Add Victor to this young roster and the Magic gon be giving the rest of the league hell in a few seasons.

To be honest, who in their right mind can see how to use him right? I would think he is a slim big, not a tall guard he is right now, I wouldn't trust a slenderman body type to dribble and fast break, but Bol Bol is so good at all that, in a way he is similar to Boris Diaw, who came in NBA as a point guard, but made his mark as a power forward and occasional centre.

As a Heat fan, I’ve honestly been getting worried about what they’re building in Orlando. If they can hire a coach that can put it all together you’re talking a team oozing with potential

[@jblack530]

Denver drafting Bol Bol was the most head scratcher thing to do

[@vlada]

Not really. Nugs always take risks like MPJ or even a project like Watson or 41st pick like jokic. Bol was a risk and a project because of the 4 high schools and college he went too, not one vouched for his character and work habits but the skills were there. So that's exactly who you pick at 45. The guy they drafted at that spot this year, Kamagate, is the same. He is physically and defensively ready (plays Wemby really well) but was a late bloomer and needs to bring up his offense. Drafting in the 40s is very hit and miss but sometimes it pays off with an MVP.

[@smallworldz7241]

If you watched him play in Oregon before he got injured you knew the hype was real tho just from his Skill set and play style

[@newera_tb7294]

Bingo

[@coopermckillop8981]

As a Magic fan, it hurt to hear the blunders of the prior front office thrown out in the open. I’ve been convinced that the Serge Ibaka trade was the worst trade in recent history (maybe behind James Harden to the Rockets). I still remember when it was announced on draft night. I just hope that this new front office continues in its current direction and learns from the mistakes of the past executives.

[@edraelsolas838]

So the Raptors and Magic are both building the "All Frontcourt line-up" huh? I need to see them in a 7 game series when they are finaly complete.

[@soletraveler]
