The Top Five Power Forwards in Utah Jazz History
By Greg Foster
No. 2) Carlos Boozer
While this may be a sore spot for a lot of Jazz fans, there’s no denying the impact Carlos Boozer made for the Utah Jazz. You can question his dedication, heart and ability to defend, but you can’t argue that he had his best years in Salt Lake City.
As a Jazzman, Boozer was a two-time All-Star and Olympic Gold Medalist. During those six seasons he was able to put up 19.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.78 assists per contest. Those aren’t numbers one should readily scoff at.
Additionally, Boozer shouldered a hefty amount of the workload for some of the best Jazz teams since the Stockton and Malone era. The Boozer/Memo/Deron Williams period is one of the most prolific and successful in franchise history. In fact, the 2007 team is the only Jazz team to win a playoff game seven on the road—watch the highlight video above to see Boozer play the best game of his career. He was also the Jazz’s number one option on offense and best rebounder throughout his tenure.
