Will the reigning Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year actually contribute for a contender in Year 1?
It would be natural to assume that former two-year UCLA Bruins power forward/center Adem Bona won't be a part of his new NBA team's rotation during his rookie season in 2024-25.
During a new interview on "The Rights To Ricky Sanchez" podcast, Philadelphia general manager Daryl Morey revealed that he does not expect Bona to play rotation minutes regularly for his club, but he does think Bona will be good enough to warrant backup minutes if 2023 MVP Sixers center Joel Embiid misses extended time. Given that Embiid has never in his career played more than 68 games in a regular season, that seems incredibly possible.
"So I do think Bona could give us minutes," Morey added. "And he's playing 10-15 minutes in games when Joel's out." Bona, 21, enjoyed a decorated run with Mick Cronin's Bruins from 2022-24. He was the lone freshman starter on a 2022-23 squad filthy with future pros that advanced all the way to the Sweet Sixteen. Bona was named a Pac-12 All-Defensive Teamer, a Pac-12 All-Freshman Teamer, and the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year that season.
