Maxed Out: Chris Bosh’s Potential « HoopsAddict.com
Here’s my real problem: Bosh can’t hang with the very best at his position in the NBA. Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, Amare Stoudemire, Tim Duncan, or Jermaine O’Neal. I don’t feel comfortable watching CB4 go head-to-head with any of those guys. The young man is very good, but he sure isn’t great yet. I think Bosh is more on the level with guys like Pau Gasol and Rasheed Wallace. He has some moves in the post, but they don’t look polished. He has a nice jumper, but it isn’t exactly fantastic. He has a defensive presence, but he isn’t dominant.
Michael Grange put it best in his blog this morning: “Carlos Boozer (25.0 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 50.6% fg): If the Raptors offered the Jazz Chris Bosh for Carlos Boozer, there is a 0% chance Kevin O’Connor would make the deal. Sad sad sad.” Sad, indeed, Michael.

Been saying this for years. Bosh is only going to be an elite player if he refuses to settle… instead, he plays tenacious defense and continues to go to the hoop instead of settling for 15 foot jump shots.
