KAMAN IS surprisingly good statistically, whereas bogut has more expectation after being number 1 pick.

Interestingly bogut is the only player in the league apart from dwight howard who averages 15+ ppg, 10+rpg and 2+bpg. Gone are the good old mid 90s when about 5 guys did it year in year out - have no stats to back it up, just a hunch.

He's definitely better defensively than Big Al and based on what I've seen I think he is better than Kaman too. I haven't checked Kaman's effect on the Clippers defensive stats, but I did post some figures showing that Bogut has a massive effect on the Bucks defence recently. Pretty sure the Bucks are still rated better as a team on defence than the Clips this year too.

Rebounding? Pretty close between all three. All are elite level rebounders IMO.

Offensively, Jefferson is a clear winner and Kaman has an advantage over Bogut because he can make those mid-range shots at times and hits his freebies more often. Having said that, Bogut has improved dramatically this season and is not that far behind Kaman at the moment. He's definitely the most likely of the three to throw down a spectaclar dunk on someone (other two are more finesse guys but Bogut has some explosiveness if you give him a lane to the basket).

Bogut is No 10 in defensive rating - the other guys are aren't even top 20. Wins your argument right there

Bogut leads the league in charges and is second (or equal second) in blocks per game. He easily wins this one.
