Well, as fate would have it, the Boys in Blue are now matched against those same Milwaukee Bucks in the first round, and we've asked Ty over at Bucks Diary to provide his list of five "keys to the series" for the Bucks. The results were off the script — which we'd expect from a blog described by those who know as a "Diary of a Mad Bucks Fan" — and that's exactly the reason we're readers of Bucks Diary.

But alas, it was an interesting comparison, which is why it caught our eye in the first place, and the numbers alone do provide reason for hope in 2006-07, which everyone seems to agree will be the true measuring stick for Bogut's development.

If you take away Wallace's 82 rookie attempts, he shot 51%, pretty much the same as Bogut this year. Plus Wallace was playing with Chris Webber (at least for a little bit) and Juwon Howard in his prime, not to mention Gheorge Muresan, who averaged 14.5 points and 9.6 boards that year. No one Bogut is playing with has put up nearly the same stats as Washington's other big men from that year, aside from Magliore on the boards. Plus, I think Bogut was drafted so high because it was thought he'd stick at center. He's just not nearly as valuable or unique as a power forward. Just my two cents. (As a Pistons fan, I'm admittedly a fan of Wallace, but I don't think I have any hidden biases for/against Bogut.)"
