Nets' Bojan Bogdanovic Shines in FIBA World Cup
Posted by Unknown on Saturday, September 06, 2014 with No comments
For Brooklyn Nets fans, the FIBA World Cup may have
slid under the radar with the Nets’ big names not participating, but one of the
Nets’ offseason additions really shined throughout the tournament, and should have opened the eyes of Nets fans.
For Croatia, Bojan Bogdanovic was consistently their
best player and helped lead them into the round of 16, where they fell to
France 69-64. Bogdanovic has been one of the best players in the World Cup this
season, and that should get the Nets, and their fan excited about what he can
bring to the team next season.

In the loss to France, Bogdanovic scored a game-high
27 points, which included a monster fourth quarter that he scored 14 points. He
nearly single-handedly brought Croatia back from a 16-point deficit, as he hit
a three-pointer to bring them to within two points, but missed a three-pointer
that could have given his team the lead with under 30 seconds to go.
Nonetheless it was a great game from Bogdanovic, who finished shooting 11 for
19 from the field.
For the entire tournament, Bogdanovic was impressive, averaging 21.2
points per game, while shooting 50% from the field, and 36.1 from the three-point
line. With training camp about three weeks away, Bogdanovic will be coming in
riding a hot hand from the World Cup, and could figure to play a nice role on
that Nets this upcoming season.
