Bol Bol Is Proving All His Haters WRONG..



Bol Bol Is Proving All His Haters WRONG..

I’ll admit it I only saw the vision for a brief time 7’3 with handles and a jumper sounded so appealing at first and Frank vogel’s history with bigs going all the way back to Roy Hibbert’s short sanity run on the Pacers seemed like a no-brainer hand and glove fit but it

Didn’t take many botched preseason minutes for me to start doubting B Bow’s ability to impact a winning team or in Phoenix case a team with at least winning aspirations combine all of that with the Suns letting campaign go so that they could afford bu bow same

Campaign that it seems like on a night in Night Out basis this Phoenix Suns team could really still use as a backup point guard and it’s safe to say that I did become a hater of the move that James Jones made but I am as happy as a

7 fo3 clam to report that it looks as if bullbull has truly broken through and into the sun’s rotation and he’s been earning every minute of action he’s been getting tell me in the comments what you think about Bub’s recent performances in Phoenix and leave a like for me on the

Video if you can so with Kevin Durant resting an injury versus the Portland Trailblazers and Los Angeles Clippers Frank vogle decided even letting media and fans know that he would be giving bull bow some minutes and it really seemed like he was just throwing bow of

Bone giving him his first chance at some substantial minutes all season up until the Blazers game B had only played in Eight Games total and compiled 20 minutes all season he’s averaging 192 minutes in the last two games combined and it really seems like he might have flat out earned those minutes in

Practice because his impact has been undeniable the last two games vers Portland he came super close to a double double scoring 11 points and grabbing nine rebounds in 20 minutes minutes he has been efficient as hell lately also going 4 for six vers Portland and 6 for

Seven versus the very scary clippers for 14 points and five rebounds I’m still going to be critical of his screen setting as it does look like he is terrified his pelvis will be crushed into dust if he makes any substantial contact but surprisingly he looks crazy

Competent once he gets the ball off of the Roll to the rim because of his insane height and length when he gets the ball anywhere near the paint it’s going in because he’s basically like an adult playing versus five Peter dinkes the crazy thing is he’s had some playmaking moments that have really

Intrigued me a couple of times he calmly as if the game isn’t moving too fast for him at all made passes out to open Shooters instead of forcing something at The Rim that ended up being converted threes that’s something I absolutely did not know he had in his back B is

Confidently and beautifully shooting the 3-2 he’s three for his last four overall and is shooting an absurd 60% from three on the entire season which of course he hasn’t taken a high volume but once again intriguing right speaking of things I didn’t know he had in his bag

Was this stupid turnaround midi off of an offensive rebound aside from the statistical part of this evaluation something else is happening and I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not but it was palpable both times bu entered the game for Phoenix versus the Clippers the suns were reeling emotionally dragging

And just lacking and both times B’s impact was like a jolt of energy that completely brought the Suns back into the game even to the degree that during their improbable comeback from down 20 plus bull was kept in the game during all of the crunch time minutes and he

Hit a clutch Corner three that the Suns needed all of this was absolutely and I don’t even have to tell you Unthinkable a week ago because his screens are so ineffective and he gets moved around like a featherweight by bigs I think Frank should start using him as a small

Forward power forward at the biggest but a small forward that just so happens to be 7’3 his three-point shooting fits the mold of a small forward and he’d be a lot better off crashing the boards from the wing and fighting for position that he’s not going to win in the paint also

I really like the thought of him as a help Defender going to block Shots by leaving his man on the perimeter than him trying to get position to stop shots in the paint where like I said he’s getting pushed around like he’s doing the Electric Slide I understand he’s

Going to be at a disadvantage guarding faster players at the three as lateral quickness is the bane of all seven plus Footers existence on defense my hope is that his length will make up for it if he gets blown by tell me what you think about Bub’s roll roll with the Suns and

I’ll see you next time y’all

Don’t look now but Bol Bol has dramatically improved his stock on the Phoenix Suns bench.

  1. Ok Ik we lost but this facts bol had the second most points off the bench and had more points then 3 starters. So maybe Frank’s gonna have bol starting at one point

  2. Honestly, Bol Bol's popularity is based on his father's popularity when he visited. Bol is the underdog as was his father when he shot for 6 or 7 3-pointers. Bol has a long way to go to be fully impact the team. He needs about 60 more pounds to get good. I love the underdog and I love his humility and his play. But let's not say too much about his impact as of yet. Just love to see a good hungry humble player out there for sure.

  3. I definetly wouldve gotten fired as a GM because i wouldve made bol bol a starter and bet my career on him.

  4. As a Spurs fan I was excited when I heard that the Spurs are interested in Bol Bol. I’m all for the 7 plus foot freak show that Wemby and Bol Bol would present 😂

  5. Bol Bol as a forward could be good. It feels like he found the team he can finally bring in his bag with more impact. Wishing this talented still pretty young man a long and healthy career so we get to some nice ones from him.

  6. The suns are too small to utilize Bol as a small forward. He will be best used alongside another big like Nurkic, Metu or at a pinch, Eubanks.

  7. At the very least he picks the energy up and should be used as the spark off thr bench . I would just once like to see a lineup of Nurk, KD at the 4, Bol at the 3, Beal and Book, especially since he is looking confident with the 3.

  8. Man had 2 good games and now people are acting like he’s a star. Guy still can’t defend, gets bodied on the block, and gets our rebounded by people 10 inches shorter than him

  9. He was definitely a fan favorite when he was here in Orlando. He did the same thing here, bringing a huge spark to the team when he came off the bench. His biggest negative is when he received a hard pass he sometimes couldn't handle it. One too many fumbles and he wasn't inserted into the lineup anymore. I hope he's improved that part of his game. I was sorry to see him go.

  10. Yo I was saying that when Bol was in Denver. Play him at the 3. He started one game against the Nets and got smoked by KD. I seen Bol practice as a Nuggets season ticket holder. Do some amazing stuff. Wish it worked out in Denver.

  11. lmao being a benchwarmer on an injury riddled team and the bar to get praised being so low that 11 points gets him youtube videos shows nobody , even his fans take him being an impact player seriously. goin crazy over 11 points is disrespectful to an elite talent. reality isnt hate

    nobody thinks a team playin bol bol 25+ MPG/relying on him for 60-70 games is going anywhere. same as Kyrie , Lamelo , Lavine , Poole , Zion , Randle , Siakam , Cam Thomas , Garland and alot more. guys who are extreme liabilities once they relied on cuz there's a 100% chance that any game where they have under 25 or shoot bad , they become a 0/10 player. 7'2 and taking more threes than paint shots is 0/10 basketball

  12. I hadn't been watching any Suns games, cause I heard they weren't playing Bol. Last season, the Magic played the role of 'the other team I watched'. I strictly watched to see Bol Bol play (him, and also Terrence Ross). He was genuinely good, Rough around the edges sure, but good.

    He fell off a little as the season pressed on, something i noticed for players coming into a lot more playing time. But I thought, no biggy right? He'll be better next season. But then the Magic let him go. It was dis-heartening at first, but at the same time not so much, cause Orlando is Limbo for Big Men.

    After that I thought, great! The Suns have signed him, KD could tutor him. Help him get over the hump, like Moses Malone did for Charles Barkley back in the day. Then he didn't get any minutes. Sheesh.

    Glad to hear that's finally turned around. Maybe now I'll tune into some games.
