Lakers Select Isaac Bonga With 39th Pick
6 years agoThe Los Angeles Lakers have sent a 2019 second-round pick (via Chicago) to the Philadelphia 76ers for the 39th pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, German guard/forward Isaac Bonga. Listed at 6-foot-9, Bonga is labeled as a point forward with legitimate ball-handling skills and has been on some NBA teams' radars for some time now. Bonga has gotten by more on size than skill in the European leagues, so it remains to be seen how his game will translate to the big stage. The Lakers have a lot to think about this offseason with the pursuit of several big-name free agents, and Bonga seems to be heading towards getting stashed in his first year.
