The highlight that Bol Bol just made is downright dirty. He went on a full court break and dunked through the lane while juking 3 Hawks out of their socks. Check it out on Twitter to see it. Hes currently trending as a result. I cant believe he didnt get more playing time before the trade. I know hes probably gotten better as a player but its clear he has major skills that go beyond a year of growth on the basketball court.
It's a travelling violation but... who cares. It's the NBA and they don't call travelling violations especially when a player is on a fast break.
Removing the violation, Bol Bol is the one who is rising now on the Magic who is now on a 5-game winning streak.
Many are eyeing on Wembanyama because of how versatile he is but can we just look on how Bol Bol is playing. He can pass, he can defend, he can make fastbreaks, he can shoot, he's tall. He's like a Giannis version 2.0 or well it isn't that close still but give him more time and he can develop his skills even further. The problem that I'm seeing is his body frame. Since he's very thin compared to other 7-footer big players out there, he's more prone to injuries.
Forget Wembanyama and don't overhype that kid. We already have Bol Bol who is rising right now, and he can also do the things that Wembanyama can do (or at least most of them). He might be included in the Most Improved Player as long as he will not get injured the whole season and TBH, he might win it if he will be a candidate.
