    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A tumultuous and disappointing 2004-05 behind him, Utah Jazz power forward Carlos Boozer indicated on Monday at Jazz media day that he's going to get it right for 2005-06.
    "I just want to take it to a new level. I want to be part of that elite power forward group, and that's what I'm looking toward," he said, adding that he sees his own role on this team that began preseason workouts today in Boise as "Huge."
    "We've got to go to the playoffs, man," he said of his motivation.
    He added that fans will see a "totally different" Boozer now. "Absolutely."
    "I want to be one of those guys everybody can look up to in times of need and come through for them," Boozer said after spending summer getting into the kind of shape that might make such a presence possible.
    "That's the role I want to assume. When you're in the trenches and need somebody to help you get out of it ? I want to be that person," Boozer said.</div>
