I understand if you don’t want to hear anything about Bojan Bogdanovic right now. His error that led to the Indiana Pacers losing a hard-fought game against the Boston Celtics was heartbreaking. But that was an offensive mistake. Let’s instead talk about his defense.
So far this season, Bojan Bogdanovic has a 113 defensive rating and a -2.2 Defensive Box Plus Minus (DBPM), per basketball reference. To be clear, neither of those numbers are good. However, they both represent the second best figures of his career, and they are both improvements over last season.
Improvement is the key here.
