Bogi helps keep getting better.
After a successful season in the Euroleague, the No.8 has fulfilled Sacramento since his arrival in 2017.
In his first crusade with the Kings, Bogdanovic averaged 11.8 points, 3.3 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 78 games (53 of which had him in the starting lineup) as he showed the same versatility and reliability that enthusiasts had accustomed to his time at Fenerbahca..
A forged NBA first season also earned him a place on the All-Rookie team of the moment in 2018.
In the year, Bogi’s improvement continued as he progressed in all areas, expanding his averages to 14.1 points, 3.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds consistent with the start.
Although he played eight games less than in his rookie campaign, Bogi hit more than 3 problems in his current season (134) than in the first year (129), adding a long-range bucket that marked his decision in the Kings-Lakers rivalry with an unforgettable resonant hitter.
Now, with three seasons in the league on the books, Bogi’s game continues to be more polished, while his score average in 2019-20 has risen to the top of his career of 15.1 problems consistent with the game, also for the team’s third-highest level.
The Kings escort also fired 2.7 triples consistent with the game, only at a time when his friend Buddy Hield.Bogdanovic also increased his center-consistent shot percentage to 37.2% after falling to 36% last season.
The way he played No.8 also remained strong during the third year, as he had the third highest percentage to give a team hand (18) and the lowest turnover percentage (11.1) among players who accumulated at least 1500 minutes of play.
Among his teammates, Bogdanovic finished fifth in the win percentage, a metric designed to estimate the number of wins a given player adds to his team, with 3.1.
“Bogi is an important component of what we do,” Hield said in December. “It shows how much he loves to play and how he is there.”
While the season’s stats show an improvement, it’s even clearer than the 28-year-old in Orlando has completed.
After the restart of the NBA, Bogdan bet his most productive basketball to date.
Of the 8 games the Kings have played in Florida, the Serbian swingman has averaged 19.6 points, 4.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals, while reaching a rate of 44.3% beyond the arc.
In the Sacramento game opposite the Dallas Mavericks in August, Bogdan struggled to find a rhythm as he ended up with three problems after being 1 of 15 on the field.
Despite the backhand, Bogdanovic recovered in the next outing of the team, accumulating a career record of 35 out of thirteen out of 20 numbers from the area and six triples against the New Orleans Pelicans.
“Sometimes the player that Bogi is, to be a team boy first, is for him to shoot the ball,” Fox told NBC Sports’ James Ham. “We know we have a lot of guys on this team that can put the ball in the basket. But when you have guys like that, they care about each other, I think that makes things less difficult for others.
A pass in the team’s final stretch put an exclamation point in the Kings’ already forged campaign.
Among NBA players in all 8 qualifying games, Bogdanovic ranked fourth in all 3 tracks (27), 11th in cash targets (60), overall issues (157) and 21 in assists (38).
With season to his credit, No.8 has much to do to continue his rise within the Association.
