For arguably the first time since the Los Angeles Lakers selected him with the No. 39 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, Isaac Bonga looked like an NBA player Friday against the Golden State Warriors.
The 18-year-old still hasn’t shown much promise as a shooter, but he managed to end the night with 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field. He also nearly notched a double-double, grabbing 9 rebounds.
However, the most impressive NBA skill Bonga flashed on Friday was his ability to make plays for others, and head coach Luke Walton said on Spectrum SportsNet that said skill one of the main reasons they drafted Bonga.
