I don't think it's fair that no one can have an intelligent discussion about Josh Boone on this site.

I'm glad he's on the team now, but I wouldn't be eager to lock him up in a big money long term deal. </div> This is a great point here. Boone's extremely injury prone. Both offseasons, he's had injuries. That makes me really nervous.
Sometimes it's easy to forget how good he was in 2004-2005 while at UConn. He was Big East DPOY. He's athletic, a solid defensive player, does all the dirty work for lack of a better term to make us a better team. We haven't had players like Josh Boone or Sean Williams for a while now, so it's very refreshing to see them both out on the floor. And when Krstic comes back 100 percent it's going to be even better, even if Boone was to be relegated back to the bench, he would only bolster our second unit, making him even more of a keeper. The only thing I'm concerned about is how sometimes in college and his rookie year he would get so down on himself it would affect him out on the court. That and the injuries. Otherwise, I'm very high on him.
He still needs to learn to catch a damn pass. He has improved in this aspect of the game, but he still screws up a pass at least 3 times a game (granted 1-2 of those passes are from Kidd, so they may be a little unexpected). Also, there was a play yesterday where he made a great effort to get a defensive rebound by tipping the ball to himself. Only problem was, he couldn't catch his own tip, and the ball ended up going out of bounds, giving the Pistons another possession. Overall, though, he's improved his game drastically from last year. A lot more active, and a lot more confident (disregarding the free throw line).

Boone gives the Nets legit size and works well w/ a healthy Krstic and "The Big Three." He's showing a lot of improvements, but he needs to bulk up a bit more and stay confident.
