The Utah center announced Mon day that he will forgo his final two years of eligibility to enter the draft, confirming what his coach, team mates and Utes fans have thought for a while. “I have no regrets and full-speed ahead,” the 7-footer from Australia said at a news conference Monday. Bogut — the leading vote-getter on the AP All-America team — averaged 20.4 points and 12.2 rebounds while leading the Utes to a 29-6 season, which ended with a loss to Kentucky in the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament. “I feel the time is right to move on to the next level of basketball,” Bogut said. Bogut has already hired agent David Bauman of SFX Basketball, making him ineligible to play again in college. Bogut plans to stick around Salt Lake City for a few weeks before heading to Washington, D.C., to be gin preparing for pre-draft workouts. Bogut considered leaving after last season when he was the Moun tain West Conference freshman of the year, but a visit to Australia from new Utah coach Ray Giacoletti con vinced Bogut to put off the NBA at least another year. Bogut is expected to be — at the very least — a lottery pick and possi bly the first player chosen overall. He led Utah in scoring and rebounding and is heralded as an exceptional ball handler and passer for a big man. “There hasn’t been one day when he hasn’t been our hardest worker,” Giacoletti said. “It’s all been about the team, and that’s very rare this day. ” Bogut is the second Utah sports star to choose an early departure this year. Quarterback Alex Smith, a Heisman trophy finalist last season, announced in January that he would skip his sen ior season to play in the NFL. Smith is also projected to go early in his draft, possibly as the No. 1 pick as well. Bogut recorded double-doubles in all but nine games this season and fin ished with at least 10 points and 10 re bounds 40 times in his Utah career. At just 20 years old, NBA scouts — fix tures at Utah games this season — are convinced he can only get better. Bogut was a starter on Australia’s Olympic team last summer and aver aged 14.8 points and 8.8 rebounds. Bogut knew before the season start ed that leaving would be a possibility, but it wasn’t until midway through it that he was really leaning toward the draft. However, he chose to keep quiet about it until the Utes’ run in the NCAA tournament was over. “I didn’t want to do anything to take the limelight away from the team. It’s just not fair,” Bogut said. Bogut was scheduled to join the Utes midway through the 2002-03 sea son, but had trouble getting cleared by the NCAA. While he could have gone pro right away in Europe or signed with another school because his com mitment to Utah expired during the de lay, Bogut kept his word, arriving in Salt Lake City in 2003.
