Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Bona started in all but one of his 66 appearances for UCLA during his two-year career with the Bruins. While he was a highly productive player for the Bruins, his game took a massive jump between his freshman and sophomore seasons, particularly on the offensive end of the court. He averaged 7.7 points and 5.3 rebounds across 22.9 minutes per game in his first year with the program, but those numbers bumped to 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 blocks across 26.5 minutes per game as a sophomore. However, Bona saw a drastic decrease in efficiency, as he shot 67.5% from the field as a freshman but "only" 58.8% in his second. Bona was named the 2022-23 Pac-12 Rookie of the Year, and he was also named to the 2023-24 All-Pac-12 First Team. Bona also got recognized as the 2023-24 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. Bona is an explosive and quick player on both ends of the court. That works in his favor on the offensive side of the ball as he can stretch the floor and drive to the rim despite being a non-factor as an outside shooter. He's also one of the most efficient rim finishers in the country, and that'll likely be his bread and butter at the next level, especially if the shooting doesn't improve. He's also a better passer than he's given credit for. Bona is a bit undersized to play power forward at the next level, but he compensates for his lack of length with his explosiveness and mobility. Bona shouldn't have issues handling the physicality of playing against tougher or taller opponents. Other areas of improvement are his tendency to commit fouls and lack of activity on the glass, two areas in which he needs to work to improve his NBA profile as a non-shooting big man. Bona is ready to make an impact at the NBA level with his defensive ability as he has the explosiveness, bulk and mobility to be a competent defender even if he's not the best rebounder and if he fails to read coverages properly at times. His offensive game still needs work, but Bona can be effective as a backup big man in his rookie year at the next level. His work on his offensive game will ultimately determine if he can be an NBA-caliber starting big man, but the potential and physical traits are there.

Inks four-year deal with Philly
CPhiladelphia 76ers
July 14, 2024
Bona agreed to a four-year, $8 million contract with the 76ers on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Selected with the 41st overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Bona will now be assured a spot on the 76ers' 15-man roster to open the season after signing with the club. The contract comes after the UCLA product has gotten off to a strong start to the Summer League, averaging 6.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in 22.7 minutes through four games. Though he's shown promise thus far, Bona will be hard pressed to open the season as a member of the 76ers' rotation after the team signed Andre Drummond earlier in the offseason to presumptively slot in as Joel Embiid's backup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Takes part in Chicago workout
CFree Agent
June 19, 2024
Bona was among several prospects who participated in a workout for the Bulls on Monday, according to Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Bulls hold the No. 11 pick in the first round in the 2024 NBA Draft, but it's unclear what kind of player they are targeting. If they want to add a frontcourt player, Bona could be a solid addition to the roster, but selecting him with the 11th pick might be a bit of a reach since his offensive game is not nearly as developed as his defensive skill set. Bona averaged 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game during the 2023-24 college season with UCLA.
