Just two players are representing the Nets in the 2016 Rio Olympics: Bogdanovic and Luis Scola. Bogdanovic plays for his home country Croatia, and has proven himself as the true leader of the team.
In the Olympics opener against Spain, Bogdanovic tallied 23 points and shot at an impressive 8-of-15 from the field. He played a huge role in Croatia’s upset over Spain, as seven of his points came in the final period. Croatia escaped with a slight 72-70 victory. Croatia faces Argentina later tonight in Group B of the Men’s Basketball tournament of the Olympics.
