If hes disinterested and can put up those kinds of numbers, ill take him
Feet issues at that size is scary, but aside from that he struck my a slow and disiniterested. Like he’s marching to his own drum, and not in a good way.

Huge fan of manute on and off the court. I like the potential of bol bol. However, like with Oden, I worry about foot and leg injuries. If healthy, he should be a solid contributor for several years......18-20 ppg, 8-11 rbpg, and 3-4 bpg. But, that is a big if on the staying healthy part.
Best case is Dirk Nowizki (with better defence due to shot blocking length), not Pau. Worst case is out of the league without giving you anything meaningful... The only way he falls to us is if his medicals scare off other teams - which might scare us off too. As fans, we're obviously not going to get to see his medicals (nor are qualified to evaluate them), so we have to trust PATFO to get it right, if they have the opportunity.
PS, if you are looking for another Pau, take a look at Goga. Compare their euroleague seasons and you'll see what I mean.

Big guys and foot problems rarely end well.
Should having two firsts this year make it logical to take a chance on him?
Damn Goga is only 19???
and he looks pretty good, one really interesting target for the spurs.
For BolBol it's all about health, despite the fact tht he could have some problems on defense he is a really talented player. you can't pass on him but he will go higher for sure.
I'm not sold on Bol Bol. Athleticism isn't there, but more than that is interest/effort. By all reports, its a big issue for him. That scares me most of all. No matter who drafts him, doubt he plays next year.
Goga at 19 years old is basically Milutinov with a jump shot and better defense. That's scary good. He could indeed turn into a Pau/Marc Gasol level player. His only weakness is shooting 31% from 3
I think so, that's why i doubt all teams before us will pass on him but i hope...Goga at 19 years old is basically Milutinov with a jump shot and better defense. That's scary good. He could indeed turn into a Pau/Marc Gasol level player. His only weakness is shooting 31% from 3
Yeah, to my mind, Goga is pretty much the best C prospect in the class. People overrate athleticism vs skills though, and teams are low on C's right now (the worm will turn though). As a white Euro, there a chance he falls to us...
Didn’t we waive Austin Daye? Then why would we draft a player like him?
I'd def take him with 19
so he lost you at the very end? doesnt seem like an issue
i'd take andrea bargnani with shotblocking upside at #19
i cant imagine bol would be on the board at 19 though
Him being from Georgia, you never know if he's 19 or maybe 29, tbh
true but the same can be said about Bol BolHim being from Georgia, you never know if he's 19 or maybe 29, tbh
Two issues with Bol first was people questioned his desire and work ethic to play professional ball and now second issue broken foot I’ll pass and rather take Goga or Fernando.
George Gervin???
Exactly what I was thinking. There are probably a max of two players per draft with that kind of legit ceiling, and Bol isn't on that level.
It was difficult to come up with an apt comparison for Bol using just Spurs players. Porzingis is the obvious comparison league-wide as far as if Bol reaches 90% of his potential.
I think Bol offers an extremely wide variance between his ceiling and floor -- probably wider than anyone in this draft. He just hasn't played enough to get a true sense of what he can do. And even when he's played, he's never been in a situation where he's been pushed.
If Bol hits 100% of his ceiling, he's a 7-foot-2 perimeter scorer with an unblockable release point. I still don't think that's quite Gervin or Durant level but it'd be pretty damn close. That said, it's really unlikely that Bol hits his ceiling, IMO. Most draft prospects don't hit their ceiling ... and it's even rarer for prospects who have a history of being undermotivated.
^ That's a pretty high body fat percentage for someone who looks so skinny. He must have no muscle at all.
