Best players in the New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks series: #3 Bogdan Bogdanovic
Even though John Collins is averaging more points per game this season, there’s reason to believe that Bogdanovic is second fiddle to Trae Young.
A 43.8% shooter from outside, Bogdanovic can get cooking in a jiffy – someone the Knicks need to have an eye on at all times.
Injuries cost him quite some time in the winter, but he’s having one of his best stretches of the season at the right time. In the month of May, Bogdanovic has had five 20-point games in seven tries, with 28 against Indiana as the high total out of that bunch.
Bogdanovic and Young team up for the Eastern Conference version of the ‘”Splash Brothers”. While Trae gets all the love, it’s Bogdanovic who actually ranks 10th in the NBA in three-pointers made per game. You leave him open and it’s not just game over, it’s series done.
