Summary
Bona possesses valuable strengths such as being a lob threat at the rim in the pick-and-roll, displaying athleticism and rim protecting abilities, and running the floor with speed and quickness. However, there are areas that need improvement, such as offensive skills, the reliance on his dominant hand for post moves, and the tendency to commit unnecessary fouls that can lead to foul trouble. Additionally, they should work on taking his time to make moves and avoiding travel calls by not shuffling his feet.

Notes
Pangos All-American – Las Vegas, NV – 6/6 – 9/2021
Show the ability to catch and finish on the run in transtion. Lob threat in PnR action. Very vocal as a defender, alwasy communicating with his teammates. Tried to block everything at the rim had two impressive blocks, a chase down in transtion and a recovery in PnR coverage, pinning a shot against the glass.
