Andrew Bogut sat 50 games last season, but when he was healthy, Bogut demonstrated tremendous chemistry with Steph Curry. Bogut sets monster (illegal) screens, clearing wide swathes for Curry to attack or, more often, pull-up. Bogut is not particularly fast or athletic, but he is a determined roll man with great hands who can dunk on the move, from a standstill or finish an alley-oop. In their haste to contain Curry, the Wizards left themselves exposed to Bogut (10 points, all emphatic). When they adjusted for that, Curry put them out of their misery.
