Bogdanovic will compete to be the Nets' starting shooting guard this season, ESPN New York reports.

Analysis:

Bogdanovic spent the past three seasons in the Turkish Basketball League, but the rookie will finally make the trip over to play in the NBA after signing with the Nets in August. On Friday he was mentioned by coach Lionel Hollins as a player that could compete for the starting shooting guard position, which opened up after moving veteran Joe Johnson to small forward. His main competition will be Alan Anderson, who has a full year of experience with the Nets, but Bogdanovic isn't your typical rookie as he's 25 years old and just played extremely well in the FIBA Basketball World Cup games. Once training camp gets underway, we'll see how his game translates.
