Best post-up players

Saw this interesting chart. For those saying Aldridge has been playing more outside this year, Aldridge is still among the league leaders in points off postups as well as the # of postups.

Kareem, too. Like Aldridge, many considered him soft for his size, but the Sky Hook was unstoppable.

Yep, 4th in the league in # of post ups and 3rd in points off post ups.

It's funny that people used to say Aldridge's ceiling was a poor man's Chris Bosh.

# Post Ups:
LaMarcus Aldridge - 275
Chris Bosh - 93

Points off Post Ups:
LaMarcus Aldridge - 253.00
Chris Bosh - 78.12

Bosh used to be pretty sick. Now he's a glorified role player in a system that doesn't make use of his talent.

Bosh had four consecutive 22+ ppg seasons and then a 24 ppg season in his last year in Toronto. 3 seasons over 10 rpg and another over 9 rpg, which is worth mentioning because Aldridge has never cracked the 9 rpg barrier. Aldridge is close, and he doesn't play on teams as bad as Bosh's Toronto teams, but I wouldn't say he's lived up to Bosh in his hey day.

Also, Bosh is become an impact defensive player on Miami, playing C for long stretches and anchoring the defense.

I'm curious to see the numbers with Aldridge now and bosh at the same age.

How many big men post up with power anymore?

Seems griffin has a good power game. Still way far behind to get good shots, but the kid is all power.
