Carlos Boozer

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.
