Andy Bogut should be 3rd team All NBA.

Agree or Disagree.

Dude's been amazing on D. IMO, he should get some consideration for DPOY.

Disagree. He should be second team.

Besides Dwight Howard, what other center has been as consistently excellent as Bogut on a winning team? The answer is nobody. He just made the leap from "okay 1st overall pick" last year to "franchise player" this year. I love his game.

I always knew Andrew was going to be a G. He just needed more touches...No offense to Redd and it is unfortunate what is happening to him with all the injuries, but him being out was probably for the best.

Agree, because C is ridiculously thin. Most players who play C could also go as PF, and some actually request to be such (Duncan).

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Bucks fan and I think Bogut is playing great, but if he played any other position, you can find 3 better players.

2nd or 3rd yep

No. The young man is a solid player no doubt. He has some quality moves, he is a sturdy rebounder, and he is a capable and willing passer. Unfortunately, he lacks athleticism which makes him a poor man defender and he needs to play much better against the coordinated defenses in the league.

Re: Andy Bogut should be 3rd team All NBA.

At least mention 3 centers more deserving somewhere in your scouting report.

Here's the top centers in my eyes, not in order:
Howard, Lopez, Marc Gasol, Kaman, Bynum, Bogut

In betweeners:
Amare, Duncan, Pau Gasol, Bosh, Horford

I don't see how Bogut can't be a top 3 center if we're not couting the in betweeners.

So, second in the league in blocks doesn't cut it for you? In the past, he used to just take charges instead of swatting the ball.

Now, he one of the best blockers in the league, and his athleticism is in question.

Bosh really doesn't play much center..I know his stats list him as playing a decent amount, but he is not a center..

Bogut IMO, has been as good as any Center not named Howard.

I agree completely. I appreciate what Redd gave to the team over the last few years as our only real scorer, but the team has become much better this year in his absence.

Re: Andy Bogut should be 3rd team All NBA.

I think 3rd team should be a lock and 2nd team wouldn't be too much of a surprise. He and Dwight are the only two players in the league averaging over 15ppg, 10 boards and 2 bpg and he's shooting nearly 52% while leading a fairly weak Bucks team to the playoffs.

I'm still bummed he didn't get the Allstar invite over Horford.

Re: Andy Bogut should be 3rd team All NBA.

I think he's plenty athletic. He's not a high flyer but he moves very well for a 7footer and is highly skilled. I ended up watching almost all of that Clippers-Bucks game that was on TV last Wed mainly to see how him and Kaman matched up. They were battling back and forth with Bogut hitting several lefty jump hooks with his back to the basket.

I wasn't a fan of his before but I've come around on him. I'm still a huge Kaman fan though.
