Much ballyhooed rookie Bojan Bogdanovic has fallen out of the rotation. In fact, he received his first DNP-coach’s decision Friday night.
Granted, he didn’t play until garbage time in Chicago on Tuesday night. He shot 38.8 percent in December. Lionel Hollins told reporters in Orlando: “It’s not what Bogie’s done, it’s what he’s not done. You’ve got to play and compete and go out and play well, and [Sergey] Karasev has shown me a lot in practice. We were struggling, I just gave [Sergey] a shot, and he played well. It’s also a product of Bogie just hitting a wall and not being aggressive.”
