I was being facetious.
I think Boguts offensive game suffered the most because Skiles kept on setting him up on the low post. Bogut is much more effective at the high and it was dissapointing to see that he didn't seem to have a successful game at the low.
This is pretty much right on the money. I've actually asked Bogut why he shoots the mid-range jumper when playing for the Aussie National Team, but not in the NBA. If anyone watched the last olympics, and i believe many here will recall, bogut was nailing three's with regularity. He's basically been asked to play on the low post as part of skiles offensive schemes. He also feels that it's the element of his game that is most effective in the NBA.
So he can hit the mid-range jumper, just chooses to fit within the teams offensive schemes. If anything, bogut is a team first guy, stats second and that's probably why he hasn't been producing more on the offensive end as well.
