NBA: Bonga takes South Bay Lakers to the cleaners

The South Bay Lakers lost their second game of the season at the Stockton Kings with 87:120. Rookie Isaac Bonga could not build on his strong performances from his debut.

On the weekend the “Farmteam” of the Los Angeles Lakers could win with 108:16 against the Stockton Kings. However, the Sacramento Kings’ G-League team fought back and the German couldn’t do anything about it this time either.

The 2.06 metre Point Guard, who was drawn with the 39th pick in draft 2018, was unable to build on the strong performance of his debut. Lastly, the 18-year-old scored an outstanding 27 points and got 9 rebounds with impressive efficiency (9/14 FG, 7/7 FT and 2/3 threesome).

In the second duel against the Kings, Bonga could not even stay on the pitch until the end of the match. After 28 minutes he got his sixth foul and had to take a seat on the bench. Finally, Bonga finished the match with 9 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. In addition there were 4 turnovers. The former Frankfurter threw 2/5 out of the field and transformed at least one of his three attempts from downtown.

Meanwhile, Moritz Wagner was not used after the second German draft pick of the Lakers had been pulled up to the NBA team again after a successful debut in the G-League at the weekend.
