How many times can people talk about Bol Bol in hopes of turning him into a star? It seems like it’s been a topic of discussion ever since he stepped foot in the NBA.
So far, things haven’t panned out perfectly for Bol, but his stop with the Phoenix Suns this past year turned into him becoming a fan-favorite throughout the city.
He enjoyed some real success during his one year with the Orlando Magic, but they decided not to bring him back. Maybe the Washington Wizards could give it a try.
Bol’s physical skillset is exactly what teams should be dying to get their hands on nowadays, but he just hasn’t been able to put all the pieces together on the court.
In theory, he should be a great defensive weapon and an extremely unique offensive cog, but at each stop, he’s just been a step slow in both of those areas.
The Wizards aren’t going to be good next year. They aren’t even going to be close to being close to being good. So, why not take a chance on Bol in hopes that this is the year that he figures it all out at the NBA level?
