Draft Thread 2018: LA Has The #25 & #47 Overall Picks... And #39 Now

Bonga? I’m done with the draft.

 

Hmm...Bonga?

 

We traded for a draft and stash?

 

Always intrigued with European dudes.

 

Feels like a draft from like 6 years ago.

 

draft n stash

 

If he doesn't come over this year,ps did you hear that from anyone?....that sure as hell makes me go,hmmmmmmmm....

 

well, we couldn't bring all these guys on board next year, right?

only positive is that if we went to all that trouble with bonga as our target, the must think he's got a super high ceiling.

 

One of those ESPN guys said he might stay in Germany for a year or two.

 

wait till they get on the court 1st before we criticize the picks...this scout team deserves alot of leway and thats funny we got 2 germans, bout to own germany as a laker territory

 

another German dude?

 

looks like a poor man's ntilikina on film. also looks kinda old, which is odd.

hey, whatever, these guys get paid to do it. i'll go work on my book chapter or something.

 

• Synergy Stats: Isaac Bonga Scouting Report

About Isaac Bonga

Isaac Bonga is a long, fluid point forward seeing consistent minutes against quality competition for the first time. Emerged as a prospect at a young age in his native Germany putting up dominant numbers at the junior level. Bonga has been a staple of the German junior national teams over the last four years while also making the rounds on the camp circuit attending the 2017 Basketball Without Borders Global Camp and adidas Eurocamp. Joined the Skyliners Frankfurt in the summer of 2016 spending much of that season with their 2nd team in the Germany 3rd Division amid appearances in the Champions League and German 1st Division with the club’s 1st team. Played the majority last season with Frankfurt’s 1st Team averaging 6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game flashing promising versatility.

• Measured 6’8.75 in shoes with a 7’0 wingspan and a lean 200-pound frame last summer. Not the most explosive athlete, but has rangy strides attacking the rim and an impressive combination of size and length for a player who frequently serves as a primary ball handler.
• Played a rotation role for Frankfurt. Functions primarily as a facilitator out of pick & roll actions. Has some positive moments pushing the ball himself in transition and navigating his way to the rim out of ball screen actions.

Defensive Analysis

• Promising defender with great length and good feet. Has the potential to guard multiple positions as he gains experience and his frame matures. Excellent rebounder for his position. Allowed 0.750 points per Isolation possession[62ndpercentile] as his size is a factor. Doesn’t always stay engaged off the ball or aggressive against pick & rolls. Has room to improve his awareness off the ball. Loses track of shooters at times, but often because he is helping aggressively.

Note: Although German, does not qualify for quote credit.

 

justin jackson and bruce brown both interested me quite a bit.

 

That's what I'm thinking. Frees up a mill and somen to contribute later as he gets more Euro experience. Are we sure he's not coming doe?

Also. There STILL seems to be a good BPA at 47.

 

How is Diop not selected yet? Interesting.
