Last night, if you just looked at his raw box score numbers, you'd think he was crap. But anyone who watched the game saw Bogut dominating by the other team just giving up on challenging him. Gasol hardly went into the lane, and usually only if Bogut wasnt on him. Randolph was a shell of himself and Bogut switched onto him often.
Not to mention how important Boguts screen setting and passing are. He was something like +26 last night, and that was mostly against their starters.
You crazy man
One game is too small a sample size, but that's beside the point. Bogut has not done enough this season to earn his bread. He's had very few good games. Where are the dub-dubs?
As for playoff games, he's played a grand total of 12 games for GSW and 327 mins which is less than backup PG Jarrett Jack in 2012.
Grant it that Whiteside has not had the competition of Bogut, but neither has Bogut been pressed for his starter's job by someone like Whiteside.
We have been looking for a backup for Bogut so long that the best backup could be Bogut himself. Try and get Whiteside and start Whiteside. That strategy is not crazy at all.
