There is plenty of excitement surrounding new Phoenix Suns big man Bol Bol. And why not? He’s 7’2” with a 7’8” wingspan. He shot 52% from beyond the arc at the University of Oregon. He has potential as a floor spacing rim protector, which is tailor made for the current version of NBA basketball. He’s a shockingly good ball handler given his size, just watch the YouTube highlights. He was the sixth-ranked player coming out of Findlay Prep and a projected top 5 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
