Bozzer got a lot of flack, why doesn't big al?

On what planet, and on what Jazz board, does Big Al get some sort of free pass? Do you even read the posts here Dutch?

Boozer vs. Jefferson based on my own eye test (needs numbers)

Defense- Jefferson (Both bad. Jefferson has height advantage. Can be argued)
Jumpers- Boozer
PnR offense- Boozer
Post up- Jefferson
Passing- Boozer
Rebounding- Tie (Arguable)
Clutch- Tie
Personality- Jefferson
Availability (Injuries) - Jefferson
Team Offense Flow- Boozer
Transition Offense- Beats me...
Transition Defense- Beats me...

Based on my own list which probably needs adding to, they're about the same. I like Jefferson better mostly cause Boozer seemed like a numbers player.
Remember, Boozer did have Deron on the team and Deron was pretty amazing back then. Yes, Jefferson and Deron were on the same team but they don't compliment each other the same way plus Deron was trending down due to his wrist.

good post bro. i disagree on some things mainly because i think boozer looks better on some things like team offense flow due to great PGs like DWill and DRose.
i also think BIG AL is underrated in that you can RUN an offense through him. Boozer is more of a guy that plays off a shot creator.
also boozer is a lazy player while BIG AL is a worker. I think BIG AL is also more versatile because he can play 5 and 4 while boozer is pretty much a 4.

What the hell? Is this a good post from you?
Good ideas, I forgot about versatility and go-to option.

wow?
really you think boozer is lazy?
while big al is not?
imho boozer hustles more for rebounds, but the rest of his game he is lazy.
while big al is overal lazy, except for the occasional block

i mean jefferson defense is just as worse if not worse than bozzer.
imho when bozzer was here his offense was better, although i think bozzers offense was better because of the offensive system in place.
which seems to lack with ty corbin now.

people hated bozzer for his defense, and bozzer was a better rebounder.

but why did jf hate on bozzer. but the jefferson hate doesnt seem so worse?
is it because bozzer had a lot of missed games? the irony is sometimes i just wish jefferson would miss games.


so please people stop having a double standard if you hated BOZZER, step up hate on jefferson.

also note by hate i do not mean hate the person, jefferson is a nice guy, if not the nicest guy in the nba personality wise.
but what i mean hate is him as a basketball player.

I don't know where you have been but AJ gets plenty of criticism for his defense. Go back and read the board. People are hammering on Jefferson all the time for being a black hole and his poor defensive energy and rotations.
