How good can Bogdan Bogdanovic be in a different scenario?

[90sgoat]

He's 30 years old now and he's only played with Sac-town and Atlanta in supporting roles, though doing very well there.

Imo, he's way too good for his limited role. He should be a 20 ppg scorer easy. Clearly the alpha on the Serbian team and a great performance this game against Canada.

He should be Klay Thompson, not some 14ppg scorer of the bench. Seems he have been injured a lot though.

He would be star on a team like San Antonio.

Instead he is stuck on a team with volume chuckers like trae young, who don't play defence.

How about this...with how good he is...how good could Vasilije Micic be in the NBA? He's better than Bogdan.

He’d be a good starter but I dont think hed be a star. He’s like a slightly shorter Austin Reaves with less defense, no? Maybe a lil more polished. He’d get more recognition on a relevant team for sure even in his current role. But he’d never be a Kawhi or Luka, or even a PG/Butler level guy.

Which is fine. We dont need every halfway decent offensive player to have their “own team” so we can watch them chuck. It’s ok for good players to sacrifice a little bit to make good teams.

Opposite.

Opposite.

How is he the opposite of Reaves?

Good shooter, solid handle, good game sense.

Youre saying Bogie is the “opposite” of that?

Kevin Martin that one random 20+PPG season he had

The point is that he should obviously be a reliable starter on a team with championship ability, not wasting away with controversial young "stars".

Well, if Atlanta decides to overhaul at some point Im sure there will be suitors.

Capella and Bogdanovich to Mavs should be top priority.

Send Kyrie and youngins the other direction in a 3-way trade.

I guess you can't read, my bad lil man.

Opposite of a sighty shorter Austin, so Reaves is the sighty shorter Bogdanovic.

I can agree with that tbh.

But Austin is a better driver.

Ah. Well google says they're both 6'5. Which I'm sure is accurate for neither, since NBA heights are never accurate. Reaves looks slightly bigger to me. But theyre roughly the same size regardless.

Basketball reference also lists Reaves nickname as 'Hillbilly Kobe'

Bogdan is a significantly worse ballhandler than Reaves, but he's as good, if not better, as a system playmaker. He can make the right pass, but he will never create opportunities like a point guard. He is a much better defender than Reaves. Bogdan is more of a catch and shoot and Reaves is more off the dribble.

bogdan's defense is not good. main reason he comes off the bench. reaves is nothing special but much better just being an average defender.
