UCLA center Adem Bona is projected to be a second-round pick, and if he’s drafted it would be the third straight year a Bruin is picked in the NBA Draft.
UCLA’s Adem Bona shoots against Arizona State forward Bryant Selebangue during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Los Angeles, Saturday, March 9, 2024. UCLA won 59-47. LOS ANGELES — UCLA sophomore center Adem Bona is on the cusp of hearing his name called in this week’s NBA Draft.
Bona tied for the best standing vertical leap at the NBA Draft Combine in May. He also registered a 40-inch max vertical leap, which ranked eighth overall and number one amongst centers, providing metrics to quantify the athleticism he was known for in Westwood. He brings rim protection via shot blocking and his strong frame allows him to hold his own defensively in the middle. Offensively, he can run the floor and is primarily known as a lob threat who energized the Bruins with big-time slam dunks.
“Obviously, when I work out with a bunch of different guys that I’ve never played with before so I think communication is key, just try to show teams that I can communicate defensively and offensively.”
