Shout out to Bogdan for making 2nd all rookie team. I think Bogi can bring his game to another level this year. Kings will need it too. Who ever they get in draft. They are not going to turn the team around this year. They must play and win more games or it will be trouble!

Fans Also Had Reactions Towards De’Aaron Fox Not Making Any of the Two All-Rookie Teams As Well

Final Thoughts
Being granted a spot in the All-Rookie second team was a good way to cap off what was a solid season for Bogdanovic. In the 78 games he played, Bogi averaged 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while making 44.6% of his shots from the floor, 39.2% from the three-point line, and 84% from the free-throw stripe.
Not only were the numbers solid for Bogdanovic, but the eye test showed that he was an unselfish and instinctive player on the court who made the smart plays almost every time, in my mind.
Congrats on making the All-Rookie second team, Bogi! Kings fans cannot wait to see what you and the other young Kings can do next season!
