What you want from a bench is either that they come off with a massive jolt of energy and wear down the other team, or that they slow the game down to a defensive grind and hold an even point differential and control of the ball when the starters are back on the court.
Bonga is the second sort, and might give some insight on how Nurse is going to manage his games. Personally, I think it's fun to see the opposition stars get frustrated at not being able to score at will against a guy making 5% of his salary. I also find that if a team leans on energy alone off the bench, they usually get run by the other team's stars.
My thought anyway. I'm probably totally wrong.
