Bogdanovic Named Back-to-Back Euroleague Rising Star
One of the Suns' offseason developments is already underway. Bogdan Bogdanovic, who Phoenix selected 27th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft, has been named the Euroleague Rising Star trophy winner for the second year in a row.
Bogdanovic, who was also part of Serbia's run to the 2014 FIBA World Cup championship game, averaged 10.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.8 steals per game while shooting 35.7 percent from three-point range for Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul this season. He also started 25 of 27 games, a rarity for young players in a league that prefers veteran continuity and chemistry.
