Andrew Bogut | Born: AUS | 7'1" 255 | 21 yrs old - Great footwork for 21 year old - Rare passing ability for a 7-footer - Only gets 7 shots a game - Plays hard Emeka Okafor | Born: TX | 6'10" 255 | 23 yrs old - Could be a great defender - Very good rebounder - Great attitude and work ethic Which would you rather have an why?
okafor easily. okafor would own him any day. okafor is better offensively and defensively. okafor could be a ben wallace with offense.
How is he better than Bogut offensively? Bogut gets 7 shots a game and averages 9ppg. Emeka gets 13 shots a game and averages 13ppg while shooting 41% from the field. :thumbdn1:
I think Emeka Okafor might be one of those players who's always getting injured. Andrew Bogut is just 21 years old, he's 7'1" 250 pounds, he never gets the ball because of Redd, Mo, and Bobby, he has great footwork, he's a great passer, only gets 7 shots a game and gets points the hard way, he's going to be a great rebounder.
Hell no, Bogut sucks. He's a douche, he actually said he's the best basketball player in australia history .I hope he fails and finally understands you can only be cocky if you;re good.
i'll take Emeka, although the injuries seem like a problem. He's a very good defender, and he proved better offensively than most ppl thought his rookie year. He has experience winning, and he has a great work ethic. It seems to me that Bogut could never be a great leader in the nba, but i think Emeka has a shot at it.

I swear to god. 1. You can't use Chris Paul's great season to diss Bogut. Who cares if he doesn't win ROY? Who cares if Emeka won it last year? They are completley different teams with different situations. 2. Emeka Okafor last year had a great rookie season but the Bobcats didn't have anything on that team so he got to play all the time. Unlike the Bucks who have a solid rotation of bigmen competing for minutes (Joe Smith, Dan Gadzuric, Jamal Magloire). Emeka didn't have anyone taking minutes from him like Bogut has. 3. Andrew Bogut actually has a higher effciency rating than Channing Frye. 4. If you haven't noticed I didn't pick a side on this thread. I have not given my opinion on who I would rather have, I posted this for debate. 5. Saying Bogut is awful is just ridiculous, he's hardly involved in the offense and has guys like Redd and Mo Williams who shoot a lot, something Okafor's never had to deal with. 6. Who cares who went to Utah over the years? What does that matter.
he's hardly involved cuz he sucks. ever think of that? yea cuz i'm a knicks fan has a lot to do with why i think okafor is better than ur boyfriend bogut. bogut is nobody compared to all the other rookies. frye plays less minutes than your boy does and his efficiecy rating is only 1 point better. wow that's significant. frye is better than him anyway. the only edge bogut has is rebounding. frye can hit the outside shot and bang inside but your boy can't do anything offensively. o i keep forgettin he only gets 7 shots a game, cuz he sucks. if you haven't picked someone then pick someone. how long were you gonna wait?
Because he's not involved in the offense and our guards don't pass inside...He's got a good offensive game and shoots over 50%. You can say Bogut sucks but it just makes you look stupid to be honest because the is only 21.

I think your forgetting: Chris Kamen, Troy Murphy, Mehmet Okur, Pau Gasol, Zaur Pachulia, Dirk Nowitzki, Toni Kukoc, Nenad Krstic, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Andrei Kirilenko.

Bogut is a good inside offensive player, thats what makes him different than most of the foreign players.
If this is right now, it's Okafor. He is a good rebounder and good at blocking shots. He isn't too great offensively but he as sound at most aspects required out of a center. But if this is longterm it goes to Bogut, you can tell by just watching him that he knows how to play the game of basketball, savvy guy, good footwork, he can drop in the shot, he is very focused durning games and he is good at getting to the rack from the post.
