Bojan Bogdanovic lit up the Lakers in their last game. He ended the night with a 38-point performance. And even though the Lakers came out on top, Bogdanovic?s performance did catch the attention of the Lakers? front office.
How Bojan Bogdanovic could help LeBron James and the Lakers
Bogdanovic is averaging 21.0 PPG, 3.6 RPG, and 2.4 APG this season. But that is not what attracted the Lakers to pursue him. No doubt Bogdanovic can score. But his three-point shooting percentage has been the best since he came into the league.
