Bogdan Bogdanovic was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 27th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft and was included as a piece in the 2016 NBA Draft night deal. The Suns traded Bogdanovic, the 13th pick and 28th pick to the Sacramento Kings so they could select Marquese Chriss. Now about one year later the star guard is poised to join a team looking for someone to lead the next era in Sacramento.
Following comes from Ailene Voisin and Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee.

The 24-year-old won a silver medal as part of Team Serbia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and he has played for Turkish club Fenerbahce since 2014. In 22 EuroLeague games last season, Bogdanovic averaged 14.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while also shooting 43 percent from three-point range. It’s another nice young piece for the Kings as they push through their rebuild.
Get used to a lot of Bogdan celebratory head nods coming to Sacramento soon.
