Keith Bogans is back. The New Jersey Nets signed guard Keith Bogans and waived small forward Larry Owens.

Because Keith is a very good defensive player, and a smart veteran player, it's surprising it took so long for him to find another job after he was cut by Chicago. The Bulls let him go when they signed veteran guard Rip Hamilton. They were looking for more offense.

The former UK star started every game for the Chicago Bulls last season, averaging 4.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in less than 18 minutes a game.

The 31 year old 6-foot-5 eight-year veteran holds career averages of 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

"Keith will give us defensive toughness and experience," says Nets general manager Billy King. "He will add depth and versatility to our perimeter."
