Maybe it’s just as well that the Milwaukee Bucks weren’t able to complete the trade for Bogdan Bogdanovic last November.
So far this season, Donte DiVincenzo has outplayed him after joining the starting lineup. DiVincenzo is hitting 47% of his 3-pointers, compared to 36% for Bogdanovic. He’s also outscoring him 11.2 points-a-game compared to 9.9.
He’s among the league leaders in steals and his Player Efficiency Rating is 16.2. Bogdanovic checks in at 10.1.
Slowly, the disappointment of the trade that didn’t go through may be fading away for the Bucks.
