He has said that his arm/elbow will never be properly healed, and will always be around 80-90%.

Ankle injuries on a guy that size don't heal overnight either.

The guys 4-5 games in from a second come back from an injury that side lined him for over a year. He's winded after 5 minutes and isnt allowed to exceed 25mins a game right now. Also he's not going to be the offensive focus at times like he was with the Bucks, with Lee and a bunch of shooters around him you'll see him racking up alot more assists compared to the past to points once he gets some more games in with the team.

Lets give him a month before we jump to conclusions.

Wow, 5 games back and asking if he is done as a big time player.

I think with time he can and should average a double double for the warriors. That combined with 2 blocks a game is exactly what the warriors are after, they already have the scoring.

He will be a good player but wont ever be an allstar which to be honest as a no. 1 pick you should ne an all star player. without the injuries i think he would have been in the all star game 2 seasons back or even last year.

Without the injuries he would have been the best defensive centre of his era.

Don't think he's quite ready to return to the NBL just yet. Slow and steady return this time might be the key to his long term success.

Will be a key factor come play off time when the Warriors will need his interior D and post O.

Settle down boys, I was just wondering. Keep in mind, I'm not judging or condeming. Most people on this site are just to sensative when someone asks for an oppinion that might bring them back to reality!

I consider him on par with Howard (at least for that one season before he went down).

Howard is better at the glamour stuff, but Bogut's know-how and grit were above anything Howard has ever shown me.

Howard's breadth of work is obviously undeniable, he has played at that high level defensively for many seasons while Bogut really only had a couple where he was dominant. From that small sample size though, Bogut was on par or close behind Howard defensively.

will he ever come back to the nbl?

he posted on facebook for his basketball academy. saying that parennts shouldn't be worried much about grading for their kids. hard work is the key to success.

like it sounds he dont need to be an all star. but he's still blocking shots and hope he can slowly go back to his defense that affects the how the whole team plays D

I've seen most of his games since his return and he has generally been very solid. At times he has really made great plays as well. He still has great timing for blocking shots, great body control to avoid fouling, has made some great passes and is generally showing good touch around the rim.

I think after only a few games back, he is doing very well and will only get better if he stays healthy. By the time the playoffs roll around, hopefully he and his team-mates will be on the same page with their defence and they could go deep into post-season.
