GERY WOELFEL Milwaukee Bucks coach Scott Skiles hasn't been bashful about moving players in and out of the lineup this season. Skiles has given the quick hook to virtually everyone on the team at one time or another. But the one player Skiles should just leave alone is center Andrew Bogut. Bogut is clearly the Bucks' best player and most productive one. For the season, the 25-year-old Bogut is averaging a double-double with 15.1 points and 10.4 rebounds. And that's while averaging just 32.8 minutes a game. When Bogut is given extended minutes, though, his production skyrockets and ranks right up there with the best players in the NBA. Look what Bogut has accomplished in the last five games in which he has played at least 40 minutes: -- Dec. 12, against Portland, Bogut played 44 minutes and scored 27 points, grabbed nine rebounds and had two blocked shots. -- Dec. 21, against Indiana, Bogut played 40 minutes and scored 31 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and had three blocked shots. -- Jan. 2, against Oklahoma City, Bogut played 40 minutes and totaled 23 points, 15 rebounds and two blocked shots. -- Jan. 8, against Chicago, Bogut played 42 minutes and finished with 27 points, 13 rebounds and six blocked shots. -- Jan. 18, against Houston, Bogut played 45 minutes and wound up with 18 points, 17 rebounds and six blocked shots. Do the math, and you'll discover that in those five games where Bogut stayed on the floor for most of the game, he averaged a whopping 25.2 points, 14.4 rebounds and 3.8 blocked shots. One other thing: In those five games, the Bucks posted a 4-1 record.
