Whatever he chooses to do, I hope he's keeping grounded and working on his game. Must be dangerous to find so much hype surrounding you.

I hope the writer fact-checked everything about his old man!

Yeah, the hype on Bogut can off some college years behind him so for an Aussie this will be ground breaking stuff, he needs (and should have) some cool heads to help keep a lid on it I suspect...
Not so easy in today's world of internetfacebookology!

Yeah hopefully he doesn't get overhyped to the point where his natural ceiling is considered an underachievement in the eyes of the mainstream hype-buying consensus...
Obviously he will be grounded. I mean with a Dad that gets so outraged over a forum saying Gaze dunked on him, that behaviour isnt fickle at all.

Mick, hit on the head for mine. Its the hype that can bring down these young prospects. Let him be the player he is going to be, and if that player ends up being a franchise changer, or a bench warmer with a few towel moves, so be it. Young kids living there dreams on a world or national stage playing sport is a special opportunity to have!
