The Golden State Warriors have a plethora of players who can snatch a rebound on the defensive end of the floor and take it coast-to-coast for a bucket on the other end. Andrew Bogut is not considered one of those players. But alas, Bogut did just that during the third quarter of Sunday's contest versus the Detroit Pistons, going right around center Andre Drummond to speed past go and collect his two points.

Bogut started his third game in four contests with Golden State on Sunday, having come aboard after a successful season with the Sydney Kings in his native Australia. With DeMarcus Cousins currently on the shelf due to rest Sunday, Bogut remained amongst the starting five and displayed a whole new, unexpected addition to his arsenal.

The Warriors turned to an old friend when they needed depth at the center spot late in the 2018-19 year. Now in his fifth season overall with Golden State, Bogut, who has started 233 of the 240 games he has suited up in for the franchise, has averaged 6.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per contest while representing the Bay Area during his career.

How much of a role he plays on the remainder of the season is still to be determined once Cousins is fully back in the fold, but ruling out anything resembling productivity as it pertains to Bogut seems short-sighted. The Warriors will be looking to capture their fourth title in five years come this postseason, with Bogut looking to tag alone for his personal ring No. 2.
