What's new

Boozer who?

lot of millsap doubters, i was asking what games have you guys been watching? millsap continues to improve his offensive game and is ready to explode this season w/ boozer out of the picture.

I'd ask if you're simply looking at aggregate production -- either box scores, or cheering when Millsap makes a play -- rather than looking at the specifics of how that production is manufactured.

I love Millsap. But I fail to see how one can make an argument as to his ability to anchor an offense.

Boozer can do that. Jefferson can as well (better post presence low, though questionable on consistent facilitation abilities).

The cause matters at least as much as the effect, particularly when you have a team, coach and system that are looking for contending results through peak personnel.

You can make this analytical move -- I applaud it. But you can't do it without following it to the end of the line. You make no mention of defense in this post or in the other thread. When you do, the tidy little lines you've drawn and placed Boozer on one side and Millsap on the other start to look a bit more arbitrary.

I also get the sense that you might be hanging on to an old story. Millsap's offensive game is improving. There were several times in the OKC game where he created his own shot from about 15-17 feet out. He was doing this in the LAL series, too.
