He also represents the Serbian national basketball team. Standing at 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), he primarily plays at the shooting guard position. He was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 27th overall pick, in the 2014 NBA Draft.

Club career

Early years

Bogdanović began playing organized basketball with KK Zvezdara, a club in Belgrade. In April 2008 he moved on to KK Žitko Basket (then known as Alimenti Basket), also from Belgrade. With Žitko he was part of the team that in April 2010 earned third place in the 2009-10 Serbian junior league at the final eight tournament in Vršac,[1][2] after beating Partizan Belgrade juniors in the quarterfinal, losing 89-86 to Hemofarm juniors in the semifinal and beating FMP Železnik junior team 82-76 in the third place game.

A few weeks later in May 2010, together with another Žitko player Luka Pajković, Bogdanović got attached to FMP's junior team featuring Nenad Miljenović, Stefan Popovski-Turanjanin, Nemanja Bezbradica, Nikola Janković, and Nikola Silađi for the Nike International Junior Tournament (NIJT) in Paris where the Železnik juniors were defending their club's double title from previous two years. They were drawn in one of two round-robin groups at the tournament, alongside KK Split, Treviso, and Málaga. After beating Treviso and Split, FMP required a win over Málaga juniors to win their group and make the final; with precisely Bogdanović making the difference with an off-balance buzzer-beater for a 79-78 final score, two of his 21 points on the day alongside 6 rebounds.[3][4] In the final game FMP took on INSEP and lost 73–83[5] with Bogdanović having an outing to forget due to the mid-game injury that forced him to leave the contest.

Partizan Belgrade

In September 2010, 18-year-old Bogdanović signed his first professional contract with Partizan Belgrade.[6] Initially, in his first two seasons with crno-beli under head coach Vlada Jovanović, Bogdanović didn't play much.

With the summer 2012 return of head coach Duško Vujošević to Partizan, 20-year-old Bogdanović began to see increased minutes. After Anđušić's departure in December 2012, his role in the team stabilized even more.[7] he The 2012–13 season saw him make his Euroleague debut with the team, averaging 5 points and 1.8 rebounds over 6 games.

2013–14 season

After being invited to play for the national team in the summer of 2013, he saw increased trust of coach Vujošević, which reflected on his minutes in 2013-14 season and bigger role in the team.

In the Euroleague game victory over CSKA Moscow in Belgrade, Bogdanović scored career-high 27 points, shooting 10 from 16 from the field.[8] Shortly after the game, he was praised by national team selector Aleksandar Đorđević as being one of the most promising European players.[9]

In a February ABA League away game versus Cibona, Bogdanović scored career-high 32 points, also adding 4 rebounds and 5 assists.[10] Over 23 games in the Euroleague, he averaged 14.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and assists per game, all career-high.[11] In April 2014, along with his teammate Joffrey Lauvergne, he was selected for the ideal team of the ABA League.[12][13]

In May 2014, he has been voted the Euroleague Rising Star of the season by the head coaches of 24 Euroleague teams.[14]

Partizan finished season by winning its 13th consecutive Serbian League title, defeating once again arch rivals Red Star Belgrade 3-1 in the final series.[15] Bogdanović exploded in the series, averaging 30.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. For such performance he was named Finals MVP.[16]

On June 26, 2014, Bogdanović was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 27th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft.[17]

Following Bogdanović's departure from Partizan to Fenerbahce in the summer of 2014, the player's decision to leave the club at that particular time was criticized by Partizan's head coach Vujošević who claimed that Bogdanović thus broke the 2012 verbal agreement the coach struck with him, his agent Aleksandar Rašković, and his parents; an agreement to immediately be put in first team rotation in 2012 in return for playing three seasons with the club from that point on. Instead, Bogdanović left after two years, following Partizan's unsuccessful qualification for the next season's Euroleague.[7]

Fenerbahçe

On 11 July 2014, Bogdanović officially signed a four-year contract, containing an opt-out clause after second or third season, with the Turkish team Fenerbahçe.[18][19] Over four years Bogdanović is slated to make €3.5 million while Partizan also received a €1.3 million buyout from Fenerbahçe, as the player was still under contract with the Belgrade club.[20]

2014–15 season

Even though Bogdanović was a newcomer in the team, head coach Željko Obradović gave him a significant amount of minutes and a starter role. With the beginning of 2014–15 season, he struggled in shooting and consistency.[21] On November 15, in a 93–86 win over FC Bayern Munich, he scored 18 points and added 7 assists, his best game since coming in the new team.[22] Over 10 games in the first phase of the Euroleague, he averaged 10.4 points and 3.4 assists per game. On March 20, Bogdanović set season-high 25 points and added 4 assists in a 98–77 win over Emporio Armani Milano.[23] For such performance, he was named the MVP of the Round, with the performance index rating of 32.[24] On March 26, in a game against Unicaja Málaga, he scored a 20-meter buzzer beater at the end of the second quarter.[25] After good showings in Top 16, he struggled in shooting in the quarter-final series against Maccabi Tel Aviv, averaging 8 points on 25% from the field. Eventually, Fenerbahçe won the series and advanced to the Final Four.

On May 7, he has been voted the Euroleague Rising Star for the second season in a row, becoming only the second player after Nikola Mirotić to win the award twice.[26] Fenerbahçe also advanced to the Euroleague Final Four for the first time in team's history.[27] On May 15, 2015, however, they lost in the semifinal game to Real Madrid with 87–96.[28] Eventually, Fenerbahçe finished in 4th place after losing in third-place game to CSKA Moscow with 80–86.[29] Over the season in 29 Euroleague games, Bogdanović averaged 10.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Also, in 36 games of the Turkish League, he averaged 11.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

Serbian national team

Youth

Bogdanović's play with Žitko got him an invitation to training camp ahead of the 2009 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship in France, however the player who was about to turn 17 years of age, quickly got cut by head coach Vlada Jovanović.

Next year, in the summer of 2010, Bogdanović got picked[30] by head coach Jovanović for the following European under-18 Championship where Serbia came in fourth.

The following year, Bogdanović, now with Partizan at the club level, went up in age group and played for Serbian national team under head coach Dejan Mijatović at the 2011 FIBA Under-19 World Championship in Latvia. Playing alongside Aleksandar Cvetković, Đorđe Drenovac, Luka Mitrović, Nemanja Dangubić, and Nemanja Bešović, Bogdanović was part of the team that got a silver medal after losing the final to the Jonas Valančiūnas-led Lithuania team.[31] Bogdanović averaged 8.9 points and 5 rebounds per game.[32]

Senior

At the FIBA EuroBasket 2013 in Slovenia, Bogdanović represented Serbian national team averaging 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game.[33][34]

Bogdanović was a member of the Serbian national basketball team that won the silver medal at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup under head coach Aleksandar Đorđević. He has emerged in the knockout phase against Greece, Brazil, and France, and ended the tournament with the averages of 12 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, on 47% shooting.[35]

In the late phase of the pre-tournament friendly games for the EuroBasket 2015, team head coach Đorđević put him on the bench due to the problems with repeated back injury.[36] Despite that, he was named to the 12-men roster that represented Serbia at the EuroBasket.[37] Throughout the first phase of the tournament, playing under injections, he saw limited minutes and his production slightly decreased from the previous summer. Despite that, Serbia dominated in the toughest Group B with 5-0 record, and then eliminated Finland and Czech Republic in the round of 16 and quarterfinal game, respectively. However, they were stopped in the semifinal game by Lithuania with 67–64,[38] and eventually lost to the host team France in the bronze-medal game with 81–68.[39] Over 9 tournament games, Bogdanović finished with the averages of 8.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and assists per game on 39.7% shooting from the field and 27.1% from the three-point line.[40]
