After dominating his competition at every level he's competed at, it still seems like theres a consensus on a suppressed ceiling for Cameron Boozer...one in which I comfortably sit in the minority on. Yes, maybe he doesn't have this Feline-like vertical pop, or the lateral movement that would confuse him as a dual-sport athlete in Bachata, but a persistence that mitigates many of his weaknesses truly exists. The immediate focal point recognition on outlet passes and lobs,  the spatial awareness to divvy up elite paint presence with exceptional perimeter ability, and a machine-like footwork that patches up any false start he has on drives, labeling Boozer as just "brute force" really undersells such a proficient game. 

PROS

  • Elite court processer
  • Professional strength & positioning
  • "Hub" upside
  • Advanced footwork & upper body engagement allows him to make up for lack of vertical pop
  • Experienced Inside/Outside game

CONS

  • Doesn't posses traditional athletic pop
  • Lack of midrange faceup volume could force defenses to run him off the line
  • Defensive versatility is questionable
  • Can rack up turnovers when crowded on dribbles
  • Rim protection questions his ability at the 5 even in small ball lineups
