By signing Andrew Bogut, the Golden State Warriors obtained a true rim-protecting center, a type of big they didn’t have prior to Bogut’s arrival.
Playing three years in the Bay during the early years of the Dubs dynasty, Bogut’s got an understanding of how to play alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. The addition of Kevin Durant will be new to the veteran, seven-foot big man.
However, Durant’s arrival in the Bay will have no impact of Bogut or his style of play. Bogut will be used in specialty situations for coach Kerr. He may be mainly used against lineups that feature rim-rolling big men like Clint Capela or Jusuf Nurkic.
