I've personally got my eye on Bogut because he bad mouthed accomplished NBA players before he even stepped onto an NBA court. Although I'm not big a fan of the people he bad mouthed, he has made himself a target. I would have been the same way if Okafor or Lebron or Yao or Kwame and whoever else made those types of statements b4 they came into the league. You have to consistantly dominate in this league before you believe your own hype.
If he does well, then I guess he knew what he was talking about. But please believe that he is under a bigger microscope now than he would have been if he hadn't called out certain guys.
I agree, I have seen Andrew play a good amount of times in college and I really think he will be a very good player in this league. However, I don't like how he basically called out Kobe Bryant before even being drafted. I know he is an intelligent guy, but that is one of the stupidiest things you can do as a rookie. Still, I think he will be excellent on the basketball court and I'm rooting for him to do well (when we don't play the Bucks).
