He also wants to make maximum use of Bogut's passing skills without denying
him the chance to be aggressive on offence.
"I don't want to take away his unselfishness. I think his passing is very
important and we're going to need his passing during the season," Stotts said.
"I don't want him to force his offense but I would like him to be a little
more aggressive looking to score. I think his scoring will set up his passing."
Bogut could make up to 26 million dollars over five seasons with the Bucks,
his agent said when the Aussie signed his contract in July.
France's Tony Parker and Argentina's Manu Ginobili will return to San
Antonio's backcourt as the Spurs, powered by US Virgin Islands forward Tim
Duncan, try to defend their NBA crown.
Canadian guard Steve Nash, last season's NBA Most Valuable Player, will spark
Phoenix into contention while Germany's Dirk Nowitzki ignites the Dallas
Mavericks and Peja Stojakovic powers Sacramento.
