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.
