The Official Bogdan Bogdanovic Thread!

Tks man! Meanwhile I just found the Germany game and watched it.
Bogdan was OK, although his shot was not falling, he contributed in other areas nicely. He is definatley a smart player, I think he can be a valuable contributor right away when he comes over. Makes me excited for our new in a cpl years, with him and Booker we will have two legit sized gunners at the 2!

sidenote: Wolves got a real nice player in Bjelica - he will also give the Wolves young PFs a run for their money. I think we should look at them if we could do a 2 (+draftpick) for 1 with them with Kieff? Bennett, Payne+protected pick for Kieff?

Bjelica has been a BEAST in their first two games of the tournament. Great signing for Minnesota, he is a fantastic modern PF.
Bogdanovic is playing few minutes per game, but he is playing OK. Not impressive so far, hopefully his role is bigger in the next game.

After this EB, it'll be mission impossible to land Bjelica anytime soon. I had that dream of pairing him and Bogdan in purple in 2 years - national squad comrades, Fener teammates... It would've been marvelous for the Suns team chemistry, not to mention clicking with decent behavior and mind-on-the-court fellas like TJ, Book...

today Serbia has a day off. tomorrow early game against Iceland.
still some good games going on - Israel's meltdown to Bosnia today was epic. if anyone's interested, all highlights are available on fibaeurope.com (with overly enthusiastic commentary).

Saw him live at the EuroBasket yesterday against Italy. I'm not a scout but a few impressions:

- He was the first one on the court before the game and before the start of the second half practicing free throws and three pointers. Made most of them.

- Was able to play off the ball as well as on the ball. Looked good next to Teodosic as well as the primary ball handler while Milos sat.

- While he didn't show much in the first half, he started the second half and was able to hit some pretty good contested shots over his defender.

- Was able to drive to the basket with his left and right hand, passed the ball very well and haven't seen one dump basketball play from him. Basketball I.Q. seems fine.

- Excited to see him continue in the tournament and to have him on our squad in a couple of years

Not a good a tournament, hopefully he improves next year.

As I've mentioned many times, Bogdan and Goodwin are 2 favorite Suns prospects... Bogdan is gonna be a stud, he has the physical size and skills to be a very serviceable player in the NBA.

He has a well rounded game but that release might give him troubles in the future. He gets it way down at the hip and that extra quarter of a second in his hands will count at the NBA level.

I like him, but I think Booker looks like a better version of him at the moment.

Fenerbahce look the goods though so there shouldn't be many concerns about his development. Plenty of NBA experience on that team: Gigi, Udoh, Antic and Vesely (who is now 7'0" 243lb playing center - WUT)

Nah, look at Durant, he rests the ball pretty low too but wingspan does the job. Same stands for Bogdan.

Solid performance for Bogdan against FC Bayern Munich. 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assist. Not very impressive stats, but he score five crucial points in the last 3 minutes.

^I was gonna post that. I jumped very high and yelled very loud after that shot. Crazy game. He finished with 17 points.

Djedefre · Post #96 » by **Djedefre** » Tue Jan 12, 2016 6:43 pm

Last game in Turkish league - 25 points, 4 assists and 8 rebounds in 26 mins.

Post #97 » by **ATTL** » Tue Jan 12, 2016 7:53 pm

He's coming over next year, right?

I bloody hope so. I don`t want to watch Knight bricking shot after shot for another season.

Bled, Booker, Bogdan and Goodwin would be a nice 1-2 combo.

How has this guy been doing in Europe?

If he comes over next year, how is he going to mesh with current backcourt of Bledsoe, Knight, Booker, and Goodwin? Will he even have be able to get any playing time. He's probably the second best shooter out of the bunch, and maybe we will be able to find playing time for him at the 3 if we trade Tucker. I don't know if he has the size to play that position though. Regardless, I'm excited to see what this guy has to offer when he comes over.

He's playing another solid season in Euroleague (16 games played, about 27 mins per game) with 10.5 ppg (almost identical comparing to last season) from 8.6 fga, with 40% 3pt shooting (from 3.6 attempts per game), 85% ft shooting, 3 rebs, 3 assists, and almost 1.5 stls per game.

In Turkish league, as expected, he's more dominant (17 games played, 26 mins per game) - 14 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 2.4 apg, 61% 2pt shooting, 48% 3pt shooting, around 80% from the ft line.

IDK will he come over after this season, i certainly hope so, but whenever he joins the Suns, i'm convinced he'll get serious minutes at SF - because of the structure of our roster (overcrowded PG and SG, damaged rotation at SF) and also 'cause he's familiar with it (played some minutes at SF in Partizan, Serbian national team, and even more in Fenerbahce now).
