New on SI: Former No. 1 Pick Andrew Bogut Retires After 14 Seasons

-

Bogut was named to the All-NBA third team in 2010, five years before he won his first championship with the Warriors.

Former No. 1 pick and NBA champion Andrew Bogut

announced his retirement on his podcast on Monday.

Bogut was selected out of Utah with the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. He played for five teams across 14 seasons, most recently playing 11 games for the Warriors in 2018-19. 

The Australian center never made an All-Star team in his NBA career, though he retires with an impressive career resume. Bogut earned All-NBA third-team honors in 2009-10, and he was an All-Defense honoree in 2014-15. He appeared in three Finals, winning the championship with Golden State in 2015.

Bogut was the fifth international player to be selected No. 1 overall. Fellow Australian Ben Simmons was drafted with the top pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
