Andrew Bogut is back with the Golden State Warriors and All-Star power forward Draymond Green is excited to have his buddy back on the squad.

Bogut was part of the 2015 Warriors team which won the championship over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was always loved by the players in the locker room and his return to the club is coming at a good time considering the Dubs have been struggling on defense lately.

Bogut played in 236 games with the Warriors. The former No. 1 overall pick averaged 6.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game with Golden State while shooting 58.1 percent from the field.

DeMarcus Cousins has been struggling on defense with the Warriors, especially when he has been put in pick-and-roll situations. Adding Bogut gives the Dubs a veteran rim protector who is familiar with the system and isn't a liability on the defensive end of the floor.

Bogut was on the 2015 All-Defensive team. He's a low-maintenance player. The Warriors won't ever have to run a play for the 7-footer on offense. He does most of his damage on alley-oops and put-back dunks. Bogut and Cousins give the Dubs a nice one-two punch at the center position.

Golden State is 44-20 on the season after Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics. They still have the best record in the Western Conference.
