Man, there are some freakish physical specimens this draft. Bol Bol & Zion are both insanely unique.

The combo of shot-blocking, switching ability on defence, inside finishing and perimeter shooting is awesome

Remember when people said this was a weak draft? I'm starting to think its wayyy deeper than 2018


Clippers, kings,.And grizz:  lose lose lose

Clippers actually need to keep winning a good amount (it's lottery protected).

I wonder if his standing reach is even higher than the listed 9'6". 

Flipping Sacramento is trying to ruin our fun.  They can't possibly keep winning.   >:(

Agree. Why can't the kings be terrible

Anyone watching bol bol playing right now on espn2? I just saw the freak of nature block a shot, get the blocked shot and take it in transition and shoot a midrange and swish it.  Nice runner. Fluid shot. The game comes to him.

Defense. Offense and size. What more can you ask for

I know this has been said nearly annually, but this has the potential to rival the 2003 draft. Zion is every bit the athlete LeBron was at that age, and we could easily see a Melo/Wade/Bosh come after him.


As for losing, we only want the Kings to lose lose lose. Grizz we want to stay playoff competitive for the first half and then start to nosedive out of it after the deadline. We need Clips to keep winning because if they don’t, we don’t get a 1st.

Wouldn’t it be something if we got picks 5, 10, 15 and 30? I’ll take it.

This may sound weird, but I was a big Manute Bol fan. His son looks a lot like him but is much more athletic, and looks like quite a player. Sign me up.

That game where Manute knocked down 6 triples is classic. That’s basically Bol’s game, just shorter

It's such a shame Manute couldn't see his son doing so well.

Bol Bol sounds like a future Celtic to me. I'm IN on James Hill too, get this guy on NBC Sports Boston immediately.

That would not be that hard to do that.

Watch his video, I would pass on him

Stamina issues and a bad motor is what I see , oh and a really tall guy.  I am not impressed if he was 6 foot tall he would not be on the court with that skillset.

This is kinda the history of many big men in the NBA, though, right? I mean, Shaq wouldn't have even played at a D1 college, much less the NBA, if he hadn't had the size he had, since he had almost zero basketball skill (at least on offense). Ditto for Dwight Howard and probably quite a few others through the years. I feel like basketball has always been known as a "tall man's sport," because taller people usually have the advantage on a basketball court. Bol seems to run pretty well for an exceedingly tall man. And maybe he doesn't have much of a skill set—I haven't watched him enough to know—but he seems worth a look at least.

I agree. And Manute was a great humanitarian; the world lost a good person when he died.

Another good game by Bol Bol today.  26 points on 11-17 shooting, 1-1 from 3, 3-3 from the line, 9 rebs, 2 steals, and 2 blocks while beating Syracuse easily.

Strikes me as poor man's Thon Maker.

You know, the guy who is sitting on Milwaukee Bucks' bench.

Not intrigued.  Will keep an open mind, though. I've been wrong before.
