<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Miami - Television analyst Charles Barkley, for one, is pleased that the Milwaukee Bucks won the National Basketball Association draft lottery. "I was pulling for Atlanta but I'm glad for Milwaukee," Barkley said Wednesday before working Game 2 between Miami and Detroit for TNT. "They've got to do something to beef up the East because the East is atrocious. "There are only five good teams in the NBA: the four we have left and Indiana. The rest stink." Barkley said if he were the Bucks' general manager, it would be a no-brainer for him to choose 7-foot center Andrew Bogut of Utah. "Then they've got to re-sign Michael Redd," Barkley said. Barkley cautioned Bucks fans, though, not to set their expectations too high too early if the Bucks do go for Bogut. Barkley said many fans mistakenly put a "franchise player" label on players taken first overall in the draft. "The last time you had the No. 1 pick, you took Glenn Robinson," Barkley said. "He was good but he wasn't a franchise player. He wasn't a mistake. The consensus was that he was the best player, the No. 1 pick. Grant Hill was not a franchise player, either." "The problem when you get the No. 1 pick, people think he's going to be a franchise player. You're going to get a good player and then get some other good players to put around him. A Shaq doesn't come along often."</div> Source
yeah i mean andrew bogut is just a rookie not a franchise player and if the bucks said this about him then im sure michael redd wouldnt be that pleased.
