Carlos Boozer and/or Paul Millsap: Jazz Have Enviable Problem at Power Forward

But personally I like the idea of keeping both. While Boozer gets laid out by the quickest guards inside, he can still post up anyone, at any time in All-star fashion and when he decides he has had enough of getting trampled in the lane by whichever shooting guard wants to light us up, Millsap comes in right on schedule and can block two shots in six minutes.

Boozer will miss his 13th consecutive game Saturday against the Orlando Magic.

Hopefully he makes it back soon, but then again, I really don't want to be throwing stuff at my TV again while Booze gets trampled and Milly warms the bench.

It just doesn't seem fair to cut Millsap's minutes so dramatically when Booze comes back, which is what will most definitely happen.

Booze is a minutes player as we all saw in the Olympics, he needs many minutes to produce and Millsap is more productive in short spurts.

The best scenario is to keep both for the long haul but I doubt Millsap will be satisfied being Boozer's backup for his career.

Either way, whatever happens, if Boozer leaves and Millsap stays or if Boozer stays and Millsap leaves, Utah is in a good position at the power forward spot.
