Should the Boston Celtics take UCLA big man Adem Bona in the 2024 NBA draft? A 6-foot-10, 240-lb. center from Nigeria, Bona has a very high motor, an absurd 7-foot-4 wing span, and a near-total lack of a jumper.
Bona may not be a modern, highly skilled big man, but might be worth a flier as a depth option able to set hard screens, get rebounds, and protect the rim. And while the Celtics do have a center on the roster who might be a better version of the same sort of player in Neemias Queta, there is no guarantee that Queta will be with Boston longer-term.
