the do-everything Eagles star who stuffed the stat sheet and set the standard
Bogdan Bliznyuk was the kind of Eastern Washington wing who could bend a game in every direction: in the 2017-18 season, he averaged 21.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists while shooting 52.8% from the field and 90.2% at the line, and he finished as the Big Sky’s all-time leading scorer with 2,169 career points.[1][12] What makes him special is the total package—efficient scoring, playmaking, toughness on the glass and defensive competitiveness—and even NBA evaluators praised him as one of college basketball’s most efficient players and a very good defender.[12]
