Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers signed Bojan Bogdanovic to a multi-year deal in 2017. He played two seasons in Indiana before signing a four-year, $73.1 million deal with the Utah Jazz in 2019. If the Pacers could bring Bogdanovic back, they most certainly would.
The Pacers were a middle of the road when it came to 3-point stats during the 2020-21 season. They were 16th in 3-point percentage, 18th in attempts per game and 18th in makes per game.
Those numbers would drastically drop if they did not have Doug McDermott, who is entering free agency off of the best shooting season of his career.
If the team is unable to re-sign McDermott, Bogdanovic would be a great Plan B. He would bring a lot of similarities to the Pacers, replacing the scoring and 3-point shooting they would be losing.

Bogdanovic could slide right into McDermott’s role as a floor-spacing, scoring forward off the bench, or even slide into the starting five until T.J. Warren can show that he is back on track after season-ending foot surgery in January.
