I still say if Bogut was "great" -- he would have gotten off the bench for a few minutes in the NBA Finals last year in the last 3 games vs. the Cavs. But he didn't.
Bogut is a role player, but he is great at what he does. Nobody ever said he is a "great player". There is a big difference. Bogut's role was not needed against the Cavs, so he did not play. That in no way is a knock on his ability.
For the record, Rodman was a role player also. He was a great role player, but a role player just the same.
Before you all go nuts, here is the definition of role player:
A player who plays a supporting role on his/her team and does it willingly. A role player can be a bench player or a starter who does a very specific job.
That is Rodman and Bogut.
