It is a 99.9% sure thing that the first name being called in the coming June 28 NBA Draft is Andrew Bogut, a 7 footer white Center from Utah. It seems that the Bucks, who own the first overall pick and desperately need help in the middle, will gamble on the Aussie big fella after all. The coming draft is consider a weak one, and Marvin Williams, a freshman from North Carolina, is widely regarded as the only potent threat to Bogut. However, with a relatively poor workout by Williams, words are that the Bucks have already decided to use the pick on the 2005 Naismith and Wooden awards winner born in Melbourne, Australia.
Here is an interview report disclosed in hoopshype.com:

Speaking of Big Aussie Center, anyone still remember Longley? Yes, Luc Longley, the starting Center for the invinciBULLS in mid 90s'. Hope that Bugut is far better than Longley anywhere... but I remember that Longley was picked early in 1991 draft as well (No. 7 overall, by Minnesota).
