Isaac Bonga didn’t put up the strongest stats in his Lakers debut, but the team is still excited about his potential.

Las Vegas — The first time Moe Wagner saw Isaac Bonga working out in the Los Angeles Lakers practice facility, he thought he was watching a center prospect. Given that the Lakers’ latest roster addition measures in at 6’9 with a 7’0 wingspan, Wagner’s misconception is understandable.

After all, most point guard prospects don’t look like Bonga.

”The first thing that stands out is his overall size, but even more so his length. He has these thick shoulders. He’s very strong. He’s tall, he’s lean, so those are the things that really stood out at first,” said Laker summer league coach Miles Simon.
