Philadelphia - In an attempt to breathe some life into an often stagnant offense, the Milwaukee Bucks unveiled a secret weapon Sunday in their victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Andrew Bogut the Australian scoring machine.

Working productively around the basket, Bogut scored a season-high 25 points. And that was no accident, since before that game coach Larry Krystkowiak had added a handful of plays to the team's repertoire that had Bogut's name on them.

And that was just fine with Bogut.

"It's good for my confidence knowing that the coach is trying to get me the ball," he said. "Even if I missed a couple shots, he still came back to me, which is a good sign."

Said point guard Royal Ivey, "Andrew played a great game."

It's not as if Bogut's offensive abilities are an unknown quantity, it's just that with the Bucks' perimeter-oriented attack, he doesn't get a chance to show them off very often.

The Bucks have been searching for ways to manufacture points - especially with guard Michael Redd sidelined with a thigh injury - and on Sunday, Krystkowiak decided to look more in Bogut's direction. The plan is to keep him involved in the offense.

"We're certainly going to do that," Krystkowiak said. "I think what's gone on in the past is we've have a couple of sets that throw it to Andrew and he hasn't been productive and we've kind of stopped. I think from a coach's perspective, you have to have confidence in your big guy and that's what I'm doing is instilling that in him, that we're going to keep coming at you."

Making a big impression

Yea I love Marv Albert and his 'yes!'

Hope they actually feed the ball down to Bogut in the post. I'd hate to hear this and then see him just calling for it in the post while Mo shoots up fadeaways..

I just saw that Zach Randolph is rumored to be on the trading block to Milwaukee. 2 word for you....NO THANKS! He would kill Bogut downlow and continue to be a cancer on teams. NO THANKS

Isn't that a hoopshype rumor? I can't imagine that happening. His contract is the pits.

Wow if that happens say goodbye to Bogut & Yi's development..
And it's not like either are great defenders either, particularly postup.
