Nice piece. I think that Gooden and Bogut will be talked about come playoff time as one of the best frontcourt tandems out there. They are both better than average at their respective positions, but have never really had a better than average person to play with next to him. Should be good stuff.

I wonder if the addition of Gooden on defense will help or hurt Bogut’s blocked shots average? Theoretically, it could go up since Gooden’s presence will buy Bogut a few extra precious seconds to allow him to rotate and help. But its possible it we’ll see a decline in Bogut’s blocks because of spacing issues. Last year he was able to roam freely without Gooden standing in his way. Ultimately, I would be happy to see Bogut’s blocks go down if the team defense rating goes up.
