Chicago Bulls: Intrigue-based Summer League player rankings
24. . Shooting Guard/Forward. KK Mega Bemax, France. Adam Mokoka. 4. player
A player with a lot of promise that is coming from overseas to play with the Chicago Bulls in Summer League is the former KK Mega Bemax soon-to-be 21-year-old Adam Mokoka. A loaded roster at the one and the two for this Summer League team could have a lot of eyeballs keying on Mokoka.
France produced a lot of potent talent for this NBA Draft class, with the headlining name being the first round pick of the Detroit Pistons and 6-foot-9 forward Sekou Doumbouya. Mokoka doesn’t have the same ceiling it seems as Sekou, but he is surely a nice addition to the Summer League roster as a low-risk, medium-reward gamble.
The Chicago Bulls are signing French shooting guard Adam Mokoka to a two-way contract, sources tell The Athletic. The 6-foot-5 Mokoka went undrafted this year after withdrawing from the 2018 NBA Draft.

The news dropped from Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic on his Twitter timeline that Mokoka was joining the Bulls on a two-way contract for the Vegas Summer League. Mokoka originally declared for the 2018 NBA Draft as a projected late-second round pick as a best case scenario. He still has a lot of promise after getting signed as an undrafted free agent this year.
If Mokoka can start to develop an outside shooting game, then he would be worth the gamble for GarPax. He has great leaping ability and a good first step on penetration. The facilitating ability for Mokoka is also in question. Question marks for him will be mopped up in the first two Summer League games against the Lakers and Cavaliers.
