76ers' Adem Bona: Inks four-year deal with Philly
Bona agreed to a four-year, $8 million contract with the 76ers on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Selected with the 41st overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Bona will now be assured a spot on the 76ers' 15-man roster to open the season after signing with the club. The contract comes after the UCLA product has gotten off to a strong start to the Summer League, averaging 6.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in 22.7 minutes through four games. Though he's shown promise thus far, Bona will be hard pressed to open the season as a member of the 76ers' rotation after the team signed Andre Drummond earlier in the offseason to presumptively slot in as Joel Embiid's backup.

76ers' Adem Bona: Team-high two blocks in win
Bona tallied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Monday's 102-92 win over the Thunder in the Salt Lake City Summer League.
Bona was effective on the defensive end in the club's opening game of the Summer League, and he was hitting shots at an efficient rate. The No. 41 overall pick racked up two blocks, and he was known as a solid interior defender with UCLA as he averaged 1.8 blocks per game in two seasons. In his final collegiate season, Bona averaged 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 33 games.

76ers' Adem Bona: Drafted by Philadelphia
Bona was selected by the 76ers with the No. 41 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Bona played at UCLA for two seasons, and he averaged 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 26.5 minutes per game last year. He has decent abilities on both sides of the ball and is especially productive on the defensive end. However, the 21-year-old shot just 65.2 percent from the charity stripe in college and isn't particularly effective around the perimeter. Bona should have time to develop during his rookie season since the 76ers already have Joel Embiid, Paul Reed and Mo Bamba in the frontcourt.
