Conclusion

An argument can be made for either player on who is having the better season, but the offensive statistics point to Bogdanovic.

Regardless, the fact of the matter is that it’s not necessarily Kilpatrick, which is what everyone seems to believe.

More from Nothin' But Nets

Yes, Kilpatrick is certainly having a breakout year after starting the season off the bench. It’s clear that he’s become a fan favorite and that he is loved in Brooklyn. But it also seems clear that Bogdanovic is not loved in Brooklyn, and that he is highly criticized.

These statistics prove that the gap between these two players is a lot closer than people think. Whether Kilpatrick is getting too much credit or Bogdanovic is not getting enough, Nets fans need to realize that these two players have similar production and are both contributing in similar ways.
