Our 2020-21 Washington Wizards player evaluation series continues with Issac Bonga.
In his first season with the Wizards in 2019-20, Bonga had a better-than-expected season in my opinion. Yes, he averaged 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds while playing just 19 minutes a game, but he was also starting the majority of his games (49 in 66 appearances). I certainly didn’t expect to see him be a long-term starter, but I thought he could keep a similar level of production, even if someone llike Deni Avdija was drafted later that fall.
Fast forward a year, and Bonga’s numbers have dropped.
