Bona’s late-season production hints at upside behind Embiid’s health. If he earns a larger share of Embiid’s absence, Bona can deliver meaningful numbers in blocks and efficiency, making him a tantalizing late-round dynasty stash.

Bona’s energy was evident with rebounds and defensive presence, and while lob opportunities were limited, his timing and positioning indicate potential as a dependable energy big for Nurse’s system.

Bona starts and competes for the backup center role, with length and mobility that may separate him from the veteran group.

Bona emerged as late-season rotation insurance for Embiid, delivering solid FG% and blocks in 25.6 minutes; his role remains contingent on Embiid’s health but carries upside in deeper formats.

Bona stands to absorb Embiid’s pro habits, learning conditioning, defense, and post-play nuance. The mentorship could accelerate Bona’s path to meaningful early-season minutes and a more prominent role in Philadelphia’s frontcourt rotation.
