Bogdan Bogdanovic adjusts shooting stroke
plus other NBA news
The 30-year old Hawk underwent right knee surgery in May, estimating an August return. Bogdanovic hasn’t played for the Hawks this season but is working with former Hawks All-Star Kyle Korver to remedy the loose debris:
The Hawks hired Korver during the offseason as their new director of player affairs and development, and he has been quick to share his expertise with the team.
When Bogdanovic shoots at the end of practices, Korver often has been by his side. Since Bogdanovic will have to make adjustments to his shot following his surgery, Korver has offered tips on how to make it a possibility. Korver has broken down the mechanics of stepping into the shot, explaining to Bogdanovic that a shorter stride will use certain muscles and potentially take stress off of his knee.
“He helped me a lot, you know, especially through the challenging times, where I couldn’t, like, figure it out, how to make that transition, from use, to what I’m doing in the weightlifting room with the strength coaches, and everybody else, (physical therapy), how to translate it on the court,” Bogdanovic said. “So he was helping me a lot in that position, using certain muscles when I’m getting in the shot.”
OK, what else.
