Which is fair. But the big difference is that Luka was an elite creator. I think he took just as much hit from being European as from limited athleticism. Boozer is an elite post player and rebounder and a great overall player, but he does not have the same creation upside as Luka did (or even some of the guys in his draft class like Peterson and Dybantsa).
