I see him more of a stretch 4. His game reminds me of Olynyk. 7 footer with a good handles and shooting. Of course he have higher defensive ceiling than KO due to his long arms. I think it would be a mistake if teams play him as a C despite his size.

I am all aboard the Bol Bol at 14 if he is still there train. I guess it is possible Danny packages 14 and 20 or 22 for a higher pick but how high could you go and for who? I don't see a lot of difference in the quality of the prospect from 4 down to 16 or 18. Maybe keeping 14 and trade 20 and 22 to jump into the top 16 makes sense. If that group from 4 to 16 is all even talent getting 2 picks in that 4 to 16 grouping might be very smart to maximize the talent drafted.

it'll be very interesting to see where he lands. Can't see danny passing him. Embiid had similar red flags in the draft  and look where he is bow

Hopefully, if Ainge drafts him Bol Bol pans out to be another Giannis, and not another Jared Sullinger.

I'd be all for drafting Bol Bol at #14 if he's still available. He kind of reminds me of a young KG because of his height, lanky stature and shooting ability.

Hey, why not also draft Tacko Fall in the second round. Having Fall guard Embiid would be the latter's worst nightmare haha.

I'd say 4-7 are going to be Hunter, Garland, Culver, and Reddish. Don't know order though. So 8 or later could be where Bol goes. That is within reason to move up to.

Take Tacko Fall?  Why waste a pick on a guy who can't move?

High Risk, High Reward.    Giannis had athletic ability, Sully did not, he was slow and could not jump.   The jury is out on Bol Bol but I have not been wowed by what athletic ability I have seen thus far.

Bol bol lacks the speed to guard pfs.

And there are alot of current nba pfs that coupd bully him all over the court. Bol bol weighs less that most sgs who are 6 or 7 inches shorter than him.

If he had the footspeed I would make him a sf. He does have the range. Can get his shot off over anyone. And he could close out on ahooters better than anyone due to his length. But foot speed is slower than Baynes

I agree and he seems fragile.
