And we always talk with the draft that you always hear, like floor, ceiling, floor, ceiling, high floor, low floor, high ceiling, lower ceiling.
And Boozer seems like he has both a high floor but also potentially a high ceiling with his IQ.
He's just going to produce.
I don't think there's variance with him.
He didn't have that little foul line jumper.
I felt like he would be bowling his way to the basket over and over again when he really wanted to get points, which he could in college.
And then the pros, you're not going to do that in the same way.
But this is the 19-year-old version of him.
When you think like, these guys, I think he has the competitiveness and the work ethic.
I think AJ has it.
I think Caleb Wilson definitely has it.

I loved heavier Kevin Love was one of my favorite rebounders of all time.

Moses had this trick where he would kind of go under the basket almost out of bounds, and then he would just back in backwards, and then he would just be next to the rim tipping it in.
Moses Barkley was incredible.
