During last night's Jazz/Lakers game, JAZZSPIN.com sent this Tweet:

Boozer now has 14% of his blocks on the year against the Lakers.

So I looked at the totals: 1196 minutes played for Carlos Boozer, and 7 blocks. Absolutely baffling. So I did some research. How common is it for players of Boozer's size to play so many minutes and block so few shots?

Per basketball-reference, here's the answer to that question:

In the last 5 years, 10 different players have accomplished that feat 18 times. Based on Peja Stojakovic's and Jason Kapono's presence on the list, it's clear that we should consider positional tendencies, though. So, here's the list again, this time with "Wing" players excluded.

Both Juwan Howard and Jerome Williams were in their 30s when they made this list, making Boozer and Reggie Evans the players 6'08" or taller, in their athletic primes, to play roughly 1200 minutes in a season and block fewer than 10 shots.

There are, of course, some caveats. First, that's a lot of endpoints. Second, one need not block shots in order to be a great defender. Third, and most obviously, he's been injured this year.Nonetheless, it seems like a man of Boozer's size should be able to luck into a few blocked shots every now and again.
