Do You See Bol Bol Ever Becoming A NBA All-Star?
yes
he needs mentorship, and hes darkskin, hes young so he thinks they hating cuz he african dark and too good. but does not work hard & similar to wemby dudes 7'4" but produces rebounds and inside point like they PJ TUCKER. If i could get his ear, id take him in a gym and work him until he wants me dead... then hes an all star. without that hes done
Of fucking course not
you terrible fam @@Tdrummer888
😂😂😂
You forgot to mention what I think might be his biggest weakness. He has ZERO court vision. He averages less Assist per minute than any player in the NBA. He will go GAMES without registering a single assist. In today's NBA Bigs are expected to be able to locate and pass the ball to the open shooter. With Bol the defense KNOWS if he gets the ball and dribbles it once he is 100% going to shoot the ball so he's very easy to defend.
He did mention that
You forgot to watch the video and went straight to the comment section
Let him play and get a chance
@@BkJayBOP went into MUCH more detail. This guy barely mentioned the specifics of Bol's lack of court vision
@@jdrmanmusiqking fact
He's one of those players where the good parts of his game can be all seen in the highlights and nowhere beyond. Literally a player reliant on a highlight reel for his reputation.
Accept if he had starting mins. He would be averaging 19 and 12 points. But he has had a fair shot. Just like the saugy yt man who made this video. Neither know what y'all are talking about
@@christopherevans947you’re dumb, you don’t what you’re saying
I think that his worst enemy is his bad attitude. It means his teammates and coaches had a hard time to get along with him because he is not a good listener. It means that he is an individual player, not a team player. An unstoppable talent without understanding the importance of teamwork, chemistry and unity is considered a liability to any organization.
he barely speaks english. No attitude ever. That's videogame white boy talk.
Yeah I agree. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you aren’t coachable, it’s gonna show in your game. He has all the tools and abilities to be great and he’s not using his God given capabilities to the best of his ability.
Do you think Victor Wembanyama would have a bad attitude if he was riding on the bench
But I guess bowl bowl should be grateful even though his talent is on that level
And if you ever saw him in an interview, you’d see that he’s a nice guy who loves the game
@@Mammoth17 these guys think only from their perspective.. i agree with you and more could be said!
@@Mammoth17Yeah. A lot of people don’t acknowledge that opportunity and trust is huge. Especially in the early years of a players career when they’re developing.
I look at a guy like Jaden Ivey, and can’t help but think that if he was in a position where he can just go out and play through the struggles, he could have had just as fast of a rise into stardom as a Donavan Mitchell.
Bol Bol is a oversized point forward who has no vision with a kd body type without the crazy shot making, so when you have a player who needs the ball to make a impact but isn't a offensive engine plus a defensive liability all you get is a end of bench player.
He plays better than victor. Because he made 6 3pters once and got 20-10.
@ItIsYouAreNotYour chemistry is more important than scoring, it's a team sport
@@Ajolyfellow10 It's joke off what the dude was comparing irrelevent bs too.
@@ItIsYouAreNotYour oh, sorry man, mb.
Bench player huh? Try subbing en 4 it.
The kid was purely a creation of hype. He was always slow, awkward and low energy.
He never had stamina, but he has handles and moves great for 7'2". Unfortunately, his BB IQ is horrendous.
Bol Bol is the only nba player maybe EVER who is hardly nba level and is commonly respected as a star level player
His name and height is why
He can blossom into a NBA all star?
Find me any All Star ever who in their 5th season was playing 2 minutes/game. This is pure fantasy.
He can doesn't mean he will, which is basically same statement as yours
@@bojannisic2906 BY this statement literally anyone in the NBA can be an All Star, lol.
@@CM-ft9ep it seems like you don't quite understand that wordplay. And by the way, yes, everyone have a chance to become All Star, but that doesn't mean that everyone will.
Steve Nash was a role player the first 8 years of his career. Became a pretty good pg in Dallas. Then evolved into a Super Star 2 time MVP in Phoenix. Sooooo, it’s possible. 🤷🏽
@@ninersdodgersthunder All true. But, Nash was averaging 30+ minute/game by his third year and was a super solid 14/7 by his fifth. Bol has no role on the Suns (2.5 minutes/game) and hasn't really on any team he's been on.
He was the number 44th pick for a reason dawg . Nobody had high expectations for him . Only casuals did . Teams knew he would be a liability on offense &. Defense . He can’t go down low & can only spot up & really doesn’t shoot all that great for him to be a shooting big & he gets killed on defense . Watching him in Oregon he got exposed . Teams saw that . & he became damn near the last pick in the draft .
Agreed...only people who look at highlights would have high expectations
Bol Bol also wasn’t selected a couple of picks after Zion, he was 43 picks after Zion. He shot 52% in Oregon in his only season of D1 playing only 9 games, that’s not much of a sample size.
@@redorange exactly. Ppl who really had high expectations for him were delusional af . I expected he would be exactly who he is now . A role player who is going to bounce around from team to team . Way too skinny & work ethnic never has been there . He showed no physical & mental development from high school to the collegiate level .
Agreed Bol Bol has a big army of Twitter fans who don't watch basketball talking about how great he is even tho he is an extremely limited basketball player who most people wouldn't have heard of if not for the Twitter and Media hype.
Hes not a liability on offense or defense. Clearly you never watched him play. They don't want him to be a star plain and simple.
Bol Bol was never supposed to be the "next big thing." His draft projection was always categorized as *2nd round to undrafted.* All of his shortcomings we're seeing in the NBA are precisely why he wasn't held in high regard during the 2019 draft.
Yup. If MPJ can blow his spine out and still be drafted in the lottery, a broken foot wouldnt have dropped Bol to the 2nd.
Bol going to the Magic was the best thing for him. Nuggets and Suns are in playoff mode. They aren't prioritizing developing younger players, they want to win now, so Bol being on those teams will not help him improve. But when he was on a then-rebuilding Magic team, he finally had a chance to develop and get minutes. But when a rebuilding team like the Magic don't want you, that raises red flags about Bol himself. What is he doing that is preventing him from realizing his potential? We can't blame the coaches anymore, Magic gave him the opportunity he was looking for but he couldn't keep it going.
I mean Bol Bol is 24 years old. Young yes but he should have more things figured out.
I think the issue with him in Orlando was they were all in on him and he even resigned with them, but then they shifted gears on developing Paolo and they waived him. But yes you are right, the Nuggets and Suns are playoff caliber teams and their priority is not at this moment developing talent
Denver is actively developing the hell out of two younger players in Peyton Watson and Christian Braun, who are both killing it btw, so I don’t buy that. The guy doesn’t have the competitive spirit to be successful at the NBA level. Nothing wrong with that, it’s unbelievably hard to compete for a spot at that level. Talent is more common than that next level work ethic that most of us couldn’t fathom.
@@twoodbeats Denver has developed a lot of young guys lol. Christian braun last season is a good example and he was key to their championship run.
I argue the opposite, bol bol has been great on the suns playing with kd his idol basically has really made a difference and you can tell watching him play
Bol Bol’s downfall is his height… at 7’3 and a ex-NBA dad Bol never had to work hard to do good ever since he was a kid. With his height he was bound to be a starter and now as he plays against the best in the world that lack of work ethic is now showing. Genetics can only take you so far
This would make sense if he was a traditional big. But even in high school and college he was always one of the top players playing like a skilled guard. It’s not like he was just standing in the paint and dunking on the smaller competition. To say someone with a skill set that doesn’t match his 7’3 frame didn’t work hard is crazy.
Horrible take.
@@Quentlo you are right to an extent. He worked hard. He doesn’t work NBA hard and it’s showing. There a big difference between NBA and college work ethic
@@antione horrible hair
Absolute garbage take...making the NBA requires hard work, playing in college requires hard work. What evidence do you have that he doesnt work hard?
He went #44. I looked the 5 guys before/after him. So out of those 11, only 3 others are in the league and one of those just barely. So he is about what you expect from a #44. And btw, that’s not a “few” spots from #1. It’s a massive difference. Most of the guys at that position aren’t in the NBA after a few years…cmon man.
It’s been about 3 years now. When is bol going to improve and if not when is he going to the g league because he looks awful.
@@coolbreeze3793 I think this is it, regardless of how much effort he puts into himself. However, if he was more likable, he'd PROBABLY receive less hate. I mean, Cam Newton was a poster boy for the NFL his first 5 years and did everything "right," including playing well, but it didn't matter to the media or his haters.
I was wondering the same thing. People don’t realize how special and rare elite basketball talent is
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview apart from reading he lacks effort in practices it’s not him at all it’s his fans. Dudes are saying he should run point, comparisons to durant. It’s wild.
Bol's problem is IQ, he has all the physical gifts needed to be a special player at his size, but he doesn't have the brains to pair with. What a waste.
yup. despite the physical gifts, players still need to be smart in order to be serviceable.
He’s a forward and when the nuggets were down to 3 string forwards during Jokic’s 2nd mvp season and bol bol couldn’t crack the rotation even off the bench, I knew he was horrible despite not watching him play.
I'm watching him right now and he's horrible to watch. His passing is wayward, he keeps the ball for too long, can't shoot, can't defend. Shaq is crazy for thinking that Bol Bol can do everything that Wemby can.
Just being "naturally gifted" doesnt cut it in nba, bol bol, zion, guys who were athletically gifted didnt have to put in a lot of work to dominate high school and college, but in the nba everyones a freak athlete, the ones who work hard to improve are the ones who succeed
can’t compare zion & bol. they both on 2 different platforms
It is much better to play smarter and to know how to win than to work harder to play because it would save a lot of energy for next game. Playing 82 regular games with playoff games are very brutal and exhausting. What I learned is from Jokic because he shared his burdens to his teammates.
@@jonathanikeda8727 Dude, he can't even get into a starting role. He can't even get a top bench role. If anything he's not working hard enough and the coaches see it and know he's a hindrance. Westbrook played hard every night. You need the skill to back it up. Working hard isn't the issue. It's the schedule bouncing from time zone to time zone and being on the road.
Bol Bol, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III. All have the same core issues. What seems like no real motor and a real lack of IQ on defense.
It seems like Bol Bol is one of those guys that developed by playing a ton of basketball and being facilitated by his teammates. He just needs to realise it’s that supplemental work he needs to focus on. Hitting the gym, getting his cardio up and studying his games for improvement in his decision making. I imagine nba teams have given up on his potential because they can’t seem to get that message through to him.
He can't get muscle. The time he tried to do that got his season ending injury. His body and genes do not let him gain weight. People likes to say "Just hit the gym bro!" without take notice of the body type of the person.
@@RomnysGonzalez you can do a ton of exercises that don’t involve getting bigger in the gym. Stability and mobility, explosive strength, hand eye coordination, etc. he doesn’t need to get bigger, but his athleticism needs work.
An example of a rich man a camel and the eye of a needle
@@TheFiki14 True but its extremely hard for somebody to bulk up
No one who actually knows basketball thinks Bol bol was ever better than Wemby.
The Bol bol stans who constantly cry about him not getting playing time needs to watch this
Ya mean, like...., Shaq? I think Shaq knows a little about basketball.
@@skineyemin4276shaq didn’t even know who Christian wood was when he was averaging 21 and 10 a game.
Well, he knew about Bol Bol, so.., you feel good about yourself. Stay wrong.@@alexescutia4805
@@skineyemin4276 So does MJ and he has never had success as owner. Being a professional basketball player doesn't always translate to being a good analyst..
@@PrtyNealYour response to that person has nothing to do with his response to your original comment. Lol
Its his attitude and work ethic
people need to stop overhyping some players and start keeping quiet until those players show up for real
@@norsharn2883 Also, people need to stop bitching why a player isn't getting minutes. It's obvious why. As if they are holding him out as a secret weapon or to screw up his career. He's on the bench for a reason and it most likely is his attitude and work ethic. Either way he's a hindrance on the court. Have they sent this dude to the G-league at all?
I heard his interviews with NBA teams was awful and he declined work outs with multiple teams.
people are giving bol bol so much excuses he's bad it's fine what's not fine is using the race card they tried to do with wendy, wendy is just better clearly a rookie is better than rookie bol bol and current will bol bol get better idk it will be fun to watch em get better because most 7ft gets injured fast
who the fuck is wendy man
I agree ppl were so quick to say it’s because he’s black and not as marketable when he’s been in the league for years wemby is clearly the better player right now
@@jpjovs1786Wendy’s mascot! Knew she was a baller
@@jonathank786i’m not disagreeing or anything i’m just confused on how bol bol being more black matters? or whatever
Maybe he can become the shot blocking rebounder that the Phoenix Suns need? I don't know what it would take to open up his eyes to see this, but he has got a big opportunity here in Phoenix. Good luck Bol!
Bro will never be a rebounder
This was a great video. I have done a complete 180 on Bol. Going into the draft I thought he would be special in the league, now on the Suns I can’t help but think of the more deserving players out there who aren’t named Bol who don’t get the chance they deserve.
thank you🙏🏽
Bol bol isn't even getting minutes to show how "bad" he is..killian hayes is not a nba caliber player and srill get rotation minutes. Bol bol is being held back plain and simple bc they dont want him to be a star in this league. Brooklyn coach did this to cam thomas except not nearly to the same extent and jahlil okafor back in Philly after his rookie season.
@@davidpark2509 so your argument is that the Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and every other NBA team who has seen Bol play 1919 minutes of in-game ball plus who knows how much in-practice ball doesn’t see what you see? I think he has been given more than a fair chance at this point.
Bol played in 9 games at Oregon and made a total of 13 three pointers
52% a lot less impressive on 13 attempts
Yeah, he missed most of the season injured.
@Thurokiir1 Yeah I don't understand how someone could say he's the best 3 point shooter based off 13 made attempts in 9 games
@@moronsaltable It's bias non-sense. At best it's devils advocate.
Idgaf I still wanna see Bol Bol win...
bol bol is so wholesome. such a nice dude just needs coaching to help develop his vision
He's one of those players you can use in NBA 2k
He a beast in 2K🤣
@@Rieky22
It would be fun to make one per each game. My friend rules with Jonny Flynn in 2k11.
Bol was a cancer on the Denver Nuggets. Every time he got minutes we’d start losing. He had a huge fan base of casuals who sincerely thought he had potential to be a superstar. It was hard to trade him because no team wanted him. The Nuggets had to package him with another player.
Him being drafted in the 2nd round makes sense. His max potential is being a back up center for a bottom feeder team that needs a fan favorite to get a higher attendance and sell more jersey’s.
Could have just waived him lol he was the 44th pick and a Rookie on a minimum deal lmao. Don't act like he was impossible to get rid off.
Bol bol has more talent than jokic. They just didn't want him to become a star in this league bc hes far from marketable.
Detroit might be a good place for him. Yes they're losing like crazy but if he can figure a way to change his mindset and learn to dominate, Cade and Bol Bol would be an interesting 1-2 punch especially in the pick and roll.
I laughed when he went viral during preseason and ppl tried to start comparing his talent to Wemby 😅🤣 Bol Bol got caught up being a celeb and stopped working… he can’t sniff Wemby’s jock strap
I think the problem with Bol is his coaches before arriving to the pros. Bol doesn't seem to have much experience playing as a traditional center. He's a full on guard in a center's body. Unlike Wemby or Chet who seem to understand the center position as well as the play of a guard.
I think we are not seeing Bol in the games right now because they are preparing him to be a center, as he doesn't add much value as a guard style player. Developing a basketball IQ as a center will take some time for a player who thinks like a guard.
It’s been 5 years, soooo
It’s been 5 years, soooo
And? It's taken some G-league players 4 years to reach role-player status on an NBA roster. College players used to not have a significant role until they were a senior or junior at minimum. Bol is on an NBA roster's bench, so there must be a reason he's there. He hasn't played much all season, and its not like they gave him minutes and they took them away because he screwed up in games. The Suns plan when signing him could have been development from the beginning.
Bro Bol Bol is never gonna be something he has performed relative to his draft position.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 People called Lonzo a bust 3 years in and he was almost looking like one, until the right coaching came in.
He could have developed in Denver. He never played in denver because his attitude and effort was piss poor. If he worked his tail off and committed to develop and learn in denver. He would be a different story.
Manute Bol was a 7'7 shot blocker , the 3 shown was a 1 time thing where he hit a few in a game more blocks than points , If that dont tell you the whole story, His son was MUCH more versatile than his dad but interesting to see if he will get it together
Manute led the league in block shots. His son will never be a stat leader in anything positive.
Do you think hes lazy ? or do you think he doesnt have enough skill ? cause I watched both guys play and the son is much more skillful than the father ever was
He is not good enough. Manute averaged 5 blocks in 26 minutes. That is pretty dang skillful. @@VeN0m88
@@RK-ry1vz Its not skillful it's the least skill out of all attributes, the guy was as tall as a tree I hope he can block , sean Bradley was horrific he wasnt a bad blocker neither. Manure was horrible on the offensive side, His son takes it coast to coast you never saw Manute with the ability to pull that off and with the speed this kid has, You must have not seen him play and your just looking at a stat sheet
Oh so it takes no skill to block shots... got it. His son is not good enough. He is a waste of space in the league. Every team he has gone to he cannot crack the lineup... why ? He is not good enough. @@VeN0m88
1:57 and now Victor is averaging 20,10 and 3assits leading the league in blocks/game and playin sub 28 minutes. Bol bol started games for the Magic with full minutes last year and he was nowhere near this type of production
He clearly needed more time in college. He only spent one season at Oregon & was injured for a lot of it so the sample size was small. But kids just wanna get paid as soon as possible & the NBA is always willing to bet on "the highest upside".
yup, specifically, four years. kai sotto did have that same issue just because of the one and done rule.
both kai and bol bol will be the reasons why going to the draft later can be a safe choice for players. just look at jaime jaquez jr.
@denzelminimo1883 i think the new NIL rules will convince a few more star players to stick around in college a little longer too.
@@the503creepout7 well, yup. also, there are athletes that really wanted or had to pursue their degrees in their college careers, just like what Tacko Fall and CJ McCollum did
@denzelminimo1883 i love seeing players graduate. Even with the extra tutoring, attention, perks, & healthcare, some athletes get - graduating is a huge accomplishment. Unfortunately(imo), i think the days of most players in basketball/football staying to become 4yr players at one school will become a rarity with the new transfer portal rules. Kinda seems like if a 4or5* rated recruit gets redshirted his freshman year - transfers. Best player on a mid-major one season - transfer to power5(now more like power2). I'm not tellin you anything u dont already know. You obviously gotta pretty good grasp on what's happening on the ncaa landscape. But still: nil, conference realignment, transfer portal - it is the era of player empowerment. But it's also kinda the wild wild west where only the strong survive & just get stronger, while the rest either fold or struggle to survive.
@@the503creepout7 yup. I can see the same thing in my country's college sports landscape. Majority of our athletes graduated from college.
It doesnt matter how skilled you are, if you dont have any work ethic or passion for the game youll only be but so good. And bol bol has neither the basketball iq, work ethic, passion, nor enough skill to make up for all those deficiencies. He has had the opportunities to show what he can do, and he just isnt good.
You know non of that because you don't know him or anyone around him
@ThouArtOfWar0724 I'm just going off of his history so far in the nba, the actions that he has taken and what other people said about him. And if you actually followed his career in real time it's easy to see. If he had average nba iq he would be getting more minutes. He was a minus 16 in the 4 minutes he played with the sun's the other night. How can you be a negative defender and a bad rebounder at 7'4? And he already had years (since 2019) to improve and yet he isn't even capable of breaking the rotation even when given the opportunity to play and show what he can do.
The bottom line is that no NBA team can afford to have a player who can't shoot a three pointer. It's unfair but if he can't shoot threes, he isn't going to play.
@conradk without a 3 pointer he could play like Rudy golbert (who is still valuable) . But he didn't put enough time in the weight room and is a negative defender. He isn't good at anything, he has maybe a couple areas where he is mediocre at best, then he is bad at everything else.
@@conradkSo Gobert can shoot threes? Come on man…not every NBA player can shoot the 3.
Never believed in him coming out of college. He's a 7'3 SG that can't guard the PF or Center and he has very poor lateral movement. Move like a SG on offense but can't guard nobody on the defensive end. He's TERRIBLE at tryna guard Guards on the switch.. I hear you talking bout Bol being the best shooter out of college of 18 players but you forgot to tell us Bol played 9 games and everybody else played atleast 22 lol
This didn’t age well 😂
Id like to see the Pacers pick him up because if any coach can fix him its Rick and if any player can maximize his potential its Haliburton. Indiana could do worse to shore up their defense and rebounding for the cost than give him a shot. Jalen Smith Obi Toppin and Aaron Nesmith have all had their careers saved by being acquired by the Pacers and Bol is only one class behind them.
Not a bad take here. I c ur vision & I like it.
#PACERSSSSSSSE
Anyone with haliburton gonna improve even if it’s just slightly
I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever refer to Zion as "slightly undersized" in my life.
Undersized vertically, not horizontally.
I have 🤣🤣
This Video didn’t age too well.
He also came in much lighter than expected during the NBA combine which heavily affected his draft stock. Teams were worried about his ability to put on size, and it looks like they were right.
I never saw the situation as you describe it. I don't remember everyone saying how amazing he was going to be. Personally I never thought he would be great like you're saying.
WE ALL LOVE BOLBOL!
Bol has been getting more minutes this past week, and he had 14 pts. He has played well .
The worst weakness of Bo Bol is that coaches simply dont believe in Him
He gives them nothing to believe in.
So if someone can help fix his attitude then this guy could be a good gamble
If anyone saw Bol Bol as an all star, he won’t fall to last 😂.
He has ALL the physical gifts just doesn't want it bad enough. Think about this for a second, he is on the same team as two or three future hall of famers. Does anyone think he gets with Book or Kd on what they do to practice and get better???? People who want to be great, seek out those who are already there and do exactly what they are doing. Bol just doesn't love the game like that.
I just feel like bol bol just need to be on floor more in get more minutes he will be alright
If he can hang around and under perform for 5 more years, he will have made $20 million. Thank you very much.
He need those special vitamins that the top talent get
Seems like no one is saying the obvious. Dude HAS TO be lazy. If he is giving productive game minutes and isn't playing, it's laziness.
I think you should update this, Bol's last 3 games, have been outstanding. Due to injuries he has gotten more minutes and has been lights out.
People just wanna hate 25/8
Overrated talent. Tall, with coordination and touch, but lacks agility. As my hs used to say, he "steps in the bucket" when he moves laterally. Hes got an unusually high center of gravity which leads to him being slow changing directions. Combine that with his poor instincts, lack of awareness and being completely devoid of any intangibles, you get a player who shouldnt even be in the league.
You the best way to settle a debate to see who is the best. A 1 vs 1
If i'm Bol Bol i'd bulk up and want to be a 7'3 pure rim protecting pick, roll, & lob big. Screw the shooting and the ability to dribble, if i'm one of the tallest in the game i'd wanna be one of the strongest too. If i'm Bol Bol i'd be hitting up Steven Adams to train me over off-seasons.
This man got a glimpse of the NBA hedonistic lifestyle and became content with life. Thats another reason for his downfall which affects so many players today
I ran into him and his handlers in Orange County and i asked one of the coaches why they didn't teach him sky hook or to play with his back to basket?? I mentioned Kareem and they said Bol Bol was more ATHLETIC than Kareem. I laughed 😅 and said good luck. His people are to blame for his disappointment.
Dudes on 2m a year to play ball. I think that he sleeps just fine.
Imagine Bol Bol with a member mentality. He would be a hall of famer
member?
This is a different era that unless your an established star like Klay Brickson or Kobe the Iron Byrant, chucking so many shots and missing is sure to get you benched
"mamba", not..., "members only".
@@russellcast1749 You member...
I don't understand why he doesn't get more minutes. Some players who are half as good as him get minutes to produce. They got him on the tightest leash. It makes no sense.
Just a few picks later... bruh was 43 picks later
And people don't realise this about his dad he was 50 in NBA this dude can play til 50, shooting ova 50% from the three in the field WTF....
Interestingly enough he had 2 back to back games with ~20 minutes this week and did pretty fine.
Honestly. Let the man leave the NBA and go to Europe or something. Hell probably develop and due to his size and skill he’ll get another shot at the NBA.
He will thrive in other pro leagues, especially overseas. He's just not the NBA type.
not at all, in europe you have to play team basketball and this dude only plays iso

@@moonskeetz and were exactly is an iso player supposed to thrive? China?
@kareja316 yes or Puerto Rico and Philippines where it's more of a spectacle.
“Guard like mobility” lol
He doesn't have the look of an nba player and he probably doesn't allow himself to be abused by the nba. I can't believe he is this bad and EVERYONE at the same time has so much negative to say about him. Seems manufactured
Some men know more about NBA than they know about theyre wives ridiculous
How can anyone expect a guy to compete and stay healthy with zero muscle mass or fat? Bol needs to hit the gym and borrow about 50 pounds from Zion. The human body doesn’t function properly without fuel.
Welp. This didnt age well. 😂
I think he just happy to be in the nba. Everybody in the NBA don’t love the game.
Bol just simply isnt good enough for the league, awful defender, 0 IQ, dude just dribbles and shoots
pretty generous to suggest Manute revolutionized anything. He was an average player at his best.
The only problem that bol bol has is that he’s playing out of position. Bol has all the skills of a wing but not the build. IMO bol bol is hurt by tradition more than anything else. He’s forced to play big because he is tall but he doesn’t possess any big man skills but shot blocking. Then everyone thinks his work ethic is garbage because he doesn’t play like a big.
It’s only so much you can change in a player especially when he’s out of place and could have been better if coaches would have built on the talent he already had.
bruh he'd get absolutely cooked defending nba wings... he gets cooked down low. you can't put him on the floor its like defending 4v5... this aint high school no more we already saw his defensive awareness be shit begin at Oregon and nba teams know that
@@3101max understand it’s not about his defense. But I will say he will have more time to work on his length. But I’m not as worried about his defense so much. His offense could out weigh his D and you can hide him. Like Luka or Trey you hide him on defense. Plus defense is not really a big deal in todays nba
Bol Bol is Bad Bad. 😂
he came in the NBA too early same as 90% of the players doing the 1 season and going into the draft. if Bol Bol stayed at " O" for 2 more seasons he would imo be more efficient and able to dominate in the NBA . it sucks that a lot of amazing talent just don't want to develop in college . Zion cold of used that more discipline that is a fact because he don't have any with his eating and workouts etc. etc. he both BOL and Zion would be coming into the NBA a hell of a lot stronger , more Basket ball IQ , able to work in a team enjoinment . more humble . because you aint the #1 when you are a rookie in the NBA .
Probably why everyone thinks that Zach Edey is going to be an NBA bust too. I think he'll surprise people...
Bol hurt his ankle but he was looking good coming in off the bench
I really think he was a victim of circumstance. If he had been on a bad team that didn’t care too much about winning, but with a good culture. Like if he had been drafted by OKC
When did Tim Hardaway Sr say that? When Wemby was 15? Or this year?
Last year i think 😂 his a crazy fool
He had an amazing stretch for Orlando last year, then got his minutes taken away. Just needs to play.
He's definitely close to the player we thought he would be. He's so close and that's what's so frustrating.
How’s he close ? He’s a fringe rotational player when people
Thought he would be a star. That’s about as far as you can be in nba terms
Put that man on a Team that will give him the same opportunity as wimby!! and he needs playing time and someone to work with him and help develop him.. He has not got a far shake
Comparing Bol Bol to a pretty girl is wild
I am a diehard nuggets fan that follows them day to day. Bol Bol does not care about basketball. He loves being an NBA player, and the money and fame that come with it, but couldnt be bothered to learn the nuances of the game. He didnt get better in his 3 years in Denver, and his attitude got worse. By the time he finally was gone it was addition by subtraction. Nobody said anything about him being a bad guy, but there is no room for a guy that cares so little.
Dude is nice, they won’t let him get a chance to hoop, he better is victor, victor 1 bad step away from a career disaster…!!!!!
This comment is idiotic for a number of reasons
You hours away from dying soon
people hyping up players before they prove themselves are morons with bad takes. nobody should be hyped up based on anything they did in college. nothing anyone does in college is impressive once graduated
Look at Gianni's the only deference is that Gianni's was given the opportunity and trust to show his potential
He jst never had to play like his life depended on it, because for him, it doesn't. He's one of those guys who only plays because he's super tall, like Mo Bamba, or because his pop did. No fire, no discipline, he doesn't really give a crap. Tony Allen calls those guys 'tall for no reason'.
As a Nuggets fan, I think he is going to have a lot of regrets because pretty soon teams will give up on him because he isn’t using his potential.
Might have to completely reset his style in G league trying to become a defensive Big. Or just go and get the bag in China.
Serviceable nba player. Pretty decent. Not everyone is Hakeem
Great way to jack Nonstop Sports as a marketing strategy.
americans are too complexed with this Next lebron next this and that, everything has to be to the MAx. he made it to the Nba, he's getting paid handsomely, taking care of his family, nothing else matters
Some people just don’t get a chance
I hate players like Bol Bol someone who represents an entire country, Sudan and doesn’t work hard enough its obvious he doesn’t like basketball nor does he have the drive, he should honestly go work a 9 to 5 and let someone who deserves a spot his spot.
Not being a dick..but he's in the NBA..is a millionaire..and is doing better than either one of us
I think he has a great opportunity if Phoenix to work off KD. He already has the shooting ability!
He has pretty good Bol handling skills.
lmao shut up
