do you live in a cave?
double teams slowed him down a lot on offence
But Bogut couldnt handle it at all... especially when the guys were bigger.. he wont stand a chance unless he gets stronger... hes a much shorter Yao with a btter jumper IMO...

Hawks need everything basically, but they can't afford to pass up a big man as good as Andrew Bogut. Jason Collier will only take them so far.
2. Charlotte: G- Chris Paul
They love this guy, and need a PG badly. If Paul doesn't declare, look for them to trade down a couple of pics to grab Deron Williams.
3. New Orleans: G- Deron Williams
Desperate for a starting PG, Hornets will pick Williams a little earlier than everyone else expects. Or they will pick best available and trade down for a PG like Williams.
4. Utah: C- Martynas Andriuskevicius
With 2 PG's that could really help them both gone by this pick, the Jazz will go big and hope it pays off. I can't see them taking a high schooler like Green.
5. Golden State: F- Tiago Splitter
Looks like the Warriors have given up on Dunleavy Jr with this pick. Splitter's a Gasol-like talent at PF who could end up playing a little bit as a big 3.
6. Portland: G/F- Gerald Green
Trailblazers won't be able to contain themselves if high schooler Green is still on the board at 6. It's either Green or Taft here.
7. Milwaukee: F/C- Fran Vazquez
Bucks need a big and they will prefer to take a punt on the athletic Vazquez over the inconsistent Taft.
8. Toronto: F- Nemanja Aleksandrov
Not what Raptors fans were hoping for. He needs a lot of time.
9. New York: G- Raymond Felton
I'm making a bold prediction that the Knicks, for once will not pick another PF. Meet the Knicks' new starting PG.
10. LA Clippers: G/F- Antoine Wright
Clippers need backup for Maggette and Simmons at the SG and SF spots. Wright is probably best suited for their needs at this picks.
11. New Jersey: F/C- Chris Taft
If Taft falls to them and he pans out, this could be one of the steals of the draft. Although that's two big IFs.
12. Orlando: G- Rashad McCants
Magic would have been better served with Antoine Wright, but Magic go with best SG available. Will combine with Nelson and Francis to make a dynamic 3-headed (albeit very small) backcourt rotation.
13. LA Lakers: G- Jarrett Jack
Lakers need a PG in the worst kind of way. With Kobe bickering with Atkins, a new PG will be running show next season. Jack could be their man.
14. Toronto (from Phi): F- Danny Granger
Toronto will be frustrated to have missed out on Jack, but they could have taken Felton with their other 1st Round pick. Raptors take best on board, which happens to be do-it-all SF Danny Granger.
15. Indiana: F- Joey Graham
With all the injuries that the Pacers seem to have in the frontcourt, the Pacers will pick a forward. It's either Graham or Simien here, but for some reason I think they'll go with Graham.
16. Minnesota: C/F- Johan Petro
T'wolves need a new SF, but they figure Petro will at the very least, be an upgrade over the Kandi Man.
17. Charlotte (from Cle): F- Hakim Warrick
Bobcats seem to love their stringy, athletes and Hakim is one of the best you'll find. Nice pick at this spot.
18. Phoenix (from Chi): G- Francisco Garcia
You might think it's a stretch to have Garcia this high, but with a strong NCAA tourney and good workouts, he could move this high. Garcia could easily fit into the Suns' playing style, and the fact that he can play anywhere from the 1 through to 3 means his versatility will suit the Suns when they want to run different lineups at opponents.
19. Boston: F- Charlie Villanueva
Forward with potential who can play anywhere in the frontcourt. Other players that could fall to the C's are Rudy Fernandez, Joey Graham or Kennedy Winston.
20. Denver (from Was): G- Rudy Fernandez
Nuggets have 2 consecutive picks, so they'll use one of them on a foreigner who they'll probably leave in Europe for a season or two. Fernandez is a combo guard who could help the Nuggets team a year or two from now.
21. Denver: G- Kennedy Winston
Nuggets really need a 2. Winston is best available, and would make a sensible pick at this juncture.
22. Memphis: F- Ike Diogu
Grizzlies could use a bit of toughness and insurance at PF, so Diogu could go here. They might go with a Euro here and stash him away.
23. Houston: C/F- Channing Frye
There are no guards that interest the Rockets at this point, so they will get a solid big guy who can backup at C & PF.
24. Sacramento: F- Vladimir Veremeenko
Kings draft Vlad and leave him in Russia for a couple of years.
25. Detroit: G- Monta Ellis
Pistons take a punt. Let's see if he works out.
26. Utah (from Dal): F- Angelo Gigli
It's almost become a tradition for Jazz to use a late 1st Rounder each year on a Euro and stash him away or trade his rights to another team.
27. Seattle: F/C- Erazem Lorbek
Never thought Lorbek would squeeze in, but somehow he has. Hmm....
28. San Antonio: F- Ronny Turiaf
This pick makes a lot of sense. Spurs bring in Parker's fellow countryman, who will provide toughness at PF and C.
29. New York (from Pho): F- Wayne Simien
A forgotten senior falls again. And it only seems fitting that the Knicks select at least one undersized PF, to go with the other 5 or 6.
30. Miami: G/F- Mickaël Gelabale
Probably would have taken whichever PF was available between Turiaf and Simien, but both are gone, so Heat go with French swingman with last pick of 1st Round.
Last out: G- Salim Stoudamire
probably Hodge, if he can carry his team further in the NCAA.

Weaknesses: He's not a very strong player and will prob get harrased in the post by bigger guys like Shaq... Not an athlete- i think he will play about 32 mpg in the NBA... lacks defensive intensity... will struggle against huys who hold him in check...
