Bogut should be fourth on the list. As “derz” said, he could average 18/9 in the right system. The problem is, the Bucks haven’t really developed him as a feature player until recently. It also doesn’t help that your starting guards are both ballhogs. Outside of Charlie Bell, Bogut may be the best playmaker on the team.

The list looks fair, but I would change the current top 3. I’d take Bynum first overall and then the 2 super PG’s. Bynum is turning into an all star and big men have proven to be rarer and more valuable then PG’s.

You put david lee above bogut? come on now…lets not over-react here. bogut has not really dominated, stats wise.

but i dunno if you guys have watched many bucks games, or are just going by stats. watch a bucks game and you can see bogut really really wants to win. he’s one of those players that coaches love. he’ll do what’s best for the win. he is, after all, australian. we australians don’t really give a shit about stats. take today for example – he scored like 7 points down the stretch when the bucks were 8 points down and the bucks got the win. the bucks are a jump-shooting team. i have no doubt that bogut could average 18/9 in this league if in the right system for him. he is also a good passer. this year he has improved his defense too, and is a little lighter. i don’t believe you should judge a centre until their fourth year – they take a little longer to develop.

yes bynum will probably be a better center…i just love bynum i reckon he is a beast.

but bogut is not as much of a bust as some people make out. sure, he is no number 1 pick in hindsight. but you also cannot blame the bucks because at the time EVERYONE was saying pick bogut, and a few people were saying marvin williams. the bucks didn’t really screw up…CP3 and deron just turned out to be better players than everyone expected in the league.

P.S. CP3 for MVP!!!!

lol @ Stallion: “Bynum’s had a lot of improvement, but he also has had a lot more room for improvement.”

that’s a downside how?

Bogut is a joke. Picking him at #1 is an ever bigger one. Sooner you accept this, the earlier the healing comes…

You can’t just say that the Bucks should’ve taken Bynum in the draft. Of course they have played far different ranges in minutes, but Bogut has at least been a pretty consistent player his whole career. Bynum’s had a lot of improvement, but he also has had a lot more room for improvement.

Garcia almost made the cut, but Blatche has too much potential (same with Villanueva). With Blatche, everyone still thinks he can be a star. Garcia’s ceiling isn’t as high.

What about Cisco? You don’t think he makes the lottery over Blatche or somebody like that if GMs could see the future? El FLaco is a nice player.

hey Gmoney I’m a huge hawks fan too (clippers and lakers too) but when they drafted Marvin I was like what the hell? Can’t the Josh’s hold that spot down? they get CP3 and they have Joe Johnson at the 2, Smooth at the 3 and Paul playin point. They never would have gotten Horford then but could u imagine that team if they did? damn…

As a long time hawks fan (yeah that’s right), the most crushing moment was not scooping up CP3. Me and my boy Adam were yelling at the tube. I knew then he would be who he is now…Deron Williams is no scrub; his game speaks volumes, but Paul will be the best 1 of the next decade (if he can stay healthy).
