My Take
What I admire most about Andrew Bogut is the quiet dignity of his game. The 2005 college player of the year swept nearly every major award before going number one in the draft, yet he built his pro career on the unglamorous work: screens, rebounds, and rim protection. As an Aussie seven-footer who anchored teams rather than chased highlights, he represents a kind of basketball intelligence that connoisseurs treasure more than casual fans do. I have always preferred players who make everyone around them better, and Bogut fits that mold beautifully. A tough, cerebral big man worthy of real respect.
