Bojan Bogdanovic is averaging 14 points a game this year. This fact surprises me, because it feels like someone averaging that many points should sometimes be recognized by anyone besides people from his home country and me. Seriously. Where’s the hype. This guy is only in his third year in the league, he’s only 27… oh. Well, I guess we can consider this mystery solved. Any chance for hype disappears when you hit 25, unless you already have a bunch built up from before. Bogadanovic probably had residual Euro-hype at that age, but that doesn’t count. It has to be Ameri-hype.
And before you think some sort of anti-Euro racism is at work here, no one cares about his teammate Sean Kilpatrick either, and he’s averaging almost the same amount of points.
In the context of his 14-ppg season, 22 points isn’t that many. But wait! He dunked it on Batum, which is really sick, and he was kind of clutch (though his threes would’ve been more useful earlier in the game), so these actually aren’t the worst highlights ever! Hooray!
