I don't agree. My current take is that West is much, much better outside shooter than Boozer. West is also effective in the paint. West is a better defender than Boozer (who isn't?).

Advantage West.

The fact that people got offended and snarky at your question shows what a jackass you are.

It was a silly comment, and deserved nothing more than to be treated with disdain.

In response to Indy, West is a good player that has gotten better each year. He will continue to be good...he is a much better defender than Boozer is...while as of now, Boozer is the better offensive player.

If West and Paul stay in NO, and Booz and Deron stay in Utah...that will be quite a rivalry for years to come.

Williams is strong, but Paul is spectacular.

If you combined Gary Payton, Allen Iverson, and John Stockton, you get Chris Paul.

So quite your day job and become an NBA GM. You could make a killing if you really knew that on draft day.

MikeWaters · 05-05-2008, 05:55 PM

actually the Jazz have an excellent GM.

To get rid of Giricek and get Korver and a 1st rounder, that's genius.

You look at the quality of the Jazz roster, and then their low salaries, you know he is good.

I'm curious to know if Paul could have been as effective in Sloan's system.

Williams is. That's really all that matters.

Advantage West.

The only thing Boozer has on West is a jump shot. Advantage is definitely West. Better defender, more athletic and can take it to the rim much better than Boozer can. The jumper will come with time.

Not based on my observation during the playoffs. Boozer way off. West, money.
