4. Bojan Bogdanovic – Forward/Indiana Pacers

Similar to Belinelli, the forward from Indiana, Bojan Bogdanovic could be a huge pick up for the Timberwolves this season.

There were some who thought Bogdanovic would have been a logical free agent signing this last offseason, but he ended up in Indiana before that rumor could get any more traction.

However, in the NBA one can never say never and losing teams sometimes trade pieces in order to gain assets for the upcoming offseason. The Indiana Pacers could easily find themselves as sellers later this year, and there is no doubt that Bogdanovic would be an attractive asset to a contender.

If this sounds like deja vu to those of you who follow the NBA closely, that would be because this very same situation actually happened to Bogdanovic last season when he was traded from Brooklyn to Washington midseason.

The trade worked well for the Wizards and it propelled them to a semi-deep run before being knocked out of the playoffs by the Celtics in a seven game series.

Fast forward to this season.

The Timberwolves may be in the market for another long range shooter who can create his own shot, and this would be where Bojan Bogdanovic would step in.

The forward for Indiana is currently averaging just under 14 points per game and shooting 43 percent from deep this season.

Both of these are big reasons as to why the Timberwolves should see if he could be acquired for a reasonable price. Adding a guy like Bogdanovic to the team would help the Wolves as they make a playoff push this season.
