The new starting power forward for the Lakers has earned his spot. Over the past three weeks, he has shown more energy and better offensive aggression. The Lakers need a post presence severely. Boozer has played a few times in the post area, but not to his All-Star effectiveness. However, his mid-range jumpshot looks very consistent on the floor. He’s very comfortable with it, and it will be a weapon in pick-and-pop situations in the future.
