Isaac Bonga is a 6-foot-8, 19-year-old, German prospect. Somewhere, Ernie Grunfeld is drooling at the thought of having Bonga on the Washington Wizards — and luckily for him, Tommy Sheppard found a way to get it done.
Bonga arrived to the nation’s capital after the Los Angeles Lakers needed to create room for Anthony Davis. He, like Jemerrio Jones and Moritz Magner, is largely unknown, even to the biggest of hoop heads.
Instead of digging into the depths of YouTube or reading the dearth of Bonga analysis available on the interwebs, I reached out to resident Bonga expert Alex Regla, who covers the Lakers for Silver Screen & Roll, SB Nation’s Los Angeles Lakers blog.
