#65

RANK

(C - H: 6’9” - WING: 7’0” - WT: - A:)

- Super athletic shot blocker and rim roller
- Not the tallest or longest, but he’s incredibly explosive and active
- Switchable on the perimeter with mobile hips to defend guards and wings
- Strong body with strength that makes up somewhat for his lack of length and height, allowing him to bang with the big centers down low
- One of the best defenders in the class
- A good rebounder who uses his athleticism and activity on the glass
- Very limited on offense. He’s a rim roller and lob threat. No jumper
- Might be low on him due to UCLA’s disappointing season
- Shades of Robert Williams, Jericho Sims, James Nnaji

Has gotten a lot better, and can create for himself now. Powerful, moves well, high motor. Solid around the basket and can handle and create for himself a bit. Still can't really shoot which is an issue. 2nd round grade, don't hate him returning one more year. Shades of Tristan Thompson.

#45

RANK

Pros: Good size/strength. Lob threat. Good paint D-Blocks +. FT % is mid but I like the form. Good length use in layups. Back to basket could definitely be great in the future.

Cons: Still very raw leads to some game learning mistakes. No 3 ball which sucks. Passing is not a strength. Perimeter D isn't a big deal but not great.

Range: Anywhere in the 2nd-return. Age: Solid age. Aura: 3/10 Paint Can

Notes: One of those African physical specimen. A year back might hurt him though, I say go to the draft.

Bona may not get this type of love on other draft boards but I just love his high motor and athleticism. On an under performing UCLA club he has become a beacon of light for this team. I saw the talent last year but now its glaring and I think he would be a valuable asset to a good NBA team next year.

Bona proved this year that he can play in the PnR at a high level. He makes himself a big target, and will also punish laziness on the offensive glass. I like the tenacity he plays with, but if the IQ doesn't follow I don't think he will last very long.
