Bogut named to All-NBA 3rd Team

The Suns centre position was shared between Channing Frye who averaged 28 mins and Robin Lopez who averaged 20. Amar'e was exclusively used at the 4 and is listed on NBA.com as a forward.

How that makes him the 2nd best CENTRE in the game is beyond comprehension.

Duncan is just as bad, seemingly switching between the 4 and 5 depending on what works out best for him for all-star selections and awards, etc.

Anyway it's great recognition for Bogues. Good on him.

TBH, whilst Duncan was solid i dont believe he was All NBA team worthy.. thought Boozer had a much better season.

Simmons' solution doesn't make any sense at all.
First, he says that his problem is that Duncan is a centre, not a forward. Ok, fair enough.

Then, why on earth is the solution to order the "centres" Duncan, Stoudemire, Bogut???
If you're moving Duncan to the 2nd team because he's a centre, then you can't have Stoudemire be the centre on the 3rd team - he got more votes.

There's 4 possible situations:
1. Stoudemire is a C, Duncan is a PF
2. Both are C
3. Both are PF
4. Duncan is a C, Stoudemire is a PF

1 is the way the teams are now.
2 would result in Duncan missing out, as he would be the 4th ranked C
3 & 4 would both result in Bogut moving to 2nd team, Stoudemire to 3rd team and Gasol out

Note - they would only be the results if each team required 2 guards, 2 forwards and 1 centre. If it's just the 15 highest vote-getters, then they stay as they are. I would assume that this is actually the case, and is why Duncan/Gasol have been listed at F, while Stoudemire has been listed at C - to ensure there's no case of someone in the 3rd team getting more votes than someone in the 2nd team.

Excellent recognition of Bogut's achievements. I was really looking forward to the Bucks giving the playoffs a shake before his injury. They still did well to take the series to 7, but would have gone at least to the semis with Bogut.

Those three guys account for $30 million of their salary next season alone and yet all 3 are dead wood. However after next season, the Bucks can wipe them off their books. So realistically, they are just 1 more season away from being able to go after some decent free agents in the off-season.

Bogut should have been on the 2nd team. He WAS the 2nd best Centre in the league behind Howard in all aspects. I hate it when a dedicated PF like Amare gets moved into a different group to accomodate the likes of Nowitski.

Pick one or the other and move the other guy down to the 3rd team.

The Bogut/Jennings combo worked a treat this year. Bucks need to retain their starters; promte Illoysova over Mbah-a-Moute and palm of Michael Redd and Charlie Bell. Gadzuric needs to go and be replaced by a legitimate backup to Bogut.

Gortat anyone? (I wish).

I'm not saying you take anyone out ro that anyone was not worthy of being named - I just stated they were unlucky and asked as to whom was the most unlucky out of that lot! For what it's worth, I think Bosh was the unlucky one...

Guys like Chris Bosh, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo and Carlos Boozer missed placed in the teams as well. Who was the most unlucky to miss out?
