1. F Bojan Bogdanovic, Detroit Pistons

Bojan Bogdanovic is probably the best pure shooter on the market. Anybody wanting the Detroit Pistons sharpshooter is likely to need to pay a hefty price.

The wing was acquired prior to this season from the Utah Jazz with the primary intent of being leveraged as a trade chip down the line unless the Pistons made a big leap forward this season. That hasn’t happened, so trade partners are jockeying for positions.

Bogdanovic has always been an elite shooter, but he’s taking it to another level at 33 years old. He’s making 41.7 percent of his threes, his best accuracy in three years and well above his career average of 39.4 percent.

The wing is particularly dangerous from the corner. Less than 30 percent of his attempts come from there, but he’s knocking them down at a 43.8 percent rate.

His contract is relatively team-friendly after agreeing to an extension shortly after the trade. Bogdanovic is due to make $20 million next year and only has a partial guarantee for the following season.

There will be no shortage of suitors interested in the Bosnian. The Lakers may still want another upgrade at wing following the acquisition of Rui Hachimura. The Cavs could use more wing shooting if the Pistons are willing to stay in the division. The Bucks have also been rumored to be interested.
