2011 CelticsBlog Draft Board

[Roy H.]

My defense, his numbers dropped a bit in the regular season due to taking the second option role, injury (lowered his averages), and the emergence of Rose. He still put up 18 and 10. As for the play-offs, some was role, all the Bulls deferred to Rose, some was poor play but let's not forget he rebounded well despite some poor offensive games (something that's happened even to KG) and he did have some excellent scoring games versus both Atlanta and Miami.

Boozer's primary issues last year were injuries.  He was injured early, and was injured late.  It's no surprise, then, that his best months were in the middle of the season. 

Also, like I argued to no avail last year, Carlos Boozer is actually a decent defender at center.  That's why, career-wise, he's looked good even when matched up against Howard and Yao.  When he gets to muscle other players, he excels.  It's only when he plays against mobile power fowards that his defense becomes inferior.

A 20/10 guy who is capable of leading the league in FG% is pretty good value in the early second, in my mind.  Again, he's going to struggle on defense at PF, but so will Amare, Love, and a whole host of other guys taken before him.

So, Boozer would get owned by Bargnani?

No, Boozer is perfectly capable of standing on the perimeter with his arms in the air.

But he's not capable of playing effective team defense or capable of recovering to his check when he is matched up against a stretch four.

Anything else OLD news

In this shot, Monta and Deron are actually on the same team and Monta is trying to steal the ball back from Deron.

H2H, Monta = 16 pts/game, 40%. I was not expecting that.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Defensively, Bargnani will be a victim against anyone with average to above average quickness at his position. Against slow PFs or PFs with limited offensive range, he'll be an effective individual defender. He'll also be a consistently abysmal help defender + his inability to defend his position adequately will lead to an increased number of situations where Dwight Howard can find himself in foul trouble.
