Early years

Bogut was born to Croatian immigrants in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. As a 15-year-old, he was cut from the Victoria junior state representative team. That experience apparently drove him to improve; he later went on to attend the Australian Institute of Sport. In his last season at AIS, he averaged 29 points and 14.5 rebounds. He went on to lead the Australian team that won the 2003 FIBA Junior World Championships, and was named the tournament MVP.

After his solid though unspectacular freshman season, he did not even receive honorable mention on the pre-season All-America team for the 2004-05 season. However, he had a true breakout season as a sophomore. Bogut averaged 20.4 points, 12.2 rebounds (second in Division I), 2.3 assists, and 1.8 blocks, and shot 62.0% from the field (eighth in Division I). He also led Division I in double-doubles, with 26.

Bogut's sophomore season in the league was cut short after spraining his left foot and being put on the injured reserve for the final 15 games. He had previously fought off any injury to play in 153 consecutive games.[1] He showed improvement in his second year in the league as he averaged 12.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. [2] Bogut is considered one of the best passing centers in the league, having averaged 3.0 a game in the 2006-07 season. His per 48 minute average of 4.2 was better than a number of point-guards, naturally expected to distribute the ball. Fans will be expecting further improvements in coming years, particularly in blocked shots and free throws if he is to live up to the expectations that come with being drafted number 1. The low point of his second season in the NBA came when he made an obscene gesture towards a home fan after being ejected from a game for a flagrant foul against the Toronto Raptors at the Bradley Center. The move would cost him $25,000.[3] The finger. ... The Toronto Raptors are a professional basketball team based in Toronto, Ontario. ...
