<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's almost certain Melbourne basketballer Andrew Bogut won't be available for Australia for next year's Commonwealth Games. The 20-year-old from Endeavour Hills is likely to have commitments in the NBA next March, leaving him with no option but to miss the Games in his home town. "Of course I am disappointed, but right now I have to put my career here in the US ahead of my country," Bogut said. The 213cm giant has made a huge impression in his second year playing for the University of Utah and is expected to go in the top five in the June NBA draft in New York. "There is plenty of media speculation here in America that I could go one, but I don't care if I go one or 10. I just want to fulfil a dream and my first choice would be to stay here in Utah and play for the Jazz in the NBA," Bogut said.</div> <div align="center">Link</div>
I certainly wouldn't complain if the Jazz drafted Andrew Bogut...we'll have to get a top 3 pick though. Maybe the Jazz can get lucky in the NBA draft lottery and jump up a couple of spots so they'll have a shot at Bogut. It would also help the Jazz's fan base, considering he plays for the University of Utah.
Even though Utah need a PG badly, if Bogut is available the Jazz should take him. How many players these days actually want to play for the Jazz? He has a lot of upside, and is improving by the game. He should have a good future in the NBA.
that guy is my hero i live in Endeavour Hills me and him went to the same school belive it or not but im alot younger then him im 16 he is 19 i played him in a bball game it was yr 10s vs yr 7s man he kicked my ass but i scored 18 points that game result was 60-110 i top scored for yr 7s 18 he got 45 points and 20 rebounds for yr 10s
I'm not a big Jazz watcher, but is point guard really the spot you need to improve on most? Keith McLeod seems to be doing an admirable job, and Lopez looked promising last season. Meanwhile, you have Bochardt and Collins at center. Wouldn't that position grant an even bigger need?

In the draft, it would be really nice if the Jazz could pick up someone there so we don't have to keep running a "PG by committy" like we are this season. Memo plays most of the minutes for us at the 5. If we drafted Bogut, it would give us great flexiblity in our frontcourt. If the Jazz pick up Bogut, Jack, or Paul in the draft, I'll be pleased. If we find a way to get two of them...I'd be estatic.
