I love the gang from TNT as they are one of the most entertaining teams on tv period, but none of them knows much about the modern game. It isn't completely their own fault, just like Magic Johnson they have so many other enterprises keeping them busy, but if Shaq did his proper research about Bol Bol he'd see why he fell so far in a weak draft...the guy has no heart, motor or considerable work ethic...I honestly believe similar to Darko he plays basketball because he's 7'0 + and is a great athlete, not because he loves it.

I doubt he will haunt teams given his health and work ethic which is questionable.

Shaq probably studied in Magic's school of GM'ing.

His dad Manute was also a twig.  Based on genetics, it may be difficult for him to gain a lot of weight, maybe just the 25 lbs he lost recently.

With the league shifting its focus to the perimeter, you wonder where Shaq would have been drafted out of school today.

Those big guys could be bargains if their game can be worked into a team's system. There has to be a dividend in dominating inside.

I think part of it, too, was concern about his foot injury.

Shaq just guaranteed himself he’ll never get a GM job.

And I’lol add to the no work ethic, injury concerns negatives for nil bol.... basketball IQ of a guppy.

Didnt Danny have like 4 first round picks or was that three and an early 2nd round? He should have spent that second on Bol...Who drafted Bol and at what number?

the heat drafted Bol at 41 or 44 I think. And they traded him to the nuggets for a future 2nd rounder and cash. But I read the heat never had the pick, it was a purchased pick that was already traded beforehand to get their first rounder (kz okpala)

I'm wondering if they knew Bol would be available where they were picking, if the heat would still have made that trade

If they wanted Bol they could have had him, it is not difficult or expensive to acquire mid second round picks. They could have easily grabbed a pick in the low 40s at drafted him.
