After missing out on Lou Williams, the Wizards turned their sights to Bogdanovic in an attempt to bolster their second unit. Trading for Bogdanovic gives the Wizards an automatic boost to their bench production, acquiring a player who is currently shooting 44 percent from the field and 35 percent from three-point land.
Bogdanovic was the second-leading scorer for the Nets this season, averaging 14.2 PPG, a stat slightly inflated by the team’s lack of offensive talent. Nevertheless, Bogdanovic’s ability to knock down shots will provide the floor spacing and three-point shooting Washington desired as they gear up for the playoffs.
