Every team wants to have such a three-way boss.
Do not grab the core of the ball, out of the opportunity can be seized, occasionally play the ball, the overall efficiency can reach the standard of the all-star level, of course, the annual salary can not be too high, it is best not to exceed 20 million US dollars ... , it is estimated that many fans will interrupt me, easy to use and cheap, where is such a good thing under the sky?
Don't worry, look at the whole league, there is really such a person, he is Bojan Bogdanovic.
Bojan came from the European League, belongs to the technical more solid floor stream, no dazzling talent, no gorgeous style of play, although 11 years was selected, but until 14 years, 25 years old he ushered in the NBA debut, for Bojan, the outside world does not have much expectations, because before this, most of the European flanks that came to the NBA, there have been serious water and soil dissatisfaction, even if the physical talent of Rudy Fernandez, only 4 years.
But who would have thought that Bojan not only stood firm, but also at the age of 30, playing an average of 20+ performances, this season, his efficiency, but also among the top five in the same position, has become the jazz on the road to the championship, the most important piece of the puzzle.
Non-stick balls
Unlike other wing swingers, Bojan is not a player who must have the ball to exert his power, nor does he need to dribble to find the feel, most of the time, Bojan plays the role of a finisher, 22.3% of the ball usage rate, even the top 50 in the league can not squeeze in, the team is second to Donovan Mitchell, and Jordan Clarkson.
Scoring is varied
Bojan has a lot of finishing skills, can play conversions in counterattacks, and can score 1.07 points per round; occasionally he can use blocking to make 1v1 singles, with an efficiency of 1.08 points per round, 92.4% ahead of the league's players; and of course, the best catch shot, 1.16 points per round, ahead of the league's 82.3% players.
It should be noted that Bojan is not a pure shooter, although his total three-point production this season is as high as 160, ranking 19th in the league, and the 38.6% shooting rate is not low, but Bojan's three-point shooting ratio is actually only 50%, he has a lot of attacks under the basket, 57.2% of the interior end rate, also above the league average, when facing small defenders, Bojan can also use his physical advantages to make low singles, and the score of 0.93 points per round can also reach the passing level.
Extremely efficient
Offensively, Bojan has almost no shortcomings, so his personal efficiency, especially the true shooting rate, has always been the top level in the league.
In the 18-19 season, Bojan's 61.3% true shooting percentage, ranked 7th among non-insider players with at least 20% usage, behind Curry, Gallinari, Durant, Siakam, Harden and Brogdon;
Despite a ruptured scapular ligament in his right wrist in 2020, Bojan's true shooting percentage remained at around 59% for the next 2 seasons, and this season, among the non-insider players with at least 20% usage rate, he was still second only to Durant, James, LaVine and Ju Holliday, ranking 5th;
Affordable price
As of now, Bojan can average 17.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, shooting 45.5%, three-point shooting rate of 38.6%, whether it is three points, or scoring, is the existence of the team second only to Mitchell, but his salary, but only ranked 4th on the team, only $17 million, is a real low salary and high energy.
The role of the team is obvious
Although the defensive end, Bojan does have some drag, but for the Jazz, their interior line has Gobert, the latter's defensive coverage area, so that the Jazz always maintain a good defensive level, but on the offensive end, relying on only one Mitchell is far from enough, which is why they introduced Bojan, since Bojan joined, the Jazz's offensive efficiency has a qualitative leap.
In the 19-20 season, the Jazz scored 111.8 points per 100 rounds, ranking 9th in the league;
In the 20-21 season, he scored 116.5 points per 100 rounds, ranking 4th in the league;
In the 21-22 season, he scored 115.8 points per 100 rounds, temporarily ranking first in the league;
Real name envy ah, cheap, easy to use, score a lot, it is estimated that every championship team, hope to have such a piece of the puzzle.
