How valuable would Bojan Bogdanovic be if the Nets decided to trade the 23-year-old? We asked a league source a month ago. He responded that the Nets believed the 6'8" swingman is a "lottery equivalent." Since then, Bogdanovic has taken off.
In the last month of Avery Johnson's tenure, Mirza Teletovic played 39 minutes. Last week, he played 38. MarShon Brooks played a few more but they were hit-and-miss. Last night, he played one of his best games. Expect them to play more now.
Bojan Bogdanovic is now the second leading scorer in the Euroleague Round of 16 as he continues to excel, particularly at the foul stripe, where he's shooting 91%. But with a loss Thursday, Fenerbahce dropped to 1-5. Bogdanovic scored 20 in the loss.
For the second time in four days, Bojan Bogdanovic has scored 26 points in a European game, this time in the Turkish League. Bogdanovic had 26 on 16 shots in 30 minutes Sunday. On Thursday, he had 26 on 14 shots in 33 minutes. His team won both.
Jeremy Bettle was assigned in camp to assess Mirza Teletovic's training regimen. The Nets strength and conditioning coach thought Teletovic's "rogue"regimen was all wrong. Bettle now says Teletovic trains harder than anyone he's ever worked with.
Bojan Bogdanovic, the Euro-Stash who's been lighting up the Euroleague and Turkish League the last couple of weeks, was named the co-MVP of the European-wide league for the week. The other co-MVP? Marcus Williams, the Nets first rounder in 2006.
With his team's playoff fate resting on his shoulders, Bojan Bogdanovic had another big Euroleague game, scoring 26 points in 32 minutes, leading Fenerbahce to a huge win over Khimki of Russia. Fener won by three, 88-85, in the Euroleague Round of 16
NetsDaily asked a Turkish blogger to report on the Nets "feel" of the Turkish All-Star Game: Two Nets draft picks --and two former Nets-- played and the Brooklynettes and BrooklyKnight performed. Savas Birdal got Bogdanovic to talk about his buyout.
Bojan Bogdanovic may soon be playing for his fourth coach in two years since he was drafted by the Nets. Fenerbahce, his team the last two seasons, appears ready to fire Simone Pianigiani following a fourth straight loss in the Euroleague.
The Nets two Euro-Stash, second round picks in 2011 and 2012, play for the same Turkish team, who are the Lakers of Europe: highly paid talent that's underachieving (and under an Italian League coach!). So its problems are of interest to Billy King.
