2003 NBA Draft Thoughts

Can Chris Bosh hold is own in the NBA

If Chris Bosh were playing in the Western Conference I would say he would be in trouble but in the weaker Eastern Conference he should be able to develop into a solid starting forward over the next year or two.

He has drawn many comparison to Kevin Garnett because of his thin wirey body and types of skills he possesses. Bosh will be quicker than many of the power forwards he will be playing against but lacks the strength to bang around with most of them. Luckily Bosh's game isn't built on post up moves. He has a great outside shooting touch for a 6-10 guy and can snake through the lane to get some easy baskets. He shot a very high percentage his freshman year of college so he either padded his shooting stats against weaker college players or was smart with the shots he took.

Defensively he is a great shot blocker. He has very long arms and has the quickness to sneak up on people and get some good blocks. For his size he is also a good rebounder. He will struggle trying to guard the bigger stronger power forwards in the league like Karl Malone, Chris Webber, Tim Duncan, Rasheed Wallace, etc. Luckily he is playing in the East and won't have to face those guys too often.

Another struggle Chris Bosh will have is getting the trust of his team. Vince Carter has already said he wishes the team traded the pick for a veteran because the team needs experience to win now and Carter doesn't want to wait for a young player to develop. I would think that Bosh will be a starter right away because the team really doesn't have much talent besides Carter. Even with a solid veteran I don't think the Raptors would be any good anyway so why not start Bosh and build for a year or two down the road?

Bosh won't be an All-Star right away but should be able to average respectable numbers for a rookie. I could see Bosh getting 12 points, 6 boards, and 2 block per night which should get him near the all-rookie first team.
