The difference between the two, Boozer boxes out to rebound, Millsap hustles to rebound. You can tell by the number of offensive rebounds each gets. Boozer would get 8-9 Defensive, 1-2 offensive. Millsap gets 5-6 defensive, 4-5 offensive.
Fundamentals > Hustle
Boozer boxes out to rebound? Hell yeahhhh... He tries to outjump his opponents. He is so concerned with getting the rebounds all by himself that one can remeber hundreads of posessions in which Carlos pushes even his teammates to get that uncontested rebounds. Boozer has a knack for ball and is strong, gets to the proper position and when he is on the floor, the Jazz would get "net" rebounds leading to quick transition offense. That was crucial, "net" rebounds. However, I completely disagree on the idea that Boozer boxes out well.
Paul Millsap and Big Al upfront has been a disaster on rebounds. They should play to their strengths they are not the strongest players on the court, they will not get the advantage in physical contacts and they are not that long. BOX OUT guys...
