Adem Bona was drafted in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. The Philadelphia 76ers are elated to have him on their roster, and cannot wait for his impact on the court.
The 41st pick overall was the Pac-12 defensive player of the year in the final year for the conference. His ability to block shots will also come in huge, as he will likely be the backup for All-Star Joel Embiid.
Bona sat down for an interview after being drafted and had this to say about what 76ers fans could expect from him on the floor:
“The one thing about me, you’re always going to get all out effort from me,” he said succinctly. “Every time I step on the floor, I compete and give all the energy I can give. I give all the energy to the team and get to wherever I wanna get to. I think Philly’s getting one of the hardest workers in the draft.”
The 76ers’ first summer league game of the season will come on Monday, July 8th. They will play against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Salt Lake City at the Delta Center.
