Carlos Boozer has certainly been an easy person to have a lot of contempt for if you're a Jazz fan. His propensity to play in 70% of games, combined with his lackluster defensive effort that leaves a lot to be desired, has a lot of fans calling for his head. Maybe we shouldn't make that declaration so fast. Do we really want Paul Millsap in the production spot of the Jerry Sloan four-feeding offense? There is really zero debate as to who is the more effective offensive presence: a chiseled post-specialist who can finish equally well with either hand, and who has a reliable mid-range shot, or an undersized power forward who will get the dirty work done on both ends, but whose inability to shoot outside of four feet make him basically ineligible for the high pick-and-roll game?
Also, Siler and Luhm have an excellent post regarding GM accounting in the NBA that ought to change anyone who values the Jazz as a team and contender more than they dislike Boozer.
