Additionally, Atkinson needs shooters. From what Bojan Bogdanovic showed in the Olympics, he could very well be the Nets’ number two option this season. Bogdanovic would play a similar role to Kyle Korver. He would probably move without the ball using off ball screens to free himself for a shot.

Bogdanovic has better ball handling than Korver, and can create his own shot at times. He should not always be looking to create his own shot, but having a guard that can create offense will help. It will allow the Nets to have one more person that can penetrate and draw the defense. It is just the matter of Bogdanovic finding the open man on penetrations.
