That's a pretty insane poster of Bol Bol lunging toward the rim that you have in your background. You have him looking like a Super Hero. Would love to have that scene printed on a T-shirt! Thanks
Bol Bol is from I believe the dinka tribe in South Sudan. They are all built like that. I don’t believe he can actually gain much more I mean it’s his genetics you seen his dad and any of his relatives all of them are chopsticks I think his only option is to find some way to work around it
well, that is not accurate. Former Lakers Gabriel has some muscle, Luol Deng had some muscle. Bol potentially could get some muscle too. Please, do not be so shallow and use simple thinking arguments.
@@gandikuntxurbedja6466 I didn’t mean genetics of the tribe itself but his family specifically of that tribe, and you could try being less antagonistic too
Bol is absolutely better than what he has even shown. There is no doubt in my mind he was underutilized with Vogel, and I really hope Coach B doesn't make that same mistake! I also agree with you, he needs to bulk some and take the idea of lifting in conjunction with living on the practice court as the new norm if he really wants to move to the next level. I do agree he is probably best at the 4 but I sure hope that we see so much more lineup rotations this year as that was one of my biggest gripes about Vogel! There were times when the Suns had a 20-25pt lead in a game and instead of pulling the starters and letting the bench play and get good reg season minutes, Frank kept the stars on the court… I don't understand that mentality
I was ticked at Vogel for not playing Bol, especially when we needed him the most! His rotations were the biggest reason I wanted him gone. Next was losing the locker room and the players respect. Hopefully we have watchable and fun basketball, last year was not fun to watch.
With all the uncertainty and changes around this time of year this has been a refreshing watch. Soo keen to see Bol develop and kick some more a$$ maybe ISO a few supermax players and swat to the grandstand
Pretty sure someone has to be either on the team or same contract for 3 years for bird rights. We will have his early bird, which means the most we’ll be able to offer is like 10m which should be enough.
Give Bol the keys like Wemby and his offensive numbers would be better...the defense tho maybe a couple blocks a game but still needs to get better and seems that's whats holding him back at this point.
@@BIGgamez78yea the 4 is best for him until he gets his weight up playing him at the 5 would be a disaster for them because of dudes like Embiid, The Joker etc etc, that are just too big for him in weight, playing him along KD they could cook up with that lineup so yea at most for right now the 4 is more suitable for Bol
@@Gamblersmoker what does that have to do with him being 25? All im sayin is with him simply getting on a good diet and weightlifting it’s not rocket science Giannis progressively did it in his first 2-3 seasons by year 4 he’s what you see now. Idk maybe Bol don’t have the right personnel around him to have him strictly focus on one thing.He’s gotta show more capability, skill is one thing,talent an other, but capability is his main weakness to me.
Bol always brought good energy ! He is def a fan fav!! The arena would change vibs everytime he did something good.. you could feel it in the air.. i hope one day he will have a great playoff game where he takes over the game to help the suns win a chip.. like with 6 threes or something crazy..
I wonder if that interaction between Bol Bol and Coach Vogel made KD upset and time out Vogel. Allegedly KD stop talking and listening to Vogel towards the end of the season. I’ve heard KD likes Bol Bol and has taken him under his wing.
Why is the stigma that James Jones can't draft? He hasn't exactly had a ton of picks to make but Cam Johnson was a pretty good pick and maybe too early to tell but Camara might be solid too (Although with the wrong team)
@Gamblersmoker To be fair smith seems like a decent contributor but you also have to remember we did have chris paul and cam payne already. Haliburton would have likely not played and got traded.
The reason why bol bol wasn’t played as much was just cuz he can’t screen or box out well. He just doesn’t have the girth to set a solid screen or hold down the paint as compared to Eubanks and Nurkic. Cuz of that his role in the roster became very limited.
Bol getting minutes is a good thing, but putting him at the 5 is the wrong decision. Bol is a 3 or a 4. I do think he should add about 15lbs of muscle and really work on his ball handling, decision making, shot off of the dribble, back to the basket and defensive rotation (flim).
I dont see how you dislike james jones seeing that he was the GM that drafted Mikal, JJ, Ayton and secured CP3 who helped us make the finals. Everything happening last yr was really ishbia decision and not james jones. Jones has done a great job with his tenure we have the winngest % under him since the steve nash days.
Agree this dude has wild takes and can tell he didn't play ball other than at the YMCA. Jones is the reason we made the finals with a horrible owner in Sarver at the time.
@Another30 @Another30 You are using recency bias. No one thought any of those players were going to be as good as they were. And Mikal is a great player so idk what the animosity in regards to him is. Also Haliburton wasn't chosen because of our needs at that moment. Same reason Ayton was chosen over Luka. Ayton and Mikal helped us make the finals which we would've won if it wasn't for monte Williams unwillingness to make changes .
@Another30 we had CP3 we didn't need Haliburton, we needed a PF which Jalen ended up not being that, buts also because we were exceeding expectations. We went from rebuild mode to championship contender immediately, everyone is forgetting that. Also with Ayton, this is my personal belief but I do think give different circumstances he would be a greater player. Monte Williams did not play him correctly and for the same reason why Jalen didn't work out is the same reason we have the Ayton we do today. They didn't invest in Ayton and training him. He was subjected to only getting the ball off screen and roles etc. Why do you think his highest PPG was his sophomore year and he digressed? That's not normal. For most big men they take longer to reach their peak about 5-7 years into the league. Ayton came in averaging 18ppg and 10+ rebs and he didn't improve because monte and how good phoenix became. If we were to start DA career over and put him as the #1 option in the same way book got to develop I'd as we'd easily see a 23+ppg scorer who grabs about 11boards per night. It's too late now though they ruined Ayton. Not saying 23ppg makes him better than Luka, but then it's like Michael vs Hakeem. No one bashes the rockets for taking Hakeem. Lastly, on Luka until he wins a championship I'm not sold that he's the ultimate piece that we passed up. He'd be no better than having KD. KD is a better player than Luka. I also think either Booker or Luka development would have been stunted in the same way Ayton's was because of Lukas style of play. You can't match up two ball dominant players in Book and Luka and expect them to lead you to glory.
Wrong jones is a great gm. Hes done wonders since coming it was the idiot before him Ryan McDonough. Jones got us to the finals with a horrible owner who never wanted to spend. The beal trade was not him that was are new owner trying to make a name for himself. Also putting on weight for guys like this isnt that simple and he still is working out look at kd his carrer has been jist fine for a guy who couldnt bench at the combine. Basketball players are about strenthing the legaments and plyometrics staying mobile and light on the feet.
What coaches fail to see, Bol Bol is built for a run and gun offense
Ride the bench is the only thing he will do
For sure he is getting a bigger role then last year

We were getting smoked on D by Minnesota and Bol Bols length would have been a great shake up at the time but noooooooo, Vogel keeps him on the bench
We had talents, but injuries and bad coaching. Vogel could have definitely given Bol Bol more playing time, especially in the Playoffs.

Sorry, brother
Bol dad was my dad friend
He’s already bulked up more he got to 220 last year wemby is only 210 so I don’t see an issue here
Introduce Bol to Lebrons dealer and it's game over for the league!

Do you play Bol at the 4? I’d like to see him get some starting mins with KD at 3, Nurk at the 5 Booker at the 2 and Morris running the Point.

Big words here. “I think Bol can be a KD”
He should be KD backup. Same type of player.
James jones get a F. When season start when will realize the suns can’t hit a damn 3
Start bol bol
I'm hoping he becomes our 4, then kd can move down to 3
Man Stop it... They have 0 plans for Bol Bol. He will be on the bench again and the front office let that happen.
