With all the arrest news of former UK basketball players of the last couple of days, it’s finally nice to hear some great news concerning one of UK’s finest. Keith Bogans was recently told that he would be the starting shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls this season.
With all the UK players now actively playing in the NBA, I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger on the NBA League pass.. What do you think?

[QUOTE=ESPN.com]”He’s just been solid,” Thibodeau said. “He’s done all the things we expected of him. He’s a very good defensive player, spreads the floor so he can shoot the 3. He’s a tough competitor. He’s earned it.”
Bogans beat out [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=2991″]Ronnie Brewer[/URL], who suffered from a hamstring injury during the preseason.
“It surprised me, too,” Bogans said. “But, like I said, I came in I worked hard and no matter if I come off the bench or if I start, I’m going to still play the same way.”
“I think Keith is somebody who understands Thibs’ system,” [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3224″]Joakim Noah[/URL] said. “He’s played for him before [in Houston], and he’s a vet who understands what it takes to win and I enjoy playing with him.”
