Its Bosh, and its not even close. Even through injuries this season, he has a nice stat line.

Roy, bash is not big men in the true sense of style, hes perimeter oriented big men, and hes not exactly great defender....


Wrong. You do know he gets to the line 9 times a game right? He is a big man with an impeccable outside game. If you consider people like Amare, Dirk, Boozer, and even LaMarcus big men, then Bosh is a big man.

Roy is not a great defender either, so I dunno why you would mark Bosh down on that.

Boozer is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Bosh, or anyone else that you mentioned, as a post scorer and player.

That being said, I'd probably take Bosh over Roy but it's close. When I have more time i'll give my explanation.

Roy is a good backcourt player; a dime a dozen

Tough call. When they're close like this, you go big over small. Bosh may primarily be a face-up guy but he's still a very talented player who scores a lot at high efficiency, draws lots of fouls, rebounds pretty well and is a very good passer at his position. He can score from basically anywhere under the arc, too, which is pretty valuable.

This is tougher than normal because of the disparity in career length; Bosh is in his fifth season, Roy in his second. Bosh showed CONSIDERABLE advancement year-to-year as his career progressed and the same has been true of Roy from year one to year two, so it's very difficult to make any kind of real commentary on this comparison because of the early stage of Roy's career.

I go Bosh in the end because he's got the rebounding, DrawF and higher scoring efficiency.

I'd take Bosh, but Roy is a hell of a player. There are not too many guards I would pick over him to start a team right now.

I hate the fact that Bosh plays like a small forward and is often soft juice... But I'd still take him over Roy rather easily.

Bosh, pretty easily.

Nothin' against Roy, it's just much easier to find a quality guard than a quality PF.
