He's only 15 and he's already 6'11"

I'm not even sure if the math works here, but i'm just going to go ahead and say that this is who we're taking with the Memphis pick.

Love the name. People are gonna go hard on him for his weight, but obviously genetics are there.

looks like a solid prospect. Interesting note is that the length of his legs don't match with the proportion of his body.

Bol Bol

Got to love it!

Now if we can get him so sing the children's song :o


Bol-bol  ski watten tatten,
Ah-ah-ah, boom boom boom
Itty bitty wotten totten
Bol bol ski watten tatten
Bol bol ski watten tatten
Boom!

And yes he is a legit prospect!  I hope he does well.  Manute had a great deal of hardship in his life.
Can't help but cheer for his son!

He needs to get the release point on that shot above his head.

I know he's just 15 and would put on some pounds later but, man...

Am I the only one weirded out about how thin those legs are?

My guess is he'll always be pretty skinny. He looks like he's got most of his Dad's genes. Manute's legs were similarly weird to look at. Both seem to have smallish torsos in relation to their overall height, and absolute stick legs.

I see a future Celtic.

I recall watching Manute Bol live, and he was drilling half court shots with his back to the basket during warm-ups. I was just a kid, was fun to see.

I would have thought that growing up in the States with an American diet would have helped fill him out, but he is still very young. I see on wiki that Manute's other son played college ball and graduated in 2013. However, he apparently is not talented enough to have his own wiki page.

He needs to get the release point on that shot above his head.

That stood out to me also at how low the release point was on the shot. But he is so tall it still is hard for someone he is playing against to block his shot and if he grows at a similar rate when he reaches the NBA it would still be difficult for most to block his shot.

Good luck to him and good luck to Celts in drafting him.

I think Rick Barry's free throw release point was higher than Bol's shot release.
