I chided Bogut on Wednesday for his poor secondary percentage, but he's come a long way. Now that he's finally been able to say healthy for a full season, he's developing his arsenal of low-post jump hooks and rounding out the rough edges in his game. He's averaging a double-double on 55 percent shooting since Jan. 1, and crushing his career-high in PER; if we could redo the vote today he would almost certainly make the All-Star team.
While Bogut's offensive development has been impressive, his defensive transformation has been downright shocking, and isn't getting nearly the attention it should. Always a fierce, physical defender, he's picked up a knack for shot-blocking from nowhere. Bogut has increased his blocks average every month; his five rejections Wednesday night pushed his average to 2.4 per game, second only to Orlando's Dwight Howard -- and more than double his mark from last season. 2nd best center in the East besides Dwight Howard.
Andrew Bogut has made an incredible transformation from what he was just 2/3 years ago. He is now dominating games like he was supposed to out of Utah. He is seriously a jump shot away from becoming unstoppable.
