These Questions were put forth in the CBS Sports magazine for each team: I will answer the Q yes or No.

Disagree? Throwdown!



Q: Bogut: Bust?
A: Lets look at the Numbers:
8.8 Reb
.5 Block
12 ppg

Can I live with a 12/9 7 foot Center? in his second year?

Will he make you forget who you could have had? No But lets look at the other Centers in the Central who are better than Him

The Z man is in year 10- and went for 11 and 7- so He's better than him.
Ben Wallance went 6 and 10- I'll take Bogut over him right now as well

The other 2 teams really don;t have a center to speak of.

Lets look at the East Centers Better than him

Shaq- Old but still better
Tyson Chandler might be better- if you count him as a center
same with Eddy Curry- but as a TRUE Center

Bogut is #2 in the East-

I'll take that-

over Marvin Williams? (2)
Raymond Felton? (5)

all day.

Not a Bust.

First:

Those are his SECOND year stats

I',m good but not even I know his third year stats

Next- thank you for agreeing with me that he is not a bust. I appreciate it

The output Bogut has done still make him a top 3 pick if the draft was redone maybe even a 2 player picked-

and how soon before Kwame was declared a bust? Or Darko?

Training camp?

Took you 5 hours to repond to my first arguement.

and you are welcome

ask asksome in Detroit if he was a bust- they drafted him

How'd he do in Orlando?
23 mpg- right there is a red flag
8 ppg and 5.5 rpg

thats a bust compared to the rest of the top 5.

onto 2005




1 Andrew Bogut (C) 12 ppg 8.8 rpg
2 Marvin Williams (SF) 13ppg - 5rpg - 1.9 apg
3 Deron Williams (PG) 16ppg - 9.3 apg
4 Chris Paul (PG) 17pg 8.9 apg
5 Raymond Felton (PG) 14ppg 7.0 apg
6 Martell Webster (G/F) 7.0ppg 0.6apg 2.4 rpg

Thats your top 6 - and the two you mentioned
Danny Granger (F) 13.9ppg 3.3 rpg -
David Lee (F) 10.7 ppg 10.4

Lets not forget this is a CENTER and his numbers are going to be different- plus Mil playes a different stlye than the bobcats and Hawks that alters his stats somewhat.

But there is still not real damage done- was there a better pick than him at number 1? absolutly- but that is the case in almost every draft.

But he is still a value pick at a postition that is not easily filled in the NBA- so he is NOT a bust.

I never said he should have been a top pick- but compared to Kwame - he's an All-Star
