The Bol Bol Dilemma…

The Bol Bol Dilemma…

Affect the the def the offensive decision making of opponents when he’s on the floor with his length with his athleticism with his chaos inducing activity in addition to when he’s featured on the floor with Kevin Durant in addition to when he’s also featured with Yousef nerkish protecting the

Basket that allows for him to play with that kind of Randomness defensively that is Impactful do you want to talk about bu B you want to talk about little B B because he had a not not the greatest bu bow game tonight uh only uh eight points for him one for five sorry eight minutes one of five for the field only three

Points for uh for B bow but it didn’t feel like he really got a play through uh a lot of his problems and we were talking about that pregame Stephen that you kind of just need to like let him cook a little bit even when he’s not

Cooking because you you want to see what he can do even when he hits a little bit of adversity yeah I I struggle though I do understand you know why why Frank features him the way that he does because you can’t just you know throw Bowl in whatever lineup and it works the

Way you can with like a Kevin Durant type player he has to be insulated in a certain way for him to be effective especially depending on you know who your opponent is um I just feel like he’s still in that space where he’s trying to earn the trust of Frank vogle

And there’s like a there’s a spotlight on them for sure and I like that even regardless of a night like tonight that he’s not out there playing with hesitation he’s playing still free which is where he’s obviously optimized when he’s not put in a box and he’s able to

Just be bow and be just kind of just a random chaos Creator on offense and defense that’s when he’s at his best so I think these games like this one obviously they’re going to desire to see more from him but they’re important in process and figuring out how to feature

Him going forward and what against what matchups he might work better in versus the ones that he might not work as well in so I think it’s just kind of back and forth there with that yeah like with with bull right like I get it he wasn’t

Great this game usually when you’ve seen him plugged in and he’s playing with with the nerk or with the KD uh and definitely with one of the the big three and the big two guards out there as well so he’s never just out there and it’s bu

Bow time right like we’re just gonna go through and B B’s gonna dribble it up the court like he did in Orlando and take a step back three like he didn’t like that that’s not happening right but in a game like this where every is so

Ugly like like the offense was was was ugly tonight like it had good moments but overall I mean shooting percentage wise like there was some pretty ugly bricks here man like we we were watching and Grayson Allen missed the entire Rim Eric Gordon had the loudest brick I

Think I’ve ever heard in my entire life and they had good games but there were those were still happening right I feel like this is the time the Charlotte Hornets on Friday March 15th you need to let bub play through this type of stuff and I’m not just sitting there going and

Saying that because I think he’s a fun commodity and he he deserves 30 minutes a game and should be in the sun’s starting lineup but if you don’t look at Bull bu right now and think this is a guy that can swing five minutes in a playoff series for us then then you

Haven’t been watching Sun’s basketball or at least you haven’t been watching it right because at his best at his Peak he can swing that but today that that wasn’t the case but he got the plug pulled I think he played five minutes in the first half three minutes in the

Second half and he just didn’t get a chance to go out there and get a rhythm and that’s really that’s really big for basketball players Aaron I know you play basketball every single week like sometimes you get out there in the first five to 10 minutes that you’re hooping

You’re like I’m not really feeling this that you work up a sweat you get a little bit out of breath and you start just to have it come more naturally I feel like they need to do that with bull do you agree uh you kind of like I said

Earlier like you kind of have to keep a short leash like you got to let them kind of figure it out but you kind of have to keep the short Leash too in October November December yeah you could have done this those are the easy games

Like but to be trying out the bu bow experiment as good as it has been how how fun as as it has been how confident he looks now I think trying that now when you’re in the playin technically and you’re trying to get out of it you

Can’t really test out the b bow situation as much as you probably want it to early on it’s kind of just too late and you got to start figuring out how the big three can click before even trying to make B bow click but they didn’t they didn’t try it earlier right

And like you’re right I listen in a perfect world I would would have loved for them to initially Implement him but maybe the reason why he’s come in and be been able to have an impact is because they just took him aside and said we’re going to work on you we’re going to

Coach you we’re not just going to throw you in a game and let you go out there and and you know burn everything to the ground like we’re going to work on everything with you and then we’re going to slowly integrate you and we got to the point where where he was playing

Close to 20 minutes in a game right and so to me it’s it’s not just this is the bull bow experiment now like I think you’ve seen enough to know that he can be a positive player for you and with Eubanks playing the way that he is with

That young getting absolutely no minutes you traded away all your other big forwards like there is room for him to be a backup here for Kevin Durant there’s room for here for him to play with Kevin Durant you can fit him into a lot of different lineups I don’t like

Him playing with you Banks but he can I’d prefer nerk bu KD and I think there was some people in the uh in the chat who were asking for that lineup as well so I don’t know if I’m sitting here saying it’s the bullbull experiment like

I get it you have you haven’t been able to see enough of him yet but from what I have seen like he is he has shown that that he can play and he can hoop so like if you have to put on you know your your genie hat Stephen look at your crystal

Ball and say it’s it’s let’s say the Suns make it out of the plane or they’re not in the playe in the first place whatever and they’re playing a first round matchup in the west you’re going to be playing somebody tough eight nine 10 minutes into the game are you looking

Down and expecting bu B to check in for the Phoenix Suns yeah I I actually wrote about bull uh maybe about five or six weeks ago over at Bright Side of the Sun and just kind of assessing at that moment in time the impact that he had which had them

Performing with him on the floor as the best defense in the league in defensive rating there’s just for a team like I talked about in pregame that has uh a size issue in terms of how many guards are featured in their main rotation to have a piece that can go out and contest

Shots and just be affect the the def the offense decision making of opponents when he’s on the floor with his length with his athleticism with his chaos inducing activity in addition to when he’s featured on the floor with Kevin Durant in addition to when he’s also featured with Yousef nerkish protecting

The basket that allows for him to play with that kind of Randomness defensively that is impactful and when this team is up in the the activity levels defensively and then they’re playing out in transition that’s some of the best that that this team can kind of uh weed

Through their offensive process and I think B really puts them in those positions just off of what he does as his Baseline we’re not even talking about him doing anything exceptional in terms of the box score just some being a presence out there on defense has so

Much value for this team and I think again when he’s featured the right way with nerkish and with Kevin Durant you’re able to kind of see and reap the benefits of doing so in the manners in which he can be featured I think it’s pretty clear that uh b b is still

Earning some trust from his coaching staff h
