McDonald: Spurs' Bogans relishing his role

[Spursmania]

Best surprise of the season. Jefferson = worst surprise.

You are so right. I'm still hoping for a break through from Jefferson though, and still expect to see him give us a lot more. Just a matter of time (I hope)...

Actually, the people that were skeptical about Bogans had good reason to assume the worst, myself included..you had to consider Hairston's emergence and the fact that Bogans has been a below average offensive player his entire career..

This Keith Bogans we're getting right now is NOWHERE NEAR the same guy that has been in the NBA this entire time..

his previous career high in FG% for a season was 41%..this year he's shooting 49.5%, which is a MONSTROUS increase..he's shooting 40% from 3s, his highest ever, and this was with a massive slump that he went through for a few weeks..his TS% is almost 10% higher than his previous high..

this is the best Orating he's had WHILE having the best Drating he's ever had..

Who knows how the season will turn out, but I can say that nobody expected Bogans to be this good, not even the Spurs front office..it wouldn't have made any sense for anybody to believe he could be this good for us, nothing in the past indicated it..

It's kind of scary that he might just have found a perfect spot for himself in the NBA..

Write this on your phone?

I didn't watch much Spurs games.. but how is Bogans compared to Udoka?

[SPURSGOAT]

Ummm; where was his "great" D last night!? Taking the place of Bowen!?

[SenorSpur]

Bogans is a good defender but nowhere near Bruce especially at 6.5'

I can't help but wonder how good our D would had been had we had them both for the vet's minimum.

Now THAT is a delicious thought.

We can't get near the elites playing D like we do now. Bogans is not enough.

True. It's not enough. Even with Bogans' stellar work on the perimeter, the Spurs are still weak there. That's precisely why I wish, like , the Spurs could've had a chance to select Nic Batum in last year's draft. Damn Rockets/Blazers.
