Our chances without bogut?!?
Without Bogut Brett Brown will get exposed as the ordinary coach he is.

Brett Brown is smooth & if he cant get Milwaukee to let Bogut play we should find another coach. He's in the NBA system & should be able to pull strings but if he cant - not good! The guy is a very ordinary coach!

I don't necessarily agree with the team listed above (for mine, Neilsen and Maric both make the team whether Bogut plays or not), but without Bogut, we still have plenty of good centre's to pick from.
Centres or centre/forwards in line to play for the Boomers apart from Bogut include:
- David Andersen
- Aleks Maric
- Nathan Jawai
- Luke Nevill
- AJ Ogilvy
- Aron Baynes
- Luke Schenscher
All of the above are quaslity players, and apart from Andersen, all are young and promising talents. So the future at this position is assured.
However Bogut is our best player, and provides a genuine inside presence that will hopefully allow the Aussies to play an inside-outside game. Other teams will also focus on stopping Bogut, and this attention should also help free up others.
Take Pau Gasol out of Spain (he is not playing in the WC's), and I would argue they are not as good either.
A top 8 finish is within reach with Bogut in the side, and there is an outside shot at the medal round. I feel that without Bogut's presence, the Boomers may find it tough to finish in the top 8.
