NBA: 10 players certain to regress in 2019-20

4. Bojan Bogdanovic, Utah Jazz

Bojan Bogdanovic has improved year-to-year throughout his NBA career despite being 25 years old in his rookie campaign. He has made over 40 percent from 3in the past two seasons, and managed to exceed league-average production rate last year by racking up .105 wins per 48 minutes.

After signing a big contract with Utah, Bogdanovic steps into a role which will demand that he be a significant contributor on a playoff team in his age-30 season. The majority of his value is on the offensive end, and a shooter of his caliber can certainly help the Jazz.

Utah’s identity is on the defensive end, however, and it is not difficult to see him struggling to fulfill his role as a perimeter defender funneling drives toward Rudy Gobert.

The Jazz are also a deep squad, arguably deeper than Bogdanovic’s previous teams. He may not be able to maximize his value when certain matchups may dictate Bogdanovic giving way to Royce O’Neale or Jeff Green at times. With more competition for minutes and with Bojan possibly having passed his prime, it seems impossible for him to match his performance last season.
