Bojan Bogdanovic isn’t shy about saying he has more to bring to the NBA, but he’s letting his game speak for him as he leads Croatia to a 2-0 start in FIBA EuroBasket 2017.
The Croatian team is coming to EuroBasket as a pseudo-contender after an encouraging performance in the 2016 Rio Olympics, although this roster has only six holdovers from that team, one of which is Bogdanovic. Missing from the squad are NBA players Mario Hezonja, Ante Zizic and Ivica Zubac. The center rotation is weak as a result, but so far, Bogdanovic has seen to it that that’s not an issue.
