They should give his a retro-active All Star berth as well :-)
There might not be time left in the season for him to do so, but Bogut is rapidly catching up to Dwight Howard for blocks per game leader. Bogut is now over 2.5 bpg.
He also has moved to seventh in rebounds per game. Bogut is ranked 46th in scoring and ranked 8th in number of double-doubles for the season.
If you had the 2005 draft over again, you'd probably take only CP3 and Deron Williams in front of Bogut at the moment and that argument is getting closer all the time. Both CP3 and Williams have had a few troubling injuries which are concerning for players who rely on being quick. A guard loses a step in this league and it can be devastating pretty quick - especially for a very small player like CP3.
Bogut gets injuries he is still 7'+ and that by itself a NBA skill which could allow him to play in the NBA until he chooses not to just like players like Mutombo, Moses Malone, Shaq, Kareem, Tree Rollins and a variety of other experienced, slowed down by age centers have... He may not be the impact player he is now, but there is still a job for him.
Hell, Adonal Foyle is still in the league and he was slow and limited when he entered the league and he has somehow carved out a 12 year career watching NBA games. He has NEVER averaged 6ppg, he has 1575 personal fouls compared to 2989 total points and 3461 rebounds. He is a career 50% free throw shooter and he has almost twice as many career turnovers as he does assists.

The title says it all, Bogut's season gets better a better as the season goes on. At this rate he might just been looking at some All-NBA honours by the end of the season!
Next up for the Bucks is the Clippers. Bogut normally plays well after rest, and they will have had 3 days off before this contest.
