What about his lateral quickness?
Bol Bol
School: Oregon
Position: PF/C
Age: 19
Height: 7-foot-2
Weight: 225
Wingspan: 7-foot-8
Draft Range: 10 to 25
Why: Manute's son is tall, long and skilled. He's an impressively fluid athlete who has Day 1 NBA three-point range. He can also dribble really well for a player his size and shoots well off the bounce. He's agile in the paint with good hands and quality finishing ability. Defensively, his length gives him an extremely high ceiling as a shot blocker. In his nine games at Oregon, averaged 21 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocks while hitting 13-of-25 three-point attempts.
Why Not: Broken foot prematurely ended season at Oregon. Extremely skinny and probably can't add much weight to frame; strength unlikely to ever be a plus. Effort level comes and goes. While he can move his feet, his reaction time is slow compared to NBA athletes. Doesn't have a history of competing consistently on the defensive end. Has an uphill battle to become even a satisfactory perimeter defender.
Spurs Fit: He'd be a stretch four next to Aldridge or Poeltl. Would need a year of seasoning but could take over Bertans' role in the 2020-2021 season.

You starting in the Pacific NW and moving your way around the world, timvp?
Good stuff
You lost me at Super sized Austin Daye. Lol
He’s definitely who I would want with the 19th pick but I have a feeling he’s not going to be there for us to chose anyways.
A top three talent as a 19 pick? One can dream
Can you come take care of our issue in the political forum real quick? Thanks in advance.
Not a true SF - don't want.
I would like either him, Jaxson Hayes, or Daniel Gafford at 19.
Bol Bol is likely going 4-12, Hachimura 12-18
Would like to see Spurs trading up for Hachimura
Who is Austin Daye?
We don’t need more bigs
A 7’2” stretch four. Only in America folks. Interesting prospect but I bet he goes much sooner than 19
If he drops, I say get him. His length would be fun to pair with Poeltl. Poor man’s Twin Towers pairing. Underrated top 5 rim protection
It's all about how PATFO believes they can work with him. Certainly there should be a forward prospect at 29. I don't mind Roby or Lawson there at all. So using 19 on the highest-ceiling guy is justifiable. I just worry that even if he stabilizes, he won't be more than a meh NBA player. That's not bad for a 19th pick, but it's not what you hope to get going in. Honestly, dude would have been hot in the 2012-2015 NBA where bigs who could shoot were good enough to make a high impact. Today's NBA really demands more perimeter skills out of their stretch-bigs. Being able to nail open shots is fine, but if you can't threaten the D as a slashers and ball-handler, then it doesn't make up for the lack of inside presence you're getting with a center who stays out on the perimeter.
Boom or bust, Could be the next Pau Gasol but also the next Andrea Bargnani...
I think he'll be injury prone as well as uncomfortable with contact. His frame just looks suspect
We have only two and one will be a 35 year old FA after next season, why not? If Bitizde is available then the Spurs should probably take him.
Dude has elite skills compared to Bargnani and Daye. Have yall seen him play? He literally plays like KD. If hes there at 19 its a no brainer. Dude has potential to be a generational talent. Not saying he couldnt bust too, but you have to take the chance if hes there.
Somebody will draft him sooner if his medical stuff checks out. I'm afraid of drafting this kid due to already having feet issues and his overall body build.
The few games he played at the university of Oregon he was great but I wish we could've seen him play a couple more games or at least a game or so against another NBA or high caliber NCAA big guy to really get a better read on him
He is an interesting prospect though
You mean NBA champion Austin Daye?
Dude is some guy who had an interesting physical profile and could shoot from range. Like a Channing Frye type. He couldn’t ever put it together for the spurs (or NBA). He’s apparently having a great second career in Italy though.
