During the upcoming 2024 NBA draft, the Sixers made a bold selection with Adem Bona, a Nigerian big man from UCLA, with the 41st overall pick. Standing at 6-8.25 without shoes, Bona may be slightly shorter than the typical NBA center, but his wingspan of nearly 7-4 allows him to make an impact defensively.
Bona is a muscular 243 pounds and has shown potential with his shot-blocking and stealing abilities. Despite not being a three-point shooter, Bona’s impressive wingspan and physicality set him apart from others in his position. His energy and intensity on the court have earned him high praise from draft experts.
The addition of Adem Bona to the Sixers’ roster provides promising talent for the future. With Jared McCain from Duke already selected at No. 16 on Day 1 of the draft, Bona’s defensive potential and relentless playing style make him a valuable asset to the team. Stay tuned for more updates on the Sixers’ draft picks as they continue to shape their roster for success in the NBA.
