The sudden rise of Bol Bol has captured fans everywhere, as he quickly went from seeing no minutes on the court at all to becoming an important part of the Suns’ bench rotation.
Since Kevin Durant’s recent injury, Bol has seen meaningful minutes in the past three games. In this stretch, he is averaging 9.6 points and 5.6 rebounds. When you take into account that before this week Bol had just 6 points and 4 rebounds on the entire season, his sudden emergence is quite remarkable.
Feeding off the crowd inside Footprint Center, which ensures Bol gets an ovation as soon as he enters the game, the 7’3 PF had yet another highlight reel play against the Miami Heat on Friday.
