Im all in on Bol Bol. He is going to be one of those guys everyone was wrong about.
The fact that Bol Bol weighs as much as I do (I am 6'0'') slightly worries me!
Kareem Abdul Jabbar played his entire career at 7'2" 225-230 pounds. If Bol can add another 20 pounds of muscle and retain it during the season, he will be fine. I am more worried about long term wear and tear on his knees and ankles and his motor than I am his weight and being moved around. His length and height will still be able to overcome his lack of weight but does he have the motor to make it in the NBA. He would be a solid pick with any of the Celtics picks. His upside is outrageous if he develops and brings it nightly. Sadly, a huge bust potential as well.
In a perceived weak draft, this is what we should be going for.
My hope if we are selecting players with all three of our first round picks would be to take Kevin Porter, Jr., Bol Bol, and Darius Bazley.
All three could easily flame out and be gone in the NBA by year 3 of their rookie deal, or they could all turn into terrific players, because of their natural gifts, whether it's physical tools or absolute talent.
This is the time to swing for the home run. We get three shots at it, one of them turns into a near all-star, and we got ourselves a pretty good draft.
