Not forgetting to consider defense, who is the better basketball player?

Boozer

Boozer by lots.

Boozer

Buezer.... granting for his germaness.

Boozer, how is this even close? Boozer has been doing this for a few years now. This is David West's first year. You never know what will happen next year. It's Boozer, Boozer is a franchise player.

I don't think West's edge on the defensive end is enough to overcome Boozer's offense, rebounding and underrated passing ability.

IMO West is more of a perimeter PF. He's kind of a tweener and while he's talented. I much prefer what Boozer brings in his ability to be a load down low. So give me Boozer.

He's not, he posts up very well actually.

But while West is definitely superior as a man-on defender, neither are very good help defenders and Boozer is a noticeably superior rebounder and passer.

boozer is better, altho i thought it would be easier to say that until i really compared them. lol west is pretty good, can post, face up, hit the mid-range and is decent on d and shot-clocking. boozer is basically the same thing on o, but i feel his drive and finish game is a bit better. Boozer can finish with right or left, either hand, and with finesse or power. great jumper (shot i mean), and i think he posts up a little better than west, and is a better passer (hes slightly underrated here). His d is decent, as he can be physical. I take boozer.

o yea, plus boozer rebounds better. lol forgot that.
