He's not on a team with Jokic right now. He hasn't been for the past 2 seasons. At no point as he ever shown he has a similar level of talent to Wembanyama. Never.


:dahell:HES ON A TEAM WITH KD AND BOOK.

PUT HIM ON A TEAM LIKE DETROIT
AND LET HIM FLOURISH

:devil:

Stop it. If people rated him that highly, he wouldn't be sitting on the end of the bench regardless of who's team he's on. No one getting 11 minutes a game is highly sought after.

You said he didn't get the opportunity because of Jokic in Denver and now KD and Book in Phoenix

You post his Orlando clips where he sort of got more minutes, they chose not to keep him on their team and then you say he's in same tier as Chet and Wemby. Oh wow. Either that's a really low tier in your opinion or you are overrating the hell out of Bol Bol.

DRAFT POSITION MATTERS.

HES PLAYING BEHIND #1 BANCHERO
AND #8 WAGNER IN ORLANDO.

THERES NEVER BEEN A 7 FOOTER
IN HISTORY WHO MOVES LIKE THIS.

HE CAN TRUELY BECOME THE NEW KD.

so? He said Bol Bol is as good and then doubled down on it
Context. He said Wemby isn’t the first player of his height with that skill set, and used Bol Bol as an example. He also said Bol Bol is lazy, whereas Wemby wants to be great.

:ld: PROBABLY EXPECTED THEM
TO FINISH WITH A BETTER RECORD
THAN LAST SEASON.

WILL THEY GET THE #1 PICK AGAIN?



:devil:

This is where the NBA is VERY hypocritical.

I get it. The league loves Wemby and wants to see him in big games immediately. However, if the Spurs did everything in a short sighted manner, a) they wouldn't have him-- remember when everyone wanted the Spurs to finally tank cuz they wanted to stay on the treadmill? b) would do a lot of crazy stuff to try to compete now, and they'd honestly get killed for that too. Anytime a young player is teammates with a 30 year old, it's always "trade the vet, get picks, focus on the young guys' timeline." The Spurs are doing that and are being criticized. I'm surprised we haven't heard one of these idiots suggest they loan Wemby to a contender like in soccer.

Fair or not, it is a little odd SA hasn't won at least a little more than last season. Of course, they sabotaged the first couple months with that ridiculous Sochan at PG experiment.

Wemby's the better player but it's impossible to deny Holmgren's impact on OKC. Yes, SGA might be the MVP but Chet is the only difference between last year's team and they've already won more games than last season and might finish first in the west. He also started at center to begin the season while Victor took a couple months. That was a really big deal given his frame.
Part of the problem was simply not letting him rock with Tre Jones. If the goal was simply to let Wemby develop, wins be damned, then pair him with a smart PG who doesn't turn the ball over and will just feed him.

What's the excuse for why Bol Bol can't put in work off the bench?


As someone who always points out the political prisoners of the league, Bol Bol ain't one of them. Bol is an example of hard work beating talent when talent don't work hard.
