Andrew Bogut is an ideal center for Dallas. Too bad he’ll be gone next year.

Andrew Bogut is the latest candidate on a short-term contract to enter the revolving door of Mavericks starting centers. In the 17 seasons since Dirk Nowitzki has been a starter, Bogut will be the ninth (yes, NINTH) center to start more than half a season alongside Dirk.

Since 2011, when the Mavericks climbed to the NBA mountaintop and then promptly let Tyson Chandler go, Brendan Haywood, Chris Kaman, Samuel Dalembert, Chandler (for the second time), and Zaza Pachulia have all taken on the role of starting center in Dallas.
