Bogut on the rise?

Andrew Boguts recent play has many people seeing why the Bucks tabbed him with the Number 1 overall draft choice back in 2005. While bogut has been solid in his career so far he is yet to put together a display worthy of a Number 1 draft pick. All that seems to be changing with bogut over his last 10 games putting together averages of 18.6ppg and 9.9rpg. More impressive is his defensive improvement on the year which sees him getting 1.7bpg on the year. Those numbers over an entire season would be where most 'experts' would have thought Andrew was capable of coming out of Utah. But what most people acknowledge is that he has always been the 3rd or 4th option on offence his first 3 years in the league and hasn't been able to showcase his many talents.

The offence in recent games seems to be starting and sometimes finishing with Bogut. A smart move by coach Larry Krystkowiak who must be starting to realise the Australian centres ability to pass and the importance of developing a low post presence in a team full of shooters. The Bucks offence would be potent if Bogut can continually demand a double team in the post. This will open up Redd, Yi and Mo Williams who all can shoot well from range.

Unfortunately typical of all NBA teams they will go away from Bogut because they have signed players to over inflated contracts or will it??????
