The pride of Australia turned face of the Milwaukee Bucks seems to be lost this season. I have watched every game this year and one thing is for certain, Andrew Bogut is not his usual self.
There could be something wrong in his personal life which is why he seems to lose concentration during games. Bogut took a leave of absence earlier this year and traveled back to Australia. No one outside of the Bucks organization knows why he did this but it certainly could have an effect on him.
The following are Bogut’s statistics from 11 games this season compared to his career numbers.
