Jazz Rank: Bojan Bogdanovic is 3rd

The Utah Jazz have historically not been big players in NBA free agency. But ever since Dennis Lindsey (and now Justin Zanik) took over, that narrative is starting to change. The best-cast example for that may eventually be newcomer Bojan Bogdanovic, who finds himself 3rd in this year’s JazzRank.

Bogdanovic graces us with his beautiful basketball after a career year for the Indiana Pacers last season. The Croatian wingman is tailor-made for Quin Snyder’s offense and has been fantastic so far this season. I really, really wanted to sign Bojan this summer. But I had no idea he would be this good.

Bojan won’t wow you with his athleticism (at least not regularly), but he’s no slouch either. He’s a jack-of-all trades kind of guy that can do just about anything. I’m amazed at how quickly I gained complete confidence in his shots and drives. He’s an incredibly intelligent player and is better defensively than he gets credit for. I was initially a little surprised by the size of his 4 year 73 million dollar contract, but he’s definitely earning that money!
