The 7-foot-2 Dutch native, who transferred to Michigan State from Charlotte, averaged 10.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game for the Spartans last season. Bonke, who also hit 34.2 percent of his three-pointers, will face Germany on Thursday and Croatia on Sunday. With his impressive skills and height, NBA and EuroLeague scouts will be closely monitoring Bonke's progress. The move should provide Bonke with an excellent opportunity to prepare for the upcoming NCAA season.",
