<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TDoug:</div><div class="quote_post">Did I read "Bogut...led 19 others" in rookie game voting? Come on. Comparing Bogut to Paul is like comparing Judi Dench to Kirsten Dunst. Who voted? Shawn Bradley, Bill Walton and Eric Montross? Bogut may be in the NBA but he sure isn't in Paul's league.</div> You know, I started to write this response in a very diplomatic, witty way, but then I realized that I'm not going to make my point that way. Is Bogut the best rookie? Hell no, Paul is better than every other rookie by a mile. However, GIVE BOGUT SOME DAMN RESPECT. Jesus Christ. This about the 8th time in the last week that I've seen some just out and out disrespect Bogut, and I'm damn sick of it by now. The kid is a player, plain and simple. He's putting up good numbers and he's playing his ass off every night and helping the Bucks win. He's playing out of position at the 4, trying to guard guys like David West, Chris Bosh and Rasheed, all guys who are more athletic and who pull him out to the perimeter. He is busting his ass and for some reason no one gives him credit. I know that many of you expected him to go out and average 20 and 10 as a rookie, but as I've said before and is common sense, that's unrealistic. He's got to develop, he's not even getting 30 minutes a night because of our frontcourt depth. Appreciate what the guy's doing, which is his part to help a team that was 20+ games under .500 a year ago get to the playoffs. He plays hard every night, which is something that you can't say about all the rookies, let alone about half the league, and he's getting better. Wake up and give the guy some kudos for what he does. No one ever cares to notice Milwaukee or any of the players, they just criticize, and it's about damn time for that crap to stop. /rant
