Fellow German is making Isaac Bonga’s arrival a bit easier
He sat in an office belonging to Wasserman, the agency that represents him in Los Angeles. His sister had flown in from Dusseldorf, Germany, and a few other prospects were watching the draft. Philadelphia selected him for the Lakers and suddenly, Bonga was playing for Magic Johnson, another 6-foot-9 point guard whom Bonga had tried to emulate growing up.
Even better, he was going to a team with another German player — first-round pick Moe Wagner.
Wagner has become someone Bonga goes to frequently for help as he tries to catch up this summer. It’s a bond that’s making both of them better.
