Many tipped Serbia as the favorites entering the World Cup, and the European powerhouse have managed to live up to their lofty expectations in the first round. In Game 3, Serbia made it three straight victories thanks to another impressive performance against an Italian side that had entered the game with a perfect record.

Nikola Jokic and Miroslav Raduljica performed well for Serbia, although it was Bogdan Bogdanovic who led the way with 31 points. The Sacramento Kings star connected with just under 50% of his field-goal attempts and recorded 6 of Serbia’s 10 three-pointers.

Bogdanovic also managed five assists as he set the offensive tempo, and his work on the defensive end was excellent as he recorded four rebounds and five steals. Ultimately, Bogdanovic has been the star of the tournament so far, and it will be interesting to see if he can keep it up over the next 10 days.
