Indiana Pacers: 2017-18 player grades for Bojan Bogdanovic

Strengths

While Bogdanovic has always been a strong 3-point shooter, during the 2017-18 season, he not only registered the most 3s per game of his four-year career (1.9), but he did it on his best percentage from downtown yet (40.2 percent).

He scored a career-best 14.3 points per game, and often singlehandedly won games for Indiana when other scoring options came up empty. At 6’7”, he is an average-sized small forward, but since he can shoot so well, he is a great tool to trot out against small-ball lineups.

Another perk was that for his prototype, he wasn’t a liability on defense, averaging another career high 0.7 steals per tilt.

Finally, while he might be a bit streaky sometimes, he made up for it this season with extreme durability, missing only two contests on the season.
