Tough call. Bogut's only 20. It's really a toss up but if I was forced to draft one or the other I probably would go with Bogut due to his willingness to do the dirty work and little things which is helping the Bucks win games.

bogut. bogut is already the best passing big man in the nba. UNREAL.

here's my thing on curry - it seems like a player like frye will get more aggressive as the intensity of the game picks up whereas curry would tend to shy away. (which explains his rebounding #'s). but there's plenty of time for curry to develop. but i'd still take bogut.

Bogut- he's just got a great touch with the ball.

Now, he might never be a superstar/all star or produce the kinds of stats that curry does- he does seem to have the ability to be 'part of a winning team'...

We still haven't seen what Curry can do when he is in game shape--he didn't play ALL summer--he is going to be a beast for us. That said, I still like Bogut's feel for the game.

Curry, based on his post game alone.

What makes you say that? I don't see any evidence at all of that being accurate. And even so, it's only been three games. A little early to say he's the best passing big man in the NBA.

Bogut, he rebounds and both should average over 20 pts a game soon.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.

BOGUT hands down.

Bougt is already skilled at every aspect of the game. In a few yrs, I see him being one of THE BEST C who can play at both ends of the court. What I love is his intensity and drive.

Curry is an offensive monster. But his BB intellect is low, can't defend, doesn't rebound much, and has question marks with his motivation and health.

But I'm happy that we got Curry. Just imagine not having Cury on this on this team now.

Curry, hands down.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Curry has a higher upside with his ability to score, but Bogut is a rare player that I think will be something of a Garnett type, maybe not 20 points, but something like 17-18 pts 12-13 reb 5-6 assists 2 blocks in his prime and he does a lot of smart things that dont show up in the boxscore, curry is all about post offense.

Bogut is a complete player while Curry is only a scorer.

What happened to Curry being the type of player that only comes around once every 15-20 years like Isiah said? Well Benoit Benjamin came along about 15 years ago so..

Yeah I'm sure if the Knicks would have drafted Bogut, you would have said just the opposite. BTW, nice to see the Nets doing pretty well. I'm sure you gotta be please.

I like Curry but Bogut is in another world. Bogut just does so much more with the ball and most importantly WITHOUT the ball. I think thats what seperates him. I'd go into the long list of things he does better but I've done it in like 3 other threads recently so I won't bore anyone again.

And I thuoght Nate was over rated!!!

Better than Brad Miller? Chris Webber? Are we getting just a weency bit ahead of ourselves? Or is it me?

Its tough to call, Bogut has only 4 games in. Very tough, maybe Bogut because of the amount of things he does well as opposed to Curry who really only does one thing well and sucks at every other aspect. Curry just really has the potential to be a Shaq type player though. Its tough.

Bogut. Curry is the new Tim Thomas. "He just can't put it all together"
