Former NBA champion and three-time Olympian Andrew Bogut is making a return to basketball, but this time not as a player but as a coach for the Sydney Kings in the Australian National Basketball League. Bogut, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NBA draft, brings his elite basketball knowledge and experience to help lead the Kings towards a championship. Working alongside head coach Brian Goorjian, who has six NBL titles under his belt, Bogut's addition to the coaching staff is seen as a significant boost for the team's prospects.
After retiring in 2020 and becoming part owner of the Kings, Bogut's passion for the game has reignited his desire to be back on the court, this time in a coaching capacity. With a successful NBA career that included a championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2015, Bogut's basketball pedigree is second to none. His partnership with Goorjian, who he has previously worked with in the Australian national team setup, is expected to be a dynamic and effective combination that could propel the Kings to new heights in the upcoming season. Fans of the Kings and basketball enthusiasts alike will be eagerly anticipating the impact that Bogut will have in his new role as a coach.
