Worth a risk if youre pikking after 15

I think he'll be a better Thon....decent bakkup big who can shoot

I doubt he'll ever gain much weight...maybe 10 lbs max. His dad never did...neither did Bradley. He has that extreme ectomorph body type

The Truth
Why would a GM get fired for taking a high risk, high reward player like Bol Bol? He has arguably top 3 upside in this draft. This isn’t considered a great draft.

We all know he has weaknesses with frail body, positioning, durability, shot mechanics, motor.

But he can handle the ball, shoot, has ridiculous physical profile in height and length, fluidity, can block shots on the interior.

He showed his full potential here and is a top 10 pick easy in my opinion worth the risk the right team will develop him into a beast.

Just shows how most of these Coli cacs and idiots have no clue wtf they're talking about

nikka posted like 5 clips from one game and tried to declare Bol Bol as trash...


And honestly, He hasn't even grown/developed in his body. He needs to put on lean mass but thats about it... No other big in the draft can shoot, handle, or has the soft touch that Bol has.... NOBODY over 7 foot in this draft

gaining weight and staying healthy should be the only risk you have with drafting Bol. Put him on NO with Zo and Zion and them nikkas gonna be on BSPN every night

Thought he cut down, he use to be like 230 or something. He's nowhere near as frail as his dad.

I don't think you take him to be a 5 anyways.

Really what you need to be worried about is what position can he guard, if he's willing to work I don't think it's out of the question that he could play the 3. His offensive game is already there for the most part.

If he ends up not being good enough defensively then you can pair him with a 4 who can guard either position like a Paul Millsap type. Zion actually might be a good pairing, Ingram will kind of create a log jam though with their lineup flexibility.

I'm drafting him top ten. 7 foot 2 guy who csn shoot like that and moves as fluidly as he can? Dribble like he can? Dude moves like a slower, longer Kd. Im taking him and making him a tweener forward to start like they did with KG. I don't expect him to bang but the NBA more and more is rewarding skill. And even if hes not laterally as quick hell be a defensive nightmare for some forwards

big men nowadays are asked to do way too much. their bodies are not built for that. It's hard for someone as big as Bol to keep it up for the entire game.

I watched him play in a couple Oregon games during the year, and he's not at all some frail, wobbly weak guy like a few are tying to paint him as.

He's a video game create a player. He's got elite size and athleticism with a good skill level. I'd take a chance and reach on him in the lottery if I need a big in this draft :manny:
He has never in his life finished a season healthy. That's a huge red flag.
