Philadelphia evidenty likes what it's seen out of the No. 41 overall pick and ex-UCLA great.
Former two-year UCLA Bruins center/power forward Adem Bona, selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the No. 41 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is inking a four-season, $8 million rookie-scale deal with the team, his reps at Banner 1 and Roc Nation Sports informPer Charania, the 6-foot-10 big man is averaging 6.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 blocks across just 22.7 minutes a bout for the 76ers' Summer league squad in Las Vegas.
Beyond individual accolades, the defense-first, rim-rolling big man was a key contributor, as a freshman, on a 31-6 UCLA squad that made it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen in 2022-23. Last year's model, comprising seven true freshmen and eight new players overall, failed to gel on the floor, and though Bona anchored a solid defense, the team couldn't get much cooking on the other end of the hardwood.
Last year with the Bruins, Bona averaged 12.4 points on 58.8 percent shooting from the floor and 69.6 percent shooting from the charity stripe, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals a night.
