um me , the guy was physical , and shot way over 50% in college and rebounded like crazy for like the number one team in the nation. If you were honest about that duke team, Boozer was a winner.
same way with Brand. Brand was the meanest player i had seen around the basket since glenn robinson , and Brand outweighs Robinson by enough to make a mean streak hurt. Put a ball in the paint , Brand is quick like a bear he will grab it and be mean about putting it in the hoop. Being 6'8" doesnt stop you from being the powerforward if your that good.
People just like to hate on duke players and come up with bogus reasons "why not" too much when your better off just comparing the draft field on what you do know. Its like that guy Iugudola that philly drafted - no one knows if he will be near an allstar level , but a guy like boozer is a lock to be near an allstar level if he gets enough minutes to have his 9.? rebounds per..
however i did call out Laetner when he was a senior , and loudly booed the fact that the first (and only to that point) dream team had Laetner as its college rep , rather then the much more qualified in my opinion player Shaq. Most fans said "laetner last second shot blah blah" and never listened.
again with the duke guys you have to bury the hate
