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.

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.

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.

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.

Level out your audio levels dude my entire house shook at 0:50. Otherwise, good vid. Subbed.

thanks for the support!

Imagine Bol Bol with a member mentality. He would be a hall of famer

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

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

This didn’t age well 😂

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.

When did Tim Hardaway Sr say that? When Wemby was 15? Or this year?

Last year i think 😂 his a crazy fool

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

Dudes on 2m a year to play ball. I think that he sleeps just fine.

Bro needs a coach! To get behind him but I think he also needs to be put in the spot where he can get some solid time

Just a few picks later... bruh was 43 picks later

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

Bol hurt his ankle but he was looking good coming in off the bench

I watched his dad hit a few three pointers while with the warriors back in the day..

Lol watch Charles Barkley reaction when Bol Sr hits the tray hilarious

So if someone can help fix his attitude then this guy could be a good gamble

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.

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.

He had an amazing stretch for Orlando last year, then got his minutes taken away. Just needs to play.

Great way to jack Nonstop Sports as a marketing strategy.

Bol has been getting more minutes this past week, and he had 14 pts. He has played well .

The Bolbol was shaved already.😅

Look at Gianni's the only deference is that Gianni's was given the opportunity and trust to show his potential

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

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

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....

what if we could average Bol & Zion's bulk between them?

Bol Bol is Bad Bad. 😂

Welp. This didnt age well. 😂

Serviceable nba player. Pretty decent. Not everyone is Hakeem

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.

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

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.

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.

Anyone with haliburton gonna improve even if it’s just slightly

I think he just happy to be in the nba. Everybody in the NBA don’t love the game.

I think he has a great opportunity if Phoenix to work off KD. He already has the shooting ability!

pretty generous to suggest Manute revolutionized anything. He was an average player at his best.

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

Comparing Bol Bol to a pretty girl is wild

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 .

What were Bol Bol´s parents thinking, when they named their son?

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

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.

Probably why everyone thinks that Zach Edey is going to be an NBA bust too. I think he'll surprise people...

Lebron has changed the game in such a bad way not even his son will be un drafted but will be a bust

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.

"just a couple spots after zion" lol 43 picks later

Tbh rookie Wemby might be Bol's ceiling

There's a big difference between college and the pros.

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

The Heat should scoop him up.

Man, I hate this but it's true... I see aaaaaall the skills and potential but whenever he's in the game with whatever team he's playing for... they almost always lose the lead.
