After nearly a decade, Bojan Bogdanovic is returning to the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets acquired the 35-year-old in a trade with the New York Knicks. The Nets sent Mikal Bridges to the Knicks and received a haul of picks along with the veteran.

Before joining the Knicks, Bogey spent a season and a half with the Detroit Pistons. Bogdanovic averaged 20.2 points per game on 41.3 percent shooting from beyond the arc with the Pistons. Despite his lack of athleticism, the 6-foot-7-inch wing can score at all three levels. Bogdanovic is an efficient three-point shooter who uses his size and strength to leverage his post moves. While not known as an elite finisher, Bogdanovic has clever moves to draw fouls and finish around the rim. Bogdanovic has an innate ability to score. However, people often underestimate the value of experience. He is a seasoned veteran who uses his experience to make high IQ plays.
