Andrew Bogut Article - Lottery Time!

Here's the article

Good read. They seem pretty high on Bogut over there!

The Draft Lottery is tomorrow. Picks 15 down are already determined by team record, but the ping pong balls tomorrow decide who gets top pick. Who would you like to see get #1 and first shot at Bogut? Will he even go number 1?

Personally, I think there's a fair chance he'll be picked #1. As the GM in the article said, how many big guys as good as Bogut come along? Not many. Guards are a dime a dozen. Bogut currently leads an NBA.com poll for the predicted #1 pick with 39% of the vote.

Of the lottery teams, I'd most like to see Bogut land in Golden State. They finished last season off well, and with J-Rich & Baron Davis they have a solid foundation. Bogut would be a great big man to compliment that duo. Unfortunately, the Warriors only have a 1.4% chance of getting the #1 pick. Still, stranger things have happened, like the Magic getting the #1 pick in '93. Where would others like him to land? Teams with the best odds of getting the #1 pick are Atlanta (25%), New Orleans (17.8%) & Charlotte (17.7%).

He'd look good at Atlanta I'd think. Can someone list the teams that are in the running for the draft?

Would be great for him endorsement wise if he went to a big market such as New York or LA Lakers.

Eg if Bogut was successful at New York he would become an absolute superstar.

Would be more pressure on him to perform though than somewhere like Atlanta but he is a fundamentally sound, unselfish player who will be successful from his rebounding and passing alone.

New York would definately make him a name player in that environment.

Having him in GS would look pretty nice with J-Rich and Davis. Good 3 player combo there.
