comparing him to Duncan is a joke, don't compare him to a MVP player. He is more like Brad Miller his O and his passing is alot like MIller.

Why exactly is comparing him to Duncan a joke?

Oh no doubt. People underrate how good Divac was in his prime, so I kind of question people making the comparison, because I don't think those people are really considering the potential Divac entered the league with. And if you got Divac in the draft in this day and age, you would be doing very well.

That's the most ludicrous thing I've heard in this thread.

Well... Bogut does play a bit like Duncan... but Duncan is an MVP so I guess its only fair to compare him to... Shawn Bradley because hes white?

I love race based comparisons! There are 30 starting centers in the league and who does Ha get compared to? Yao of course. Hinrich is a successful white point guard, who should we compare him to? Stockton even though their games aren't really similar at all.

Bogut is better than Kaman who is better than Mihm.

I think the best comparison would be Alvin Adams, who was a great high post center in his day. But that was quite awhile ago.

You didn't answer my question? Vlade certainly has post skills, he certainly has great hands, he was more athletic than Duncan (or so you say) why was he never half the player TD was?

Divacs was not the smartest duck on the pond and lacked concentration. I still remember Magic berating him publicly for his lack of mental toughness. Something to the effect of Magic never having played with anyone that drives him as nuts as Divacs.

Think about it. What do ALL winners have in common? Jordan, Thomas, Duncan? All very different players. They were all mentally tough!! If Bogut has the mental toughness and concentration he will do great with his skill set.
