- Travis Reier, BOL: In terms of getting the job done against a legitimate opponent, we've seen a complete game from Tennessee. Meanwhile, Alabama has done just enough to beat teams with comparable-to-inferior talent. Perhaps the Crimson Tide's first wire-to-wire performance of the season will come against one of its biggest rivals.
- Last night, Bol played 10 minutes, had 2 fouls, 1 turnover, scored just 4 pts, w/ 1 block & just 1 rebound. And hell, if Bol Bol can make it in the NBA with this type of effort. Watch as Wiseman drops the hammer on Bol last night.
On Tuesday, Bol Bol was surprisingly named a starter ahead of the Denver Nuggets’ matchup on the road versus the Brooklyn Nets. Bol was thrust into the starting lineup with Gary Harris out due to personal reasons, and the result was rather uneventful.
Bol, who was the starting small forward, recorded five points, two rebounds and one assist in a season-high 16 minutes during the 122-116 loss. Bol converted on 1-of-2 attempts from 3-point range after getting freed up near the wing.
BOSSI: The level that Bol Bol is currently playing at caught me totally by surprise.We have always known that the 7-footer is a big-time prospect with incredible natural gifts. However, how quickly it has all come together for him and how productive he's been – 25.4 points, nine rebounds and three blocks per outing in eight Nike EYBL games.
The news of Bol starting the game came as a bit of a shock considering he had just five appearances to this point of the season, mostly in mop-up duty. He showed signs of rust — traveling twice — while he was tasked with guarding Kevin Durant on the court.
The 7-foot-2 Bol hasn’t cracked the rotation this season with the Nuggets but he could eventually have the opportunity if the team elects to change things up, as they did on Tuesday. He gives opposing teams matchup problems given his size and ability to hit outside shots, and the Nuggets could look to take advantage of that this season.
