I can easily see that happening with the 31st because he's arguably a comparable prospect to Missi imo but we don't have to use the 19th to get him like we would Yves and it doesn't look like we even brought in YM. But drafting him at 19 would be completely unnecessary.
Personally I still like at least 3-4 other prospects over Bona at 31 but I could live with it in the 2nd rd. He is a tremendous athlete and I'm certainly NOT saying he's comparable talent to Ben Wallace but his athleticism and style of play does remind me of him. If the Raps could develop him, he could turn out to be a really good rotation big (and ofc even The Fro took several years to really break out, just sayin').
I like Bona because of the grit he brings to the table;
What concerns me is he is far more likely to get a double double from rebounds and blocks than rebounds at points (as both routes are unlikely) because he is so bad on offense.
He is a guy you could park in the G-League and hope to teach the basic fundamentals of shooting and then you could get a pretty nice piece but to your point there are 3-4 guys I would sooner take that are left.
