Adam Aaronson: Nick Nurse seemed optimistic talking about the idea of Joel Embiid and Adem Bona playing together. He said that in those lineups, Embiid is the four and Bona is the five. Highlighted high-low passing, rebounding and rim protection as areas where that pairing can thrive.
Adam Aaronson: Adem Bona says he's still working on his jumper no matter whether coaches want him to do it in games or not. He hopes it can eventually be part of his arsenal.
“The atmosphere within the team is very good, and we have a great bond,” Bona told Eurohoops. “The age balance is also very good; we’re a team made of experienced and young players. The bond between us is excellent, and our team chemistry, both on and off the court, is incredible. I’m very excited to be a part of this team. This will be my first EuroBasket, and it’s a huge achievement for me. So, I’m very excited.” Bona admitted that Turkey’s goal is to win a medal. “One hundred percent. We have big goals as a team; we came here to win a medal. Winning a medal is a goal for us.”

After registering 1.2 blocks over 15.6 minutes in his rookie NBA season with the Sixers, Bona got a 91 rating on blocks in NBA2K26. “It’s amazing for me,” Bona commented. “I’ve only been in the NBA for one season, and to get a rating like this after my first year shows how hard I’ve worked. It also shows the trust my team has in me and the opportunity they’ve given me. They’ve given me the chance to do my best. I think this rating is a testament to my hard work for the team. Of course, it’s also a testament to the team’s confidence in me.”
