    So Larry Miller thinks Andrew Bogut is overrated, even though everyone else in the organization ? those who really know basketball talent ? disagrees. That's fine to express his opinion, even if it is against NBA rules. But I have to laugh about his comment on Bogut that "in tough situations, he disappears." Hmmm. Doesn't that sound exactly like a certain big guy who starred for the Jazz for 18 years? . . .
    As one of a handful of people who saw Bogut play more than 60 games in person the past two years, I respectfully disagree with Miller's assessment of Bogut. With his tremendous passing ability, his vacuum-cleaner-like rebounding ability and 3-point shooting potential, Bogut looks like a can't-miss NBA prospect . . .
    Also, I never noticed Bogut backing down from challenging situations. He just happened to have a poor final game against Kentucky. If Miller is talking down Bogut so the Jazz can pick someone else if they have a choice, that will be a big mistake. Bogut will be playing in the NBA for a long time, and if the Jazz are lucky, it will be for them . . .
    Wow, this is almost as exciting as the years the Jazz were trying to move up in the final standings before the playoffs began. Only this year, we're all hoping the Jazz will lose, so they can get a better spot in the NBA Draft. I know teams should always try to do their best and win. But I can recall a few games late in past seasons when the Jerry Sloan would rest his starters late in the season in preparation for the playoffs. Couldn't the Jazz "rest" Matt Harpring and Mehmet Okur the rest of the season in preparation for the lottery? . . .</div>

    So if the Jazz some how win the 1st pick in the draft, do they pass on Bogut? [​IMG]
