Kings Rumors: Bogdan Bogdanovic Offer Sheets Will Be Matched in Free Agency
uhh yeah. Didn't I say all these things? They're very similar players statisically, with Buddy being the far superior floor spacer and Bogi is the better defender. Also, you have to take into account that Buddy worked with a 5% higher USG rating so his efficiency gets a boost working with more possessions/shots.
In the context of the team though, if you had to choose one, give me the lights-out floor spacer next to the 2 building block players who are going to make their living getting to the free-throw line and at the rim. Could even had Richaun Holmes in there as a guy in the PnR who gets a lot better with great floor spacing.
Regardless, I think there's room on this team for all 3. The much bigger issue is getting production out of the 3 and 4 spot. Fox, Bogi, Buddy are your shot creators and Holmes is your defensive anchor/rim runner at the 5. Team needs to find better compliments to those 4 than what we ran out there this year.

Buddy assist to turnover ratio is significantly worse and his defense field goal percentage is much worse according to the stats I posted. Yes Buddy has a higher 3 point percentage but overall his EFG percentage is about the same. Largely due to Buddy not having a mid-range game.
That said Buddy is an ideal scorer, energy guy off the bench. The question is will he embrace his role? If he will then I keep him even though he is overpaid for the role.
Kings are weak at the wing position. But they are the hardest players to find. That was one reason I hated passing on players like Paschell last year and selling the 2nd round to Portland to be Trent. Nor was it great drafting Jackson over Anunoby. Hopefully the Kings make a better decision this year. A set of wings will likely be available: Vassell, Williams, Bey, Nesmith, McDaniels. Need and BPA may well align. Let’s hope our draft acumen improves.
