Player #3: Bogdan Bogdanovic

After a promising rookie season, Bogdan Bogdanovic is making strides in his sophomore campaign. In 39 games, Bogdan is averaging around 15 points, four assists, four rebounds, and one steal a game while making around 44% of his shots from the floor, 37% from the perimeter, and 80% from the free-throw line.

There is no doubt that Bogdanovic has been one of the most valuable players for the Kings this season. Currently, their personnel does not consist of many reliable playmakers. All they really have is Bogdanovic and De’Aaron Fox, so Dave Joerger has had to heavily rely on Bogdanovic to facilitate the team’s second unit. So far, Bogdanovic has done a great job in fulfilling his role as he has been good at creating shots for himself and his other teammates.

As for the defensive side of the ball, Bogdan has been solid as well. He may not be the most athletic guy, but his length and basketball IQ have helped him give his opponents fits from time to time.

light. Hot. Six moves the Kings could make at the trade deadline

Overall, Bogdan has been a great asset to the Kings. Through his play, he definitely has proven to be a valuable asset to the team’s rotation as he is a very skilled and intuitive player.
