No. 5 Chris Bosh

Total PF rating: 29.7

Ever since being drafted by the Toronto Raptors in 2003, Bosh has always been amongst the top players at power forward. But once he was able to extend his range out to the three-point line when he joined forces with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, his value increased significantly.

In the ‘life without LeBron era,’ the Heat are doing very well as they sit in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 21-14 record–only four games behind the first-place Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although Bosh isn’t having the greatest year of his career numbers-wise, he is still leading the Heat in scoring and remains the go-to player offensively followed by Wade. Since Christmas when Bosh had a 30-point performance in a win over New Orleans, he has been playing exceedingly well–scoring over 20 points in six of the seven games.

Bosh is coming off missing the second-half of last season as he dealt with blot clots in his lungs. Before this season began, he would tell the media that he was ready to go, but that injury is so unpredictable that many were unsure if Bosh would return to the court and be as productive as is currently is.
