Five NBA 2nd round picks who can become stars

Jonah Bolden has all it takes to become a 76ers great

The 76ers love for Aussie players continued when they picked up Josh Bolden with the 36th pick in the 2017 NBA draft.

Bolden started his college basketball career with UCLA but he felt underutilized in his only season with the Bruins and decided to forego his college eligibility to play professionally.

Bolden signed up with FMP Beograd in the 16-17 season and averaged 12.9 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He won the ABA League Top Prospect after his stellar season with Beograd.

Bolden is comfortable with the ball in his hand and likes to set the pace after grabbing a rebound, he is a high IQ player with an ability to stretch the floor.

He has the ability to protect the rim but still has to work to become an elite shot blocker, Bolden is ideally equipped to switch screens & guard out on the perimeter while still being able to work on the glass & bang in the post.

If Bolden had stayed at UCLA for one more year he would have been a lottery pick but going to Serbia worked against him. He is still a top talent who can prosper against the top talent present in the NBA.
