This however is a crazy take to be disappointed in taking him I think he’s gonna be a great player I just don’t think he wins a championship as your best player

I mean, any #1 option needs a ton of strong defenders around him. SGA isn't winning rings without a strong defense around him. That's just kind of how you have to build in the NBA.
SGA also doesn’t play a position that demands he be a great defender. SGA is also a good defender.

Here's what I don't understand:
What we're trying to draft this year is a future #1 option on a contending team. A guy who can put a team on his back and make something out of nothing in crunch time.
As long as Lauri has been here, people have been saying "He's great, but he can't be your #1 guy if you're going for a championship". That's probably true... but if Lauri isn't that guy, then Boozer really isn't that guy.
You're deluding yourself if you think Cam is going to be a franchise player in the NBA. He can be a building block sure. But then you have to call it like it is. You're drafting a basic building block in the Top 3.

We don't know that Boozer is a bad defender. He's a great rebounder and gets a ton of steals.

This is true but it gets so much more exposed when it’s a big man rather than a guard
Kat lead teams including Ants rookie year
2015-2016: 29-53
2016-2017: 31-51
2017-2018: 47-35
2018-2019: 36-46
2020-2021: 19-45
Only one of these teams was slightly above average and I think KAT is about as good as Boozer gets in the NBA tbh he’s an AMAZING second option don’t get me wrong this isn’t me trying to hate on him he’s just not a number one guy
All that being said I would be ecstatic to end up with boozer over anyone not in my top 3 I think boozer has the highest floor of anyone not named Darryn Peterson I just think those three guys have more potential to become bonafide number 1 options on a winning team

One thing is for sure: you're gonna be trying to hide Boozer in your NBA defense. At his height and nonexistent vertical, he should be guarding 3's and 4's in the league.
He can't guard those positions any more than he can guard NBA centers.
Let's stop falling in love with these tweeners.

If you put Boozer in OKC'z defense in place of Hartenstein they'd still be an elite defense

You could put Flip in place of Hartenstien and OKC would still be an elite defense

No, Flip doesn't have the processing power on defense that Boozer has.
