Isaac Bonga Fantasy Stats

To help facilitate the trade that sent Anthony Davis from the Pelicans to the Lakers and to help Los Angeles in their quest to get max cap space, the Washington Wizards have acquired forward Moritz Wagner and guards Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones. Jones is likely just going to be a depth piece if he even makes Washington's final roster, but Bonga and Wagner could each see time on a rebuilding Wizards team. Bonga gives Washington a young point guard, an important thing with John Wall injured and Tomas Satoransky heading to free agency. Wagner, meanwhile, is the big get for the Wizards. He can play the four or five and has the ability to score inside and outside and should be able to find minutes as a key bench reserve this upcoming season. He'd be an interesting late round pick in deeper leagues.

The 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.
