Bojan Bogdanovic looks like Bojan Bogdanovic. His hair may be a touch thinner, Pistons blue now drapes his 6-foot-8 frame, but the eight-year veteran is doing what he always does. A flamethrower from deep, liable to launch from 30 feet. Even without an ankle-breaking handle, the savvy scorer can always create in a pinch, bumping and grinding his way to the rim or shifting into one-legged midrange fallaways.

Few around the league, though, expected to find the Croatian in this environment, as one of the rare veterans amid Detroit’s young roster construction. After the Utah Jazz dispatched Royce O’Neale, Rudy Gobert and then Donovan Mitchell across the map, rival front offices expected Bogdanovic’s inevitable departure to deliver another of Utah’s proven postseason performers to a team with contending aspirations. The Lakers certainly called, sources told Yahoo Sports.

“I used to be like the youngest guy on the team for a while. And now I find myself to be the oldest one,” Bogdanovic told Yahoo Sports. “So yeah, it’s been a new situation for me, but I’m trying to stay positive and [be] a good mentor to them as much as I can.” Bogdanovic is drilling over 45 percent of his triples through 12 games and providing spacing for Cade Cunningham’s high-screen action and bruising drives. It’s almost magnificent how mechanical his motion remains, the obvious result of repetition after repetition, so routine and precise and exact. Bogdanovic only needs an inch of daylight to one-two step into his lightning quick release, that rainbow moon ball rarely touching anything other than net.

And if Bogdanovic keeps blistering from distance, the perfect archetype for Detroit’s veteran presence may ultimately draw greater value from another front office. For teams that backed off Bogdanovic’s trade market this summer in fear of a potential dropoff, whether shooting production or defensive fitness, he could become a top target come February’s deadline.

The Suns weren’t able to package the right players to strike a deal with Utah, but Phoenix could still construct an offer around Jae Crowder’s salary if the Suns were to revisit obtaining Bogdanovic. Even with Cam Johnson sidelined through the new year by a meniscus surgery, it appears Phoenix and Crowder share no designs on a reunion any time soon.
