Thread: Bogans is making me think different about him.

Especially with his versatility. He keeps us from having to carry another PG. And as for trade bait . . . trade bait to get which player(s) back in return? I can't think of a player we could get back for Mason who would bring more to the table....

I've been pleasantly surprised with Bogans. He moves will out there and I didn't know he was a driver as well as a shooter. His defense has been solid and he is firing up the team at times. Finely has been lost the last few games because he hasn't been able to keep up and his defense has been lacking. So it will interesting to see if Bogans can keep it up. I was a good game tonight, there was some nice highlights. I don't...

I KNOW RJ is our biggest and Mcdyess was talked about as well, then we drafted Blair too. I think I know why Pop picked up this guy now, he is seriously with time going to be a surpise and a player IMO, especially on D! Was that our sleeper pickup out of all of them?

Don't underestimate the Spurs FO.

After one good game? I'll start thinking differently about Bogans after 20 games. $

Whether or not he keeps it up, he is extremely athletic. Defensively, I think he can keep it up. And the man can jump out of the gym if anyone hadn't noticed.

Bogans should definitely be the starter - his shot will not always be what it was last night but his effort defensively is consistent and he had some really nice d on Howard, Terry, and Kidd - I wish he was 3 inches taller but hes the closest thing to a 2006-2007 Bowen on the roster The other thing is if Bogans cements his starting status certainly makes a trade of Mason or Finley more likely

He seems like what we expected when we got Udoka. A very aggressive defender (not as good as Bruce) but better offensively. Lets hope he keeps it up...his physicality and toughness was great to see (plus hearing him yell "GET THAT $%#& OUT OF HERE" when he rejected Marion was awesome).
