With Shaq and Howard in the East and Yao out for season, Bogut would surely be chance to make team if he posted 15 and 10.

If he can play 80 games - yes! If he's part of a winning team - Yes!

orbit hit it on the head!! maybe he could try to be a bit more likable as a person as well! people (and even coaches) want to see allstar players that they actually like and can be entertained by!! not just boring stats!

no, if NBA is a Australian league then yes. he's viewed as a solid role player but not star caliber. even today there's still quite a lot of articles out there calling him a bust.I don't think he is one but just not a #1 pick.
Yes if he played in west australia he would make the SBL All Star team, I think.
Al jefferson, bynum and now a reborn and healthy greg oden are all alot better.then there is okafor and marc gasol. heck haddadi is better then bogut. he is very overrated

Bogut really needs a break out season this year & to overcome his injuries. He is a solid role player when fully fit but I would not say he is an all star at this stage of his career

He needs to be used more. When Redd goes off the damn floor they win because Redd is a shitter version of Bryant well tries do the same stuff but obviously cant. Bogut would easily go for 15 10 a night if they gave him the ball.

i agree, i think the critics have moved past calling him a bust, and most seem to be calling for bogut to get more shots. the general consensus seems to be if he can get 10 - 15 shots a game he'll convert on 75% of them.

William 34, Bogut will definitely be an allstar if he puts up 10 plus shots a game at a 75% clip! No-one shoots that well!
If he can stay healthy, I think 14 pts, 11 reb and 1.5 blocks is very realistic for him this year. If he can get those numbers over a full season, then I think he and the Bucks will be very happy.
He wouldn't make the all star team in the West either though, because he's got Jefferson and Bynum that will be clearly ahead of him and perhaps Stoudemire as well if he is classed as a centre. Oden might pass Bogut this season if his pre-season form is anything to go by, but I think I'll reserve judgement until the end of the season on that one.

The Bucks will be in a hell hole if Bogut is their best player.
Timmy Duggan?? And add Joel Prybilla to the list. A center who plays D.
