Andrew Bogut

Andrew Bogut was probably the last person people expected for Dallas to land this summer. He wasn’t even a free agent. He got traded to the Mavericks after Kevin Durant went to Golden State.

Durant going to Golden State blessed the Mavericks with 2 starters from the team that made the NBA Finals the past 2 years. Andrew Bogut was one of them.

Bogut is the best center Dallas has had since Tyson Chandler, and there is reason to be excited. Dirk Nowitzki, for how great he is, lacks the defense. Andrew Bogut does not.

It will be a huge upgrade for a rim protector and should make the Dallas Mavericks a lot better on defense. This is something they really need with their lack of scoring ability.
