5. Bogdan Bogdanovic, Sacramento Kings
Like his new teammate Justin Jackson, Serbian Bogdan Bogdanovic is another fresh face in the Pacific Division. Up until this season, Bogdanovic had spent his playing career in Europe, spending time with Partizan Belgrade in Serbia and Fenerbahçe in Turkey.
The name Bogdan Bogdanovic should sound very familiar to Phoenix Suns fans. While Bogdan was playing for Partizan Belgrade, he was drafted by the Suns. The Serbian never ended up stepping on the court for Phoenix, with some contractual issues preventing an early NBA appearance.
Last year, Bogdanovic was sent from the Suns to the Kings as a part of the Marquese Chriss trade.
While expectations for the Serbian are up in the air, a guard and wing trio of George Hill, Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic should have Sacramento Kings’ fans excited for this upcoming season.
