DTB’s Official Bojan Bodanovic Stocks (steals + blocks) update: after tonight’s smothering defensive performance, Bojan Bogdanovic now has one stock on the year.
Stocks are the reason that many people thought that Doug McDermott would be a bust; his were extremely low, and players with few of them rarely turn out to be good NBA players. That’s just how it is, somehow. McDermott’s 2 total stocks (in the form of 2 steals) on the year dwarf Bogdanovic’s total. Does that mean Bogdanovic is a bust? No, but it does mean that it’s surprising that he’s able to score so well in the NBA.
Despite his paucity of defensive boxscore stats, his rebounding has picked up a bit, though. That’s, uh, encouraging. Not enough that we will ever be able to say that his game is entirely based around scoring, but enough that… I don’t know. I just don’t know. I’m just starting to realize how one-dimensional he is (how have I not noticed before???) and it’s starting to freak me out.
