There was a chance at the start of the draft the Nets could deal Bojan Bogdanovic to try moving up in the order. But now that we're done with all of draft night festivities, Bogdanovic has remained in Brooklyn, a big deal considering there's an outside chance he'll be the team's go-to scorer on the wings next season.
Here's more from NetsDaily's Anthony Puccio:
Bogdanovic averaged 9.0 points per game and shot 36 percent from three as a rookie this past season.

Sometimes, the best moves are the ones you don't make.
Throughout the active 2015 NBA Draft, the Nets, predictably, dangled Mason Plumlee's name in efforts to move up in the draft. As we know, Plumlee was shipped off to Portland for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson & Steve Blake.
There was one name reportedly dangled, quite a few times, that was unexpected. Bojan Bogdanovic, the 26 year-old Croatian was supposedly being shopped at the draft, however, NetsDaily sources said he was never "offered" in a deal.
Shortly after the Nets' season came to an end back in May, Bogdanovic was skeptical about his future with the Nets. It would've been a shock to many -- and big disappointment -- if they traded one of the few bright spots for the team's future. But for the sharp-shooting Croatian, it probably wouldn't have shocked him if the Nets decided to include him in a trade.
In an interview with a Croatian newspaper back in early May, Bojan Bogdanovic said he was happy with the Nets, loves New York and hoped that he won't be included in any trade packages with "stars" that the Nets might make.
