NBA

Orlando Magic
Bogans was transferred to Orlando Magic on the day of the draft . In his first season he played 73 games, started 36 times and averaged 6.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. At the end of the season, the team had the worst record in the league.

Return to Orlando
On July 13, Orlando Magic announced that they had re-signed Bogans. After a weaker first season in Orlando, he was able to improve his statistics significantly in the second season. In both years the Magic made it into the NBA playoffs, but both times clearly had to admit defeat to the Detroit Pistons . In his first game as a starter in the 2008-09 season against the Houston Rockets, Bogans broke a thumb and was in danger of being out for 4-6 weeks. Still, he returned just two weeks later against the Oklahoma City Thunder .
Milwaukee Bucks
