[Official] Bol Bol is a Phoenix Sun! : Tim Hardaway thinks Bol > Wemby

Did anyone else continue to read this post in the 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' tune in their head for a bit too long? Okay, fine.... I was the only one.

 

Rockets really do need one more big bodied 7 footer who can do a little of everything.

 

Wonder what the odds are on Jabari reaching 7-foot in shoes

Sounds like Sengun might already be there

 

Don't forget:

Sacramento - Sabonis
New Orleans - Valanciunas
Portland - Nurkic
Memphis - Adams

 

Well, Bol Bol is a vet, but I have never been big on stick men in the NBA. Height is great but durability matters. It is an 80 game schedule, brutal.

 

During a recent episode of “Gil’s Arena,” when asked about Bol Bol’s prospects in Phoenix, Arenas expressed his doubts, expecting disappointment from the former Orlando Magic center. He compared Bol Bol to a beautiful girl with a bad attitude. “The same thing he brings to every other team — disappointment. Unstoppable talent, but he ain’t using it,” Arenas responded on what he anticipates from the 23-year-old’s stint with the Suns. “Have you ever seen a really beautiful girl? She’s beautiful, got a bad attitude, right? She’s not attractive no more because of her attitude. Bol Bol is the pretty girl with a bad attitude.”

No he's not better than Victor. The main reason why him and Mo Bamba are moved around alot is the lack of BBall IQ. These long dudes just don't have it up there and some teams think they can change that.

 

I laughed out loud. Thanks, Tim

Garnett was basically the original unicorn, the virtual 7-footer who could play everywhere on the court, guard every position, handle the ball and shoot—the forefather of guys like Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now we have Victor Wembanyama, who’s maybe the ultimate version.

TMac: He's new, from France, I get it.

You seem a little skeptical.

TMac: No, I'm just saying the hype is crazy to me. It's too much, bro. I've seen this before. Y'all act like you haven't seen it. That **** that Bol Bol can do? He's just not given the real opportunity, like I think he should. That kid is skilled. [Kristaps] Porzingis was highly skilled when he first came out, just like that. And hell, he's 7-3, too. So I've seen it. The hype is just crazy. But I get it. It's the media, they're looking for a face for the NBA, and you got to have a new star that you got to build around. Bron is about to be on his way out, Steph and those guys, I get it.

 

Wemby is 19.
Chet is 21.
Bol is 23......
Porzingis 28

Alexandre Sarr is coming..

This opens up for players who look like Shawn Bradley but play like Durant and block like Dream.

 

Is tinman celebrating Bol Bol killing the Rockets?
