Remember Jonah Bolden? The prep star from Australia who chose UCLA Basketball over Louisville, Indiana, and Kentucky among others? That lanky 6’10” forward who played atop Steve Alford’s 1-3-1 press for a season?
I don’t blame you if you’ve forgotten (we all want to forget 2015-16), but now, after playing a year professionally in Serbia, Bolden is flying up several draft boards and could be selected in next Thursday’s NBA Draft.
Bolden arrived at UCLA in 2014-15 but was ruled ineligible by the NCAA stemming from his move from Australia to a traditional American high school.
