Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA) 

Miami Heat Receive: F Bojan Bogdanovic 

In the modern NBA, two-way wings reign supreme. Specifically, the 3-and-D model is a particularly fashionable look for contenders. Stacking them can be the key to a contending team’s success. 

With that said, it’s easier said than done. Of course, there are plenty of wings in the NBA.

There are three-point snipers who struggle on defense, and defensive wings who don’t space the floor well. Finding a player who does both is like striking gold. 

Bojan Bogdanovic may not exactly fit that description. He’s a passable defender, but it would be an exaggeration to call him a strong one. On the other hand, he is one of the most reliable floor-spacers in the league.

For that matter, so is Duncan Robinson. On the other hand, “passable” would be a kind way to describe his defense. In fact, it was so poor in the 2021-22 playoffs that the Heat decided to take him off the floor. 

Is Bogdanovic enough of an upgrade to justify parting with a first-round pick for the Heat?
