Strengths

Bojan is a shooter, and we all know that shooters shoot. Bogdanovic, in particular, likes to shoot quite a bit. He’s taken over four threes per game across his NBA career, and made a more-than-solid 36.9 percent of them in that time.

Also impressive is that Bogdanovic makes over 50 percent of his shots from within the arc as well. Many shooters struggle to finish inside — that’s not a huge problem for this Croatian baller.

Bogdanovic picks his spots when he shoots, as he’s no volume scorer most of the time. At 11.3 points per game, it’s tough to say he really tears it up out there. Those points have come on 9.1 shots per game though, meaning Bogdanovic scorers efficiently.

Notice the ‘most of the time’ when talking about Bojan not being a volume scorer. That was necessary because he dropped 44 points on the Philadelphia 76ers last season, and put up 16 20-point games this past season. Bojan can get buckets.
