Bojan Bogdanovic

One of the most underrated players in the league, Bojan Bogdanovic played a huge role in the Indiana Pacers offense following the season-ending injury to Victor Oladipo. He ended the season averaging 18.0 points per game.

Bojan averaged a career-high 2.0 threes per game on a career-high 42.5% from deep. He neared 50% from the field overall. Originally from Bosnia, Bogdanovic’s game has translated well to the NBA and he continues to grow each and every season.

His most memorable performance was at home against the Cavaliers last season. He dropped 30 points and looked unstoppable on his way to a career-high seven made threes. That was his breakout game and the entire 2018-2019 season was his transformation into stardom.

Bogdanovic is undoubtedly just as good as or just a notch under a few max contract players. That said, he won’t get paid like one, which could open up the door for the Warriors. This will likely be his first long-term, big-man contract.

That said, he’d be the perfect fit given his shooting, size and unselfishness. If Golden State can afford him, they better try to sign him.
