Bogut fourth in Jan 9 Rookie Rankings
NBA.com has its Rookie Rankings online, and of course Andrew Bogut fares pretty well.
Here's their top ten: CP3, Frye, the Foetus, Bogut, Deron Williams, Sarunas, Calderon, Salim Stoudamire, Diogu, Nate Robinson. Under "noteworthy" come Granger from IND, Lee from the Knicks and Petro from the Sonics.
Bogut's statline includes the best rebound and block counts of that group, and he goes pretty close in FG% too.
Chris Paul has injured his thumb and will miss about two weeks of action -- if the injury hangs around, it could certainly throw a spanner into the ROTY works.
Bogut's full statline: 27.6 MPG, 8.9 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 2.1 APG. 0.77 SPG, 0.94 BPG, 53.1% from the field and a dodgy 59.1% from the stripe.
Anyone else feel that Bogut would put up numbers to rival Frye and Villanueva if the Bucks made more use of him?
