Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying about the signing:
Adam Spolane: “I can’t imagine the Rockets signed Bogdanovic with the expectation of him being an important contributor, but he’s a veteran who has had a good career, and he’s got some feistiness to him”
@JeremyChuggs: “LFG!!! Needed a floor spacer and getting one with the signing of Bogdanovic”
@finleykuehl: “This is actually a fun lil signing, the outward appearance is that Bogdanovic is washed but idk I don’t think he’s just forgotten how to shoot entirely. Could end up being good value for Houston”
@SleeperRockets: “Bogdanovic averaged 7.4 points per game and shot just 34.7% from deep last season, but he’s a career 38.1% shooter, which is what Houston is likely banking on How do we feel about this signing, Rockets fans?”
