The Bojan Bogdanovic who helped the Nets get into the playoffs last season didn't show up in Brooklyn until Tuesday night. Before the Rockets game, Bogdanovic had been basically a non-factor. As Andy Vazquez writes; in his previous 11 games, the 6'8" Croatian hadn’t cracked double figures in points or attempt more than seven field goals. Then Tuesday, he scored 19 points on 8-of-16 shooting.
He finally looked like the Bogdanovic the Nets saw last April, when he was EC Rookie of the Month, averaging 14.4 points on 52.6 shooting overall and 48.8 percent from downtown.
