If you belong in the group of NBA fans who watched ball in the mid-80s to mid-90s or like to catch throwback games you’ll be familiar with Manute Bol. He was a gangly 7’7″ center who played with the Washington Bullets, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers in his 10-year career. Manute averaged four rebounds per game and was a blocks stat darling with 3.3 swats per game. His career high came in 1985-86 with five blocks per game.
Bol Bol is the son of the late Manute Bol and like his father is a lanky asset with similar assets and an offensive upside which fits the current NBA.
