Andrew Bogut is such an exceptionally skilled offensive player, rugged defensively when not saddled with fouls, and just plain tenacious.Combined with an exceptionally gifted offensive talent in CV, and that leaves no holes, holes that have been there for year's. Even when we had one decent big, his complement would be a STONE HANDS TYPE, Tim Thomas, Jason Caffey, Darvin Ham, EJ, Danny G, ect., that when down low, allot of times the ball would go off their foot, ot they would dribble it off their own foot, or something else unforced.With BOTH guy's having the skills to be offensive players, we will start to see a world of diference, and less turnover's on unforced error's.Take as an example the pass CV made with his back to Drew, who was cutting down the lane toward the basket. The pass was behind Drew, but because of his soft hands and offensive skills, he was able to gather it, and put it in effortlessly with his left hand. Speaking of which, both AB and CV can go strong to the hoop with their right or left hands, again indicating their skill's. Piece this together if you will...in the Rookie All-Star, Bogut on a couple of posession's threw acurate behind the back passes, and overall belonged on the court with Howard, Paul, (CV), and the other all stars.A week before camp, they were practicing at the Cousin's for the whole week, and if you recall, there were articles where player's were saying they couldn't believe Bogut was going Coast to Coast, he has PG skills, ect.The game last night...Are we getting this yet guys? Do you see a pattern? You couple that with his work ethic, attitude, his physical nature, and I am tellig you, he will be for a time before his career is over, he will be a top 5 player in the league. My 36 years, excuse me, my 37 years of being around the game has given me a Basket(crystal)ball, and it see's a bright future for not only Andrew Bogut, but the Milwuakee Bucks as well.

I've never seen such solid ball control down low from a PF/C combo...they rarely had a bad turnover, they didn't miss passes, fumble the ball...amazing...Bogut is 7'1", with his handle, speed and size he's not going to have trouble scoring at all...Both these guys can put up 17/11 at any time. I've never been more excited to be a Bucks fan...
With both wins haveing been sound and convincing , it is still too early to get all gushy, save for the tandem of CV and AB. Go ahead and cry if you need too, because that is real and will be around a long time. You guys do not know me well on here, but on other sites I am pretty respected, and don't make ridiculous statement to get attention.So as far as team sucess this year, TBD. As far as getting excited about our young twin tower's, feel free to blubber like a baby, because they are HERE, and they are the real deal.Don't hold back, because you will not be disappointed. Pinch yourself like I did, you'll see you are not dreaming. We actually have two heavy weight big time stud offensive guys in the low post, who are good passers and rebounder's, and will get better defensively. Go to the summit of a hill and scream!!!
