently though obviously not at the beginning of the year
Clev - no
Det - no
Indy - West is clearly better at offense + defense
Bos - no
Philly - yes, Thad Young is surprisingly effective
Tor - no
NYK - yes, Melo
BK - no
Miami - LeBron mostly plays PF, so obviously yes
Wash - Nene, when healthy, is better (Okafor is a center). Nene's missed a lot of time though
Atlanta - Smith is far, far better
Orlando - no
Char - no
So 5 better PF's, with 2 more likely better with a return to health/form (Nene and Illyxova) + his own backup.
