Poor Carlos Boozer.
Good, but not the player everyone wants him to be.
There's no denying Boozer can produce numbers. His 17-point, 10-rebound career has proven that. But he's not a superstar. Just another very good player.
We knew that when he was in Utah and said so. Deseretnews.com But after one season in Chicago, he's already being harshly criticized. After the Bulls fell in the playoffs, the Chicago Sun-Times offered this dim view of Boozer's contribution.
Meanwhile, Boozer bought a place in South Beach for the second time. But even business publications are getting snarky about his contribution to the Bulls.
Fact is, Boozer is a steady player who can produce numbers but will seldom put a team on his shoulders. Live with it, Chicago. Or whoever gets him in the end. He'll be relaxing on the beach.
