NBL EXPERIENCE

Andrew Bogut made his NBL debut with the Sydney Kings at 33 years of age. He scored six points in his first game.

Sydney entered the 2018-19 season with high expectations after making several key signings, including Andrew Bogut, who returned to Australia after 14 seasons in the NBA, including winning an NBA championship in 2015 with Golden State.

The Kings were the first team to take advantage of the NBL’s newly established Next Stars program, signing highly touted prospect Brian Bowen, a McDonald’s All-American who opted to play in the NBL to develop his skills for the NBA Draft. Other key additions included Jerome Randle, David Wear (via Spain), Deng Deng (via Big V – McKinnon), Kyle Adnam (via Melbourne), and Tom Wilson (via Melbourne).

Bogut, who had initially agreed to sign with Melbourne until a breakdown in negotiations saw him ink a two-year deal with Sydney that also included future ownership options, a unique factor in securing his signature.

Bogut (11.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.7 blocks) made an immediate impact on both ends of the floor, anchoring the Kings’ defense while being an efficient facilitator on offense. At the conclusion of the regular season, Bogut was named the NBL’s Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year, and earned All-NBL First Team honors. He led the league in rebounds and blocks, proving to be the dominant force many expected. Bogut’s presence helped the Kings finish third in the regular season with an 18-10 record, returning the team to the playoffs for the first time since 2013.

In the playoffs, Sydney faced Melbourne United in the semifinals. In Game 1 (95-73), Bogut struggled to find his rhythm, contributing 7 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 blocks as the Kings were overwhelmed by Melbourne’s depth and physicality. Casper Ware (22 points, 7 assists) and DJ Kennedy (20 points, 7 rebounds) led the charge for Melbourne, while Kevin Lisch (13 points) and Jerome Randle (13 points) provided some scoring for the Kings.

In Game 2 (90-76), Bogut bounced back with a strong performance, recording a double-double with 10 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists. Despite this, Melbourne’s Casper Ware (30 points, 5 rebounds) and Chris Goulding (23 points, 4 rebounds) once again led their team to victory, eliminating Sydney from the playoffs.

At the conclusion of the NBL season, Bogut returned to the NBA, signing with the Golden State Warriors in March 2019 for the remainder of the season and playoffs.

2019/20
In Bogut’s second year with the Kings he helped them win the minor premiership with a first-place finish and a 20–8 record. He was named to the All-NBL Second Team. The Kings would reach the NBL Finals and face the Perth Wildcats, however the series was scrapped due to Covid before a winner could be decided.

Bogut had two surgeries throughout 2020, one to remove a bone spur in his ankle and the other to help with sciatica in his lower back. Shortly after Bogut announced his retirement from basketball, citing numerous injury issues as the main reason.

Andrew Bogut played two seasons the Sydney Kings. He averaged 9.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3 assists in 60 NBL games.

CAREER RANKINGS:
– 27th in blocks per game.

FIBA EXPERIENCE

Bogut was named the MVP of the 2003 FIBA Junior World Championships in Greece. During that tournament, he led Australia to a gold medal while putting up averaging 26.3 points, 17.0 rebounds 2.5 assists and 1.5 blocked shots per game.

Bogut began training with the Australian Olympic team immediately after his success in the junior world championships in 2003.

With Australia looking to rebound from losing to New Zealand and missing out on the 2002 World Championships, Phil Smyth was replaced as head coach by Brian Goorjian who immediately convinced Shane Heal to return to the national program (he had retired after the 2000 Olympics) and build the team around teenage big man Andrew Bogut. In his first Olympics Bogut (13.7 points, 9 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks) was the teams starting centre and leading rebounder while Heal (16.7 points and 3.5 assists) would lead the team in scoring and assists. Due to the teams inexperience, the Boomers (1-5) lost to every team in their pool bar Angola, missing the quarterfinals. Australia would then defeat New Zealand, 98-80, to determine who finished the tournament in ninth place.

In 2006, Bogut played for Australia at the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan. The Boomers started the tournament with a opening victory over Brazil (83-79) but then lost their next three games in a row. Bogut (12.8 points and 6.2 rebounds) led the team in points and rebounds and helped the team deliver a convincing win over Qatar (93–46) which qualified the team for the second round. Their poor record (2-3) saw them draw USA who soundly defeated Australia (113-73) and ended their campaign tied for ninth place.

Bogut also represented Australia at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where the Boomers defeated Iran, Russia and Lithuania to narrowly advance through to the second round. Due to their poor record (3-2) they would draw #1 ranked USA (5-0), who had earned the moniker of "The Redeem Team" and featured Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade. Despite a 20 point effort from Boomers debutant Patty Mills, Australia would lose to USA with Kobe Bryant (25 points) finishing as the game high scorer. The loss would see the Boomers finish in seventh place, their highest finish since 2000.

Bogut was unable to play in the 2012 Olympics or the 2014 FIBA World Cup due to injuries.

Bogut returned to the Boomers for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro where he was named team captain. Alongside Patty Mills (21.3 ppg and 1.7 apg) and Aron Baynes (9.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg), who would lead the team in scoring, Bogut (9.1 ppg, 5.1 rpg, and 3.6 apg) helped Australia reach the semi finals for the first time since 2000. There, Australia would lose to Serbia (61-87) setting up a bronze medal game against Spain. In a game where Australia would be forced to play without Andrew Bogut for the entire second half due to foul trouble and a number of controversial referee calls at the end of the game, Spain was able to gain control of the ball for the final play, giving the Boomers no choice but to foul. Spains Sergio Rodriguez made two free throws with 5.4 seconds left and the Boomers lost (88-89) to finish in fourth-place (equalling Australias best-ever finish in the Olympics).

Bogut returned to play for the Boomers as part of the 2019 FIBA World Cup squad. In their opening pool, Australia was able to win all three games, defeating Canada (92–108), Senegal (81–68) and Lithuania (87-82). Behind the high scoring of Patty Mills (22.8 ppg), Aron Baynes (11.4 ppg) and Joe Ingles (10.5 ppg), the Boomers continued through the second round undefeated, notching up wins against Dominican Republic (82-76) and France (100-98). A victory of Czech Republic (82-70) in the Quarter-finals saw the Boomers face Spain in the semifinals in a rematch of the previous years Olympics bronze medal game. Spain trailed for much of the game but surged in the fourth quarter and took the lead 71-70 when Pau Gasol hit two free throws with 8.7 seconds to play in regulation. Mills had two free throws to win the game with 4.8 seconds to play, but he missed the second after making the first to send the game into overtime (71-71). Both teams had chances to win in regulation and in the first overtime, which ended 80-80. It was two 3-point shots by Llull in the second overtime that pushed Spain to one of its largest leads of the game to defeat Australia (95-88) and advance to the gold medal game against the USA. Australia would face lose to France in the bronze medal game (67–59).

NBA EXPERIENCE

Andrew Bogut was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks with pick #1 in the 2005 NBA Draft.

In 2005, Bogut became the first Australian to be selected with the first pick in the NBA draft. In his first NBA season Bogut earned All-Rookie First Team honours and finished third in votes for the NBA Rookie of the Year Award (won by Chris Paul). He played in all 82 regular season games his rookie season with Milwaukee, averaging 9.4 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.

Since then Bogut has had an injury-marred career. In his second season in the NBA he sprained his left foot and missed the final 15 games. He played only 36 games for the Bucks in 2008/09 due to a stress fracture in his lower back, he suffered a strained ligament and bruise in his left leg in 2010 and then suffered the most horrific of his injuries Bogut when he made contact with Phoenix big man Amare Stoudamire on a dunk attempt, resulting in him breaking his hand, dislocating his elbow and spraining his wrist. These injuries kept him out of the remainder of the 2009/10 season and have affected his mobility and skill level ever since.

Despite this, the “Bogeyman” became one of the top defensive centres in the NBA throughout his career. It’s this defensive presence that has allowed Australia to remain one of the elite basketball nations on the international stage. Boguts best NBA season was in 2009/10 when he took the Bucks to a 46–36 record and their first NBA playoff berth since 2006. He finished with averages of 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game and was named to the All-NBA Third Team. Bogut was traded to the Golden State Warriors in 2012 where he helped them win an NBA championship in 2015.

Andrew Bogut was traded to the Dallas Mavericks on July 7, 2016 in a move that created salary-cap space for the Warriors to sign superstar Kevin Durant. Bogut would play half a season in Dallas before being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 2, 2017 where he was injured in his first game. Bogut would miss the remainder of the season with the injury and sign with the LA Lakers as a free agent in September 2017. After playing in 23 teams and Lakers and Bogut mutually parted ways. Despite having multiple NBA offers Bogut would retire from the NBA and signed a deal to play for the Sydney Kings in the NBL.

On 6 March 2019, after the conclusion of the 2018–19 NBL season, Bogut signed with the Golden State Warriors for the remainder of the 2018–19 NBA season. His deal with the Warriors was allowed by the Kings with the condition that he honoured the second year of his two-year contract. The Warriors reached the 2019 NBA Finals, where they lost in six games to the Toronto Raptors.

Bogut played 682 games in the NBA. He averaged 9.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game over his NBA career.
