Is Bogans the next Bowen or just a upgraded Udoka?

Bogans isn't Bowen, not sure many players are the same tier defender Bowen was, but I'd have to say Bogans has really impressed me as his defense is nice and his offensive skills were much better then I thought.

Bench Bogans, start Hill. Hill is a better defender & all around player. When Parker needs a blow, move Hill to the point. Do it now Pop!

bogans might not shoot the three that well, but he's a better scorer than both bowen and udoka. he can take it off the dribble, unlike those other two.

You know, people always say "no one will ever be the next Jordan/Duncan/Magic/etc." but the same can be said about the best role players in NBA history. Replacing what Robert Horry, Steve Kerr, and Bruce Bowen bring perfectly is and always will be impossible.

But does that mean newer players won't be able to create their own legend? No. If everything goes right, Bogans, Hill, Blair, Mason, and Bonner will be remembered for what they did on their own merits, and not through comparisons with role players of years past.
