I don't get how the media still putting this label that we can clearly see isn't there, the Orlando Magic Stent showed us everything, he was solid and the fact that some people think he's obligated to 30mins without proving he's consist is just straight delusion

[@TheHuskyK9]

People fell for the media hype. Guys like Shaq hyped him up to be better than Wemby and casuals ate it up. Anyone with an ounce of basketball IQ and doesn’t look at just highlights can see that he has glaring issues in his game that hurts him in the pros. Despite his height, he’s a tree on defense, no post game, inconsistent, can’t pass, and his work ethic is lacking. The fact that people (even some NBA players) were saying him and Wemby are on the same level is laughable. Their body frames are similar but Wemby’s skills are levels above Bol’s and it’s not even close. Ironically, he’s playing like a 44th overall draft pick.

The Denver Nuggets honestly ruined his career. He said it in the video. "Didn't have time to develop him." He should've been playing with Jokic in the starting line up from the start. Give him all the PT in the world. See what he's capable. Wasting the while beginning of his career gives him no confidence. The Magic showed you how valuable he actually is.

[@Doatello1991]

@sheezy3962 He’s had years to take the initiative to prove himself. The Magic showed you how “valuable” he was by not keeping him. He doesn’t play defense. He doesn’t give that production he was hyping against the Spurs every night. He has no one to blame but himself.

Calling a second rounder a “bust” is wild…Ignore Shaq hyping him up and use critical thinking skills. All these “analysts” are pure entertainment and don’t look actually watch games.

[@ChinoHills-qt4xc]

A bus is someone who doesn’t live up to their potential. Bol Bol had a lot of potential he hasn’t lived up to it and he was drafted so therefore he’s a bust. Also, he had more hype than any other second round pick ever had imo

[@tremplearsen9938]

Being picked at the second round means there is little to no expectation for a potential. Maybe in your own view he had but from an objective point of view, he definitely had very little. So in the eyes of most NBA scouts, coaches and GMs, he didn’t. Just because you are drafted doesn’t automatically mean everyone has a high expectation of you. And hype has nothing to do with being a bust. A bust entirely falls on the draft position. And in his case being a second rounder which means…. Little to no expectation. That’s what most of us see in him. He ain’t superstar material so he shouldn’t be seen as such. The fact that he was drafted in the second round proves that point in the first place

Suns Coach Frank Vogel doesn't utilize BOL BOL 's minutes properly. Bol Bol is a Unicorn Unique Basketball Player. There's that many of Hybrid position of Point Center. He's projected to be a Center because of his height. You also mentioned it in this video. "That Bol Bol has the Defensive Blocks like his father and the Handles like Kyrie." I actually believe that Bol Bol is more of a Point Forward because of his size and weight. I gladly disagree with you on Bol Bol being a Bust. Frank Vogel finally started to have some sense and started to utilize Bol Bol more as Durant's Back up. Yes Defensively he needs to adjust to rotations and defensive positions needs improving. Add some muscle and he can be more impactful than Giannis. Chet n Wemby can't dribble like Bol Bol. Bol Bol is in a league of his own. It takes the right organization, coaches and GMs to see that. I will go there too. Bol Bol is dark skinned and now has dreadlocks. I believe there is some gate keeping going on there too. Bol Bol has been training with Kevin Durant and there's been improvements. Once he gets Defense improvements? Bol Bol will be unstoppable. Where the league is going. A team will need a Bol Bol to combat against a Wemby, Chet , and more taller hoopers in the future ‼️

@@aranliu5497 you just repeated what I said how Bol Bol is on Defense. Y'all focus on Defense only because everyone is frozen to fact he is 7"3" Oh he's only a Center".

The Great Manute Bol passed on from a Tragic Accident . May Manute Bol RIP 🕊️. I'm Rooting for his son No matter What. Y'all can trash him all you want. It's Position Less Basketball. Bol Bol is a "Point Center" Your Take is Trash. Okafor had a few bad knee injuries, not a Point Forward, can't dribble or Shoot the 3 like Bol Bol‼️ I know there's a Narrative that he's Dark Skinned black man and they would Gate Keep him from being the Face of the League too. Promote Wemby ,Jokic ,Chet, & Sangun. Limit the Dark Skinned Monster so he can't develop into what he has potential to be. Put on some muscle, get his defensive positions and defensive footwork. He'll be Unstoppable‼️ That's all he needs. Y'all can't knock him on Offense.

This wont age well😅. Bol Bol will have a breakout season next year. Guaranteed double double with 25+ minutes. Only a moron seeking views would push this Bust narrative now. Even those who were anti Bol Bol are now on the bandwagon of his obvious talent. He was merely born a few shades too dark. And his father had political issues, but his talent has beat the test of time of the politics. Chet and all the other unicorns got the red carpet 1 year automatic playing time pass treatment, except Bol Bol.

[@Stoneygreat]

Yall all full of it at this point. The truth is Bol Bol came in at a time where that Wemby ish wasn't cool for a center to be doing. They looked down on dude for playing like a wing. Fast forward Wemby same style and they market it. Because the league desperate at this point. They still not sold on that playstyle for a center fully. Chet another guy they're trying to cover up talent. He also doing Wemby and Bol type things. But the league not going to promote this to heavy. It will cause a shift in the game, that could ultimately ruin it for good. Imagine majority of centers playing like Wemby. Dont think it aint possible. Even Anthony Davis was a guard growing up. They forced him into being a PF/C. He even talked about his upbringing. Bust is just the narrative so it can only be one Wemby. But the truth still remains Bol Bol was doing that playstyle already. And it just wasn't accepted...
