Underrated part of this vid is Gil's 14:10 spit/speech. He's self-aware. He has an idea his skillset should net him a higher draft pick, but he wasn't able to because of his attitude. But his borderline-Kobe approach to his game prep ultimately got him the Most Improved Player award. It's not just "opportunity", he pushed himself hard to get to that point. And the rest is history (Gilbert Arenas rule has other teams outbidding the team who drafted him without a fight). Opportunity without results will lead to what Gil said, "trash". Double-single on 33 starts in his senior season ain't gonna cut it with a supposed skillset that Bol Bol has. He had his chance.

Bol Bol started half the season last year and played 21 minutes a game. I don’t know how much more of an opportunity people want him to get. You don’t get 30 minutes based on potential, you get it by producing at a lower role first. Someone like Goga Bitadze is a prime example of climbing the ranks by producing results on the court. He’s been such a good started while Wendell’s been hurt, spacing the floor and being such a defensive presence that opposing teams are scared to score in the paint. And the magic has been cooking since he got into the starting lineup. Bol Bol hasn’t shown that level of value despite having opportunities.

[@thergoezthatman7004]

Agree 100%. Mccantz was wildin in this episode. He obviously was feeling defensive.

[@SonnyK248]

Bol Bol was a top five highschool recruit and killed it for the short time he was in college. His effort has always been criticised. He had nine months to prepare for the draft. He was expected to gain about ten pounds but he actually lost ten pounds. Come draft time he’s taken in the middle of the second round and then traded on draft night. Then he doesn’t play in Denver, gets traded to Boston for nothing, then gets traded to Orlando again for nothing, signs a minimum deal for two years, does play the first year, but then gets waived because they didn’t think he was worth 2 million for the second year. This is clearly a him problem 😂 he’s capable of the spectacular, but knowing he can do those things makes him a horrible decision maker and he doesn’t give a lick of effort on defence. So he’s a liability on both sides. He should have spent the last four years in the NBA using his natural talent to learn how to play NBA basketball. Now it’s probably too late.

Ayton actually contributed to winning the whole way there, where as Bol Bol…

[@iudexCervello]

​@@SekeU85its difficult to gauge bol bol. Bol bol had questions about motor, sure, but the reason he slid is cause he had an injury and teams were considered about a 7'3 guard that's played only 9 games at the collegiate level, WITH AN INJURY HISTORY He goes to denver, and he only plays 43 games combined in 3 years, he gets his first real chance in orlando. Orlando didn't let him go because he wasn't productive, they just felt with wendell carter, paolo, and Jonathan isaac, they had enough bigs to develop. Same reason they let go of mo bamba, despite him having his best statistical season the year before They believe isaac can be an all defense calibre player, they believe paolo can be all nba, they believe wendell is fringe all star, they don't know what mo or bol will develop into and they have too many players to develop at the same time

Mccants gotta go, he don't be making no sense

[@Him.different22]

He didn’t get picked cause he’s 7’2” & had a foot injury. It scared teams away.

[@NubSaiboty]

They had him in the lottery section with all the players who got picked high, that was fucked up to see

[@RBiko-wf3eu]

yea I was gonna say, he never turned down workouts but he did have a pro day for multiple teams when his foot healed. I think his size the injury scared more teams I mean we saw Cam Whitmore drop this year, its not weird for teams to overthink and players to fall into other situations. If Bol went to a lottery team his first year, they would have planned around his skills as a main piece, I think thats his problem now.

[@doggyd619]

MPJ still got picked in the lottery even with a serious back injury.. and by the same team that gave bol bol a chance.

[@Imichaelperry]

Simple fact of Bol Bol is he got drafted by Denver they originally felt like they could play him and Joker together realized they couldn't in that time Bol got hurt in Orlando they're trying to go in another direction at Big they kinda want Johnathan Issac because hes more physical down low ....team makeups and styles can make a player

[@WizadPowuhs16]

He also has a bad attitude and it’s clear when you watch him

[@isaackintz8368]

I don't know how many of you casuals I'm going to have to tell but just cuz of dude has a unique skill set for his size does not mean it's good for basketball a highlight here and there and then three other minutes of shity basketball does not warrant being a starter or having a roster spot at a certain point

[@Imichaelperry]

@@isaackintz8368 there are many players of every era who were ahead of their time and suffer based on the team they play for bol is one to name another Mahmoud Abdul Rauf but there are many more Sam Perkins was a stretch b4 they were valued the list goes on if you knew ball like you're saying then you know sometimes a players trajectory depends on coach and the system..Tracy McGrady for instance had a coach who would not play him if the coach had stayed instead of being fired would we know him to be the player he became

Name one player 6'10 and above that handles the ball who had prolonged success besides Kevin Durant

[@thefatedking]

Bol Bol is a huge point forward. He doesn’t play like the typical big man. He needs to be properly coached and mentored. He will be good.

[@Theguyyouknow34545]

He’s not a point forward him being utilized wrong is part of the problem, just cause he has a handle doesn’t mean he a point forward , he a stretch big

[@dylanbach8578]

He averages more turnovers than assists. He can not be a point forward - most guys in that mold sport early signs of potential floor general abilities like a good Assist-Turnover ratio and a above average handle. Think guys like Draymond, Kyle Anderson, Franz Wagner, Josh Giddey. Even Pokusevski has some potential there. Watching Bol Bol is like watching a newborn deer trying to run. Just straight up reckless with his handle + selfish in a team concept.

[@thefatedking]

His play style is point forward. It doesn’t mean he should play that way. This is why I said he needs to be coached and mentored. He doesn’t play effectively in any area to be truly valuable to the team. He plays out of position and does too much with the ball. What he has is potential. He needs to be guided into the right direction and fit a system.

I believe in Bol Bol’s talent

[@kudabeen]

Absolutely...but if talent was it JR Smith would be a hall of famer...probably one of the most incredible all around talents to ever play and just never put it together and zeroed in on how to be that guy...Bol body is bad and he has to do extra to be able to endure the demand on it to show off his talent at a high level...Coaches seem to not see that work to trust him...sometimes body language is held against you or aesthetics which isn't fair, but is reality

[@basketballgodz7027]

Me too but seems to me, something going on behind the scenes cause he’s really good

[@jetshark970shark4]

​@kudabeen HE had a career that was over a decade. Just because you aren't a Allstar and Hall of Famer, doesn't mean they aren't great

[@howdareyouexist]

lol good luck with that, his so called talent has him on his 4 team making the minimum

[@taquaywhite4503]

Bol bol can have all the talent, it’s clearly shit to do with off the court that keeps him from being put on the court. And he honestly just isn’t as talented as everyone thinks he is, if he was that talented I guarantee a coach is going to put a 7’3 player with guard skills on the court

[@SkinnyJT_YT]

I think Mccants is being more logical where as Gil is being analytical. Both is necessary and fair. If someone does something repeatedly, you almost have to expect a specific outcome. I agree with all points of views, Bol Bo may have played up to his highest potential!

[@quentinduhart1791]

I have always believed sonce he got drafted he needs someone to believe in what he can be and also get the time on the court cuz there is plenty top 10 pick players that go through bumps and bruises before they get a hang of the game. I still feel like denver could of picked him back up but they didn't.

[@JayyyySko]

Rashad debating his potential while Gil is debating on going off of what we’ve seen up to this point it seems like when McCants argument was getting deadlined he would over talk then make it personal i agree tho bol bol not trash i just think he hasn’t caught his footing with an organization mixed with the fact there’s now so many different 7fters or almost 7fters with his ability to the point his game not a rarity (from a coaches standpoint) unless he’s putting up those eye catching numbers but it doesn’t take away from the fact he has the ability to tap into that talent and show a team he’s a valuable asset so i see why it got how it did but i still think Gil’s point was more in sync no glaze

[@teddygraham5230]

Bobo was drafted in the second round because teams thought that he was a injury risk because he just came off of a foot injury, per Portland. Most teams did not want to do with that high risk. It was never about talent will work ethic. it was purely the fact that he came off of foot injury which generally sidelined guys his size and height.

[@Sparrow23-d3g]

Kyrie went #1 off a injury in college

[@pradayou5405]

Yeah but sliding all the way to the 2nd round makes me believe that it was more than just injury concerns and there is actual articles about his work ethic being a reason why he dropped to the 2nd round. MPJ had serious back concerns yet he only fell to the a mid 1st round selection, Cam Whitmore had injury concerns but he was still able to be a 1st round pick, Kyrie only played 11 games in college yet he was the 1st pick, James Wiseman had missed a whole year and he had lingering health issues yet he was still able to go top 3.

[@slimm215]

Literally just not true. MPJ the year before bol bol draft went lottery WHILE having a back surgery prior ….. Embiid had a foot surgery and teams KNEW he wouldn’t play and he still got drafted top 3 …… he didn’t get drafted bc obviously multiple ppl saw more than just an injury being the issue
