I don't really care what you feel, because your feelings (and the age argument) do nothing to address the fact that the cold, hard numbers show that Bogut has a simile game. I also never claimed that Bogut would be Chandler 2.0 or even 1.0, but they are similar.
The fact is, Bogut has a very similar game and impact when on the court. He's a defensive guy who will score inside and pull down some boards. I'm well aware of the age (Chandler has gotten old too), but in 20-25 min he's going to be solid and have the sort of impact that Tyson had in a similar manner. That style of game really works for us-- more so than the type of game Zaza had.
Will he win us a championship? No way this squad Gets out of the second round. Will he play 40mpg? Let's hope not. Will he have Chandler-like production in his minutes out there? The numbers say yes.
