It took everyone by surprise when the Los Angeles Lakers used the 39th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft to select essentially unknown prospect, Isaac Bonga from Germany.
The Lakers scouting department saw the potential in an 18-year-old kid who, at 6’8″, played point guard for the Frankfurt Skyliners in Germany’s top basketball league.
His physical gifts are certainly what most catches the eye. He is long, athletic and has good control of his body. Add the fact that he already carried playmaking duties for his former team and you have pulled off a potential point forward, the most valuable role in the game today.
