On the Sacramento Kings, Bogdan Bogdanovic is the fourth or fifth name in the pecking order.
But at the recently concluded 2019 FIBA World Cup, the Kings reserve wing was the talk of the tournament.
In eight games for Serbia, Bogdanovic averaged 22.9 points on 55.6 percent shooting from the field. His 183 total points were the most scored by any player in the global tournament held in China.

For that, Bogdanovic was named to the 2019 FIBA World Cup All-Star team.
Bogdanovic was joined on the team by Magic guard Evan Fournier, Suns guard Ricky Rubio, Raptors center Marc Gasol and former NBA player Luis Scola.
The Kings and their fans are hoping Bogdanovic can carry his strong play into the 2019-20 NBA season.
