Bol Bol can barely get preseason minutes for the Suns. Follow Vonsanity on Social Media Twitter: Gabe- / gabeguerrero03 Email- thevalleypodcast20@gmail.com
Bol Bol is the type of guy that could have benefited from staying in college. He left after his freshman year at Oregon. Actually he only played about 10 games that season before he went down.
Bol going to Phoenix is no different from his situation w Denver. He needs to go to a non contending team that can get him experience like the Hornets or Wizards
@brotherLee340 he played well till he got covid then he was pretty horrible and the minutes went down. He's still young so hopefully gets another chance on a team that can give him minutes
Bol Bol has the skills to be special but man, after watching that last game it’s hard to defend him. He’s really epitomizing everything Gil said he was. Extremely lazy, he often times looks confused out there so he resorts to what he knows best which is chucking up low percentage shots. It really makes you question how often he works on his game in the off season.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Bol Bol has a mild learning disability and/or on the spectrum. You could still be a great athlete, but I really think his lack of bball IQ significantly hinders his abilities. Watch his first press conference for the Suns, it was concerning to me.
I think Bol Bol has a spot on this roster. I don’t view this last game against the Blazers as any indication. I think Frankie Vogues is just running different players in different role to test it out and see what he has. He just has not done that yet with Bol Bol. In the end Bol is a developmental big man / wing. No one is going to be mad when Bol plays the garbage minutes as Vogues try’s to work his magic. I would really like to see them move him around, get Bol off the block, maybe push him to the corner or the elbow and see what that looks like.
They are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. He’s an absolute star being shoved into a role playing position. In addition, his body language didplays that he’s attempting to confirm to fit the roster and style of play, but until he’s unleashed with the second unit, you won’t see great production from him.
Sometimes or at least how I feel today is he’s kind of doing what Zion is doing. He’s just somewhat sabotaging himself almost willingly and not caring what anyone says. Because this man is literally a McDonald’s all American, EYBL champ high school national champ, all of that reward stuff. He knows how to compete and I’ve seen him play extremely competitively to where his height and how he played it’s like unfair. Blocking every shot now he’s just jumping all late passing all late acting like he has no strength running in the way acting docile lol. He’s not a goofball idk what’s the issue at all maybe he just doesn’t like the nba idk.
I think what happens at 0:58 at least partly illustrates why he doesn't get minutes. He doesn't give a crap/have a clue on D his teammate is having to push him to the right spot.
Phoenix fans starting to find out what Nuggets and Magic fans know already 😂 Bol just doesn't have the mental part of the game down and will continue to suck until he does so
This dude is dope. They don't want him to use his dribbling skill and he use it anyway. They only want to use him as a center They want him to be. When he gon somewhere that allows him to do what he does best. He will be great.
Nah. The issue is he has no idea how to BE a 7footet on the court. He thinks he's 6'5, but 6'5 guys do 6'5 guy shit better than him. And they can't get ANY 7 foot play out of him...
Bol Bol needs a TRUE Opportunity on a team that wants and needs him. This kid is a nightmare. He's not a post player. He's a playmaker who needs the ball on the perimeter.
@@gyutaridaki1393 We've all been in situations where we know we're not truly accepted as "A part of". The fact, the "FACT" is that Bol Bol is "Different"! Athletically and more significantly, "Culturally". No doubt, growing up inside his household was different than growing up in my household, or Durant's household or Devin Booker's household. Bol Bol going to the park to hoop as kid, or going to school was a much different experience than ours. And you ALL KNOW EXACTLY what I'm saying. Feeling uncomfortable in your environment doesn't promote productivity well. If Bol Bol has the fortune to be traded to the Bucks where the face of the franchise grew up in a household similar to his own, and if he's allowed to play the position "His" skillset, and not his height says he should play, he'll start playing (Zion has that problem in New Orleans. Because he's big and physical, he's on the post. I'd have him as the 2 and let him abuse every guard in the NBA. Michael Jordan had to work on his handles and shot too. Somebody compared Zion to Barkley and the NBA said put him at Barkley's position (INSANE)). Not one person in the world is going to make a decision to go train with people who they know doesn't truly accept you. What I'm saying is, Bol Bol problems don't begin with basketball. That's not on him, that's on his teammates. These coaches and GM's get in the way of the game with their ignorance. If you want to know what it's like to cross someone over, get in the lane to get a steal, or hot a game winning shot, should you go ask the person on the team who never played in a actual basketball game before? Bol Bol is a natural 2 who they don't call plays for. It's clear they only want him on the floor to protect the rim while the offense goes through everyone else. So he gets frustrated and starts creating his own shots. He's 24 years old, he does what 24 year old's do when they're frustrated.
I love bol bol and his dad but I don't think he has it. He needs to learn so much stuff - setting picks, boxing out, rebounding, passing. He's fun to watch with his dribbling and shooting but that's not what teams need.
Bol bol used to be my fav back when he was averaging 18ppg in the magic until he got benched, of course i think he does need more play time to prove himself but then again on the court he just looks lazy.
They have alot of shooters and scorers on the Sun's team. More than anyone. So it'll be extremely hard for a young player to shine. SMH I want him to get time with the ball also. But this team will Not Groom him just like Nughets didn't. They trying to WIN right now 🤷🏽♂️
I think there is a good chance he doesn't make the 15 man roster. I have always thought he looks too slow, weak, and lost on the court when he plays. That said, I have alway pulled for him because I enjoyed watching his dad and he was such an amazing human.

Looks to me that each team just puts him on the team and then he an instant afterthought. I thought the the coaches job was to evaluate his skill set then give him a role the coach him up in that role. He looks like a great set dice that randomly gets rolled out on the court and if it's not "7" then game over! Either that or he must really stink in practice. I would take in the middle or end of my bench any day. He can score, block shots, dribble, rebound a bit and will be 7'2" every game. 🤔
Everytime a fan favourite doesn't get playing time people cry conspiracy. Same way it was with Tacko, Mac, Gelo. Y'all watch way too many highlights and not enough game.
Tall lanky underweight player that can't get a rebound and has the motivation of a sloth. Bol Bol has gotten his chances, but he's as good as gone from the NBA.
You just called him an old school dumb dum you are totally disrespectful man and Bol Bol isn’t getting minutes and they are playing him with who? Not the big 3 but with the end of the Roster players who don’t pass him the ball and who are trying to make the team that’s on coaching not Bol Bol
Why is bol playin with the 3rd stringers who are trying to earn a spot by shootimg it themsel only. Garbage minutes and much worse. Team mates not passimg him the ball. That the fu k else do you expect to happen. Our eyes see what a mismarch he is as a wing not a post player. In his Previous teams he o ly scores after getting rebounds. Beation 2-3 defendefs o. Nis run. And easily. And dunking it ala giannis. Only he can dribble better than giannis.
