Is Bolden a liability in terms of being an offensive threat right now or he is just not getting any opportunities within the scheme of the offense? 2 shots and 0 points in the time he played is very underwhelming. I know it's his first year and he's going to be highly inconsistent on that end, but you'd at least hope for some hustle/finishing points on a bad night.

I actually think he plays incredibly well within the confines of the offense as a passer. Threw some good interior passes, one of which was to Butler posting up on an island. I just think fast break opportunities didn't present themselves much for him today. I still think his potential on offense is quite high.

He air-balled essentially the same shot shortly after. Ben's got some work to do, but nice to see a few more shots going up. I think he needs more face-up looks though. He takes too many turnaround fades.

I definitely think he has talent on that end. Always had a good feel as passer. Hopefully he progresses over time offensively.

Dedmon (Hawks) would be a very nice add

In all seriousness it wouldn't be the dumbest thing to sign Bogut for the second half of the year. Defensive beast, anchor, shot blocker.

He's vocal and demanding on defence and would give an elite 12mpg. He also would be ideal to have next to Bolder to reach him how to play interior defence the real no short cuts way... Might be good for Ben too... There is respect there. ... Bogut also knows Brett Brown well as a coach.. Through national duty I believe...

Bogut is firmly established back home now. He is on a multi year deal I'm pretty sure with no NBA out clause and has a ownership stake down the road. He is 0 chance of coming back now.

Pretty sure that Australian season ends before we would need him.... And guaranteed Bogut makes that call in a off-season

Sixers had Bogut for a minute in the Nerlens Noel trade. He had no interest in playing here then, and BC waived him.

He's playing 30mpg at the moment and putting up 11.3ppg (57%), 12.5rpg, 3.8apg, 2.9bpg.

In a lesser league.... Sure... but I think we all know Bogut would give elite defence, rim protection, rebounds, post passing and leadership, for the time Joel is resting. If... He was fit.... And he is.

Bogut is in a different league to Dedmon.

I'll take Dedmon 10/10 times over Bogut, sorry.

For 12min a game Dedmond will cost 6M.

Bogut would cost and the minimum.

Is there that much difference?
