6. Carlos Boozer – 19.3 PPG

Carlos Boozer is often remembered most for his time in Chicago under Tom Thibodeau, but in Utah, he was a double-double machine alongside Deron Williams, en route to representing the Jazz at two All-Star games during his six year stretch with the team. Boozer was solid out of the post and had a dependable mid range shot, and led an impressive Jazz team, that unfortunately kept running into Kobe Bryant and the Lakers (stop me if you’ve heard that before, Jazz fans).

Boozer’s best career year came in 2008 when he made the All-NBA team, averaging 21 PPG and 10 RPG, but it was his whopping 55% shooting from the field that should wow NBA fans, and it was a Jazz career that deserves much more respect than it gets. Sure, the Boozer/Williams combo never made it to the Finals due to the Lakers dominant reign, but as a power forward, there were few in the same class as Boozer during his 2005-2010 tenure in Salt Lake City.
