Player #1: Bogdan Bogdanovic

Boy, do the Sacramento Kings need Bogdan Bogdanovic to have a good year. After having a promising rookie season, Bogdan took a little dip during his sophomore campaign. Although the Serbian star did average around 14 points per contest, he was not as efficient on both ends of the floor compared to his rookie self.

When Bogdan entered his second year in the NBA, many thought that he was going to take that leap of improvement that De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield did. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

But with that said, there is hope that Bogdan will have a rebound year this upcoming season. With injuries and him playing out of his natural position contributing to his performance last season, that will not be the case this year due to the Kings adding more depth to their roster.

Bogdan has been a skillful and instinctive player throughout his NBA career, and there is a lot of optimism that he will continue to be that type of player for the Kings this season if he remains healthy.
