Keith Ramon Bogans (born May 12, 1980) is an American professional basketball player for the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League. He played college basketball for Kentucky.

High school and college career

Bogans attended DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, and was an All-American first team honoree in his senior year. He was coached by Morgan Wootten, leading DeMatha to a 34–1 record and a number three national ranking in 1999. He was recruited by the University of Kentucky, and was a four-year starter for the Wildcats under coach Tubby Smith. In his senior year at UK, he led the 2002–03 Wildcats to a 16–0 sweep of the Southeastern Conference and the SEC Tournament title, finishing with an Elite Eight run in the NCAA Tournament. He was an All-American as a college senior when he averaged 15.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.2 steals. He was also 80-for-209 from three point range. His illustrious collegiate career ended as he limped off the court at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, after playing the game on a severely sprained ankle. The Wildcats ended up losing to Dwyane Wade's Marquette squad in the Elite 8.

On September 26, 2014, Bogans was inducted into the University of Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame.[1][2]

Professional career

Orlando Magic

Bogans with the Magic

Bogans was chosen in the second round with the 43rd pick in the 2003 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks, but was traded to the Orlando Magic on draft day. Bogans started in half of the games he played in his rookie season, averaging 6.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.

Charlotte Bobcats

The Magic traded Bogans to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for Brandon Hunter on November 1, 2004. Bogans continued his development as a player for the Bobcats in the 2004–05 season, starting in 42 of his 76 games and averaging 9.6 points per game.

Houston Rockets

On February 9, 2006, Bogans was traded to the Rockets for Lonny Baxter. Interestingly, Chuck Hayes and Gerald Fitch, Bogans' former teammates at the University of Kentucky, along with himself, were all at one point members of the Rockets (although Fitch never actually played as he was released).

Second stint with Orlando

Bogans re-signed with the Magic in July 2006 as a free-agent.[3]

On November 22, 2008, Bogans, starting his first game[4] of 2008–09 season, broke his thumb on his non-shooting hand in a game against the Houston Rockets.[5] He was expected to miss 4–6 weeks.[5] However, he had the cast on his thumb removed on December 3[6] and [7] returned two days later on December 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, scoring 9 points in 26 minutes.[8][9]

Milwaukee Bucks

On February 5, 2009, Bogans was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks for guard Tyronn Lue and cash.[10][11] Bogans played only 29 games for the Bucks before leaving. In those 29 games Bogans averaged 6.0 points per game.

San Antonio Spurs

Bogans signed with the San Antonio Spurs in September 2009.[12] During the 2009–10 regular season with the Spurs, Bogans scored a season-high of 17 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 13, 2010.[13] Bogans only played one season with the Spurs. He played 79 games and started in 50 games.

Chicago Bulls

Bogans signed with the Chicago Bulls on August 11, 2010.[14] During the 2010-11 regular season, Bogans was a starter for the Bulls, and averaged 4.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 82 games. Though his statistics were considered modest for a starter, coach Tom Thibodeau praised Bogans' defense, saying "If he's guarding you, you know he's guarding you. He's going to make you work. He's a physical player." Bogans said about his offense that people "need to understand that's not why I'm here. I'm on the floor with Luol (Deng), Derrick (Rose), Carlos (Boozer)... there aren't a lot of shots for me and [reserve center] Kurt (Thomas)."[15]

On March 15, 2011, Bogans scored a season-high 17 points in a win against the Washington Wizards to help the Bulls secure the top-seed of the Eastern Conference.[16]

Bogans also scored 15 points in the fifth game of the first playoff series against the Indiana Pacers where the Bulls guaranteed their pass to the second round.[17] The Bulls made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost to the Miami Heat. Bogans played and started in all postseason games.[18]

On December 9, 2011, facing a $1.73 million option for 2011–12, the Bulls called Bogans off the court minutes before the first practice of the NBA season. The Bulls decided to hold out as long as they could regarding their decision on Bogans' contract, because they were waiting to see how the rest of the market for shooting guards was.[19] On December 16, 2011, Bogans was waived by the Bulls.[20]

New Jersey / Brooklyn Nets

On February 1, 2012, Bogans signed with the New Jersey Nets.[21] Bogans was injured contesting a dunk by Detroit Pistons forward Greg Monroe on February 8, 2012, tearing a deltoid ligament. He was waived by the team on February 14, 2012, after playing five games.[22]

On July 19, 2012, he re-signed with the Nets for the 2012–13 season.[23] Bogans played in 74 games in 2012–13, starting in 23 of them. He averaged 4.2 points per game.

Boston Celtics

On July 12, 2013, Bogans was signed and traded to the Boston Celtics as part of a blockbuster deal that sent Celtics stars Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry to the Nets.[24] On January 14, 2014, he was excused from the team indefinitely due to personal reasons.[25]

Philadelphia 76ers

On September 25, 2014, Bogans was traded, along with two future second-round picks, to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for John Lucas III, Erik Murphy, Dwight Powell, Malcolm Thomas and the Cavaliers' 2016 and 2017 second-round picks.[26] Two days later, he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, along with a 2018 second-round pick, in exchange for a 2015 protected second-round pick.[27] On October 7, 2014, he was waived by the 76ers.[28]

In July 2015, Bogans joined the Portland Trail Blazers for the 2015 NBA Summer League.[29] At age 35, he was the oldest player at the tournament, but he averaged just 0.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in four games.[30]

Westchester Knicks

On January 29, 2016, Bogans was acquired by the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League.[31] He made his debut for Westchester later that night in a 128–117 loss to the Sioux Falls Skyforce, recording two rebounds in 12 minutes.[32]
