Are Boozer and Millsap the best PF combo in the NBA? 

Post#1 » by The Sheik » Thu Jan 3, 2008 10:20 pm

There was a loud and lively discussion going on in the Jazz locker room after the game. Carlos Boozer specifically was wondering whether there was a power forward combination in the league putting up numbers as impressive as him and Paul Millsap.

Boozer's averaging 24 points and 11.4 rebounds and Millsap 8.8 points and 5.9 rebounds after Wednesday's game. That's a combined 32.8 points and 17.3 rebounds. Boozer asked if I could think of another two and after a moment I countered with Zach Randolph and David Lee on the Knicks.

As it turns out, Randolph and Lee are averaging 28.3 points and 18.1 rebounds. Fewer points but more rebounds. I scanned the NBA depth charts looking for another combo to run and couldn't find one. This is sure to make Boozer happy.

hmm lets think for a second, nope went through all the teams and cant think of anyone, yeah Lee and zach are probably the closest but what coach is going to fear Zach over Boozer?

Also minny's Al jefferson(might be played at center not sure) and craig smith arent bad combining for 31.6 and 17.1

I think you'd have to say that they are, and not just statistically. Other good combos are Randolph and Lee, Jefferson and Smith, Nowitzki and Bass, Marion and Diaw (if you consider them PF's, Brand (when healthy) and Thomas and Bosh and Bargnani (I'm not sure how much he does play PF, but he certainly can play it.)
