Well, now you guys know why I feel the way I feel about Bogut and the Bucks. There is no way that this kid is going to be a bust. Left/right hand finishing ability, left/right hand ball handling, inside/outside offense, athleticism (graded better than Okafer's Chicago pre-draft camp numbers), collegiate/international winner, along with the proper drive and attitude to get even better, he'll be an impact player from day one. If, like Howard, he needs time to adjust, last year's starter would be ready to go.
If Bogut's first year numbers land somewhere between Emeka Okafer and Dwight Howard, I'll be extremely pleased. He'll most likely go a step further by adding the passing dimension to the Bucks' post offense. The Chris Mihm comparisons are unfounded, imo. Mihm (not a #1 overall) did not come into the league with Bogut's credentials or accomplishments and clearly doesn't possess Bogut's skill set. I'm inclined to agree with the professional scouts that say that he'll be at least as good as Brad Miller and Vlade Divac. I think he'll be better than those two because he's more athletic and fundamentally skilled (except for Miller's exceptional ft%).
I wouldn't compare him to Z as a post presence because while being 7-1, he's not 7-3 260lbs. Z has a better anchor and more length....allowing him to easily collect his misses for putbacks underneath against most of the league's sub-7 foot centers. Z is also an equal, if not better, perimeter shooter. One advantage that Bogut will have in the matchup is speed up and down the court. He'll also provide more resistance under the basket at 7-1 than the Great Gadzuric at 6-11.
Overall, I think we're looking at the eventual Rookie of the Year. Chris Paul is a decent bet as well but I don't think his point abilities will be accentuated with the talent that he has around him in Oklahoma City (yeah let's just say Oklahoma City...N.O. won't be able to sustain professional sports for years). Paul will be more like an early version of Stephon Marbury in that offense.
