Despite Cameron Boozer's brilliance, he's seemingly been disqualified by many for #1 pick consideration. His exclusion is fueled by misconceptions about his game, which I attempt to debunk.
legit draft analysts need to get off twitter. It’s because Cameron dosent look like a “deep bag” idiot basketball player. He’s not as aesthetically pleasing, and on twitter that MEANS everything to “hoop” fans. Twitter users are the same people who say cam Thomas is a winning player, bones hyland deserves more minutes, AJ Dybantsa is Rj Barett, that Kobe is a top 5 player of all time. It’s just full of nonsense.
The four-factor chart is brutally effective. Aesthetic bias is real and its weird how people treat "doesnt look like a star" as legitimate scouting when its just vibes. The play-type versatility angle is underrated too, like being able to switch contexts mid-game is probably more valuable than having one elite skill that needs the system built around it. Seen that dynamic play out alot with roster construction.
The play-type versatility is literally unlike anyone I’ve ever seen I think. Being able to score in that many ways is crazy and somehow he still gets the “just a bruiser” label. It also makes me believe he’s going to be clean cuts next to other stars

This is excellent. Great work!
Thank you!
