Let's begin to breakdown Bona as a NBA Draft prospect before we look at where he is projected to be selected in the second round.
Adem Bona has the potential to be a solid contributor as an NBA big man, but he has some areas for development, so he was not selected in the 1st round of the NBA Draft.
Pros:
- Elite Defense: Bona is a strong defender with a high motor. He excels at blocking shots, rebounding, and can even guard multiple positions.
- Athleticism: Bona has impressive quickness and leaping ability for his size, allowing him to be a presence on both ends of the court, especially in transition offense.
- Developing Offensive Skills: While not a polished scorer yet, Bona shows flashes of a mid-range jump shot and is a decent finisher around the rim.
Cons:
- Size: Bona is on the shorter side for an NBA center at 6'9, which could be a disadvantage against bigger, stronger players.
- Offensive Versatility: Bona's offensive game is limited primarily to the paint area. He needs to develop his shooting range and ball-handling skills to become a more complete offensive threat.
- Foul Trouble: Bona can be prone to fouls, limiting his effectiveness on the court.
Bona's defensive prowess and athleticism give him a strong foundation for the NBA. If he can continue to develop his offensive game and stay out of foul trouble, he could become a valuable asset for a team.
Let's take a look now at which teams are projected to select him in the 2024 NBA Draft.

ESPN and the Bleacher Report have Bona being the first selection of the second round on day two of the NBA Draft and CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated both have him being selected by the New York Knicks which may be an ideal fit for Bona to continue to develop his offensive game.
