Who's better currently: Pau Gasol or Carlos Boozer

[BallsOut]

Defense
Neither player can play good man defense or pick n roll defense or protect the rim. Both are still great rebounders.

Offense
Gasol has spent the last two seasons being a jumpshooter under D'Antoni, rarely spending time in the paint. Boozer has always been a decent midrange jumpshooter in his career. Gasol is the better post player and Boozer the better bruiser. Gasol is still a very good passer. Boozer not so much. Both players are top 2 in the league at screaming after layup shot attempts with marginal/no contact

Gasol: 31.4 min, 17.4 pts, 9.7 rbs, 3.4 asts, 2.4 to, 48% FG, 74% FT
Boozer: 28.2 min, 13.7 pts, 8.3 rbs, 1.6 asts, 2.0 to, 46% FG, 77% FT

Gasol is 34 and has played 14 seasons in the league.
Boozer is 32 and has played 12 seasons in the league.

Theyre both not productive at all anymore.

It should still be Pau Gasol.

Boozer is making 16.8 million. The Bulls are just paying majority of that.

That alone should tell you who is better. Chicago is paying Boozer 13 million to play for another team.

Boozer is straight up garbage on the defensive end of the floor, and is pretty one dimensional on the other at this point in his career. He's a good rebounder and a good passing big though, but he sucks so bad on defense. Seriously it's like playing 4 on 5, he's that bad.

Pau isn't really that great either, but at least he's 7 feet tall and will block a shot every now and then. He's way more versatile on the offensive end, and is even a better passer than Boozer is.

Seriously, this isn't a question.

I only like boozer because of his energy he brings off the bench when the theyre in timeout. Boozers more of an hype man but he brings nothing defensively where as pau, he brings some some defense and offense. Pau also has good length and good passing abilities, hell pair up with noah real well

I dunno who is worse defensively overall.. Boozer or Al Jefferson.. hahah

[GimmeThat]

Boozer has a pretty good release
Gasol can efficiently eat up the shot clock for you without turning the ball over so your team gets to move around and create the right spacing.
