I’ve always been a big fan of Bojan Bogdanovic. Despite the fact that Bojan and Bogdan are unrelated, I love both of their games. I was hoping the Spurs would try to snatch one up for the team. They both fit in perfectly: long, shooter, and foreign. However, today we’re focusing on just one Bogdanovic; Bojan, or the better Bogdanovic. He’s quietly having the best season of his career and is underrated.
Bojan Bogdanovic Stats
Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 21.1 PPG on 45.2% shooting, 2 APG, and 4.1 RPG. His 21.1 PPG is 2nd on the teams, only behind Donovan Mitchell. Although his assists and rebounds production is identical to last year, his PPG has increased by 3 points. That’s a respectable jump considering 18 PPG is solid. The year before, he’s made sizable improvements from then till now. 2 years ago, he averaged 14.3 PPG, 1.5 APG, and 3.4 RPG. Although, it’s not a big jump from his assists and rebounds, it’s impressive that he’s increased his PPG total by 6.8 in only 2 years. That’s enough to turn heads for anyone.
I’ve loved this Jazz team since the beginning of the season. Before the season started, I had this Jazz team at 2nd in the Western Conference when it was all said it done. As of right now, they are in that 2nd seed, so even if they don’t end up there, my prediction is pretty close. What I did not expect was Bojan Bogdanovic to make as much as of an impact for this Jazz team.
I expected the triad of the ideal center in Rudy Gobert, the scorer in Donovan Mitchell, and the facilitator in Mike Conley to bring this team to the 2nd seed. However, I knew that having as deep of a team the Jazz have, I knew Bojan would be important. Bojan Bogdanovic will be a key reason if my prediction for the Jazz as the 2nd seed will be true or not. He deserves praise because he’s the proven second option for the Jazz, we’ll see how far they go.
