Luka Bogavac Getting More Comfortable As Each Game Passes

As for how Luka Bogavac is adapting to playing major college basketball in the United States, one must look beyond his numbers. Nine games into North Carolina's season, Bogavac is posting quality stats. Averaging 12.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game while still in full acclimation mode is impressive.

But most of the time, they try to stay up and watch." (TarHeel247)

Luka Bogavac Adjusting Well, Helping Prove Value of Overseas Recruiting for UNC Basketball

Hubert Davis' wife, Leslie, bakes Luka Bogavac a batch of brownies before every game. The Montenegrin native claimed he didn’t like sweets when he arrived in Chapel Hill, but now he cherishes the homemade treats. It’s a simple act that has helped Bogavac feel at home in a new environment and assimilate off the basketball court just as much as on it. (Inside Carolina)

Caleb Wilson knew what was coming, and he met it with poise. Georgetown swarmed him with second defenders, shaded help when he got the ball, and tested his patience in crowds.
