Bogdan Bogdanovic finished 3rd in total points at the Olympics.
113 Jokic
111 Wagner, F.
110 Bogdanovic
He also finished T-2nd in total threes (18). He was probably close but did not make FIBA’s All-Star Five (LeBron, Steph, Wembanyama, Jokic, Schroder ) – 6:09 PM

The FIBA scene can be kind of weird lol. AD got a tech for standing on the edge of the court while on the bench during a dead ball, and the game was stopped because Wemby lost a shoe. – 4:39 PM
