Bogdan Bogdanovic has transitioned into the role of the Sacramento Kings main facilitator off the bench this season, and he has looked comfortable doing so.
The 26-year-old, 6’6’’ shooting guard is averaging 15.3 points, 4.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1 steal per game in his second NBA season – all increases over last season, when he started in 53 games. (He has started in 8 of the 39 games he has played in this season.)
Following the Kings 135-113 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, Bogi spoke about the transition this season, the team’s pace, which he admitted is the first time in his life that he has played at such a pace, and his participation in the upcoming Rising Stars Challenge during NBA All-Star Weekend.
