βοΈπ Bol Bol: About to Rise with the Suns? π΅π₯
TL;DR; π
Giant baller Bol Bol, previously with Orlando, is possibly Phoenix-bound. Freshly free to wander, he’s tickling the fancy of teams with his unique game, including the Suns. In spite of an injury-tainted career, he’s been on the up, with his past season stats showcasing his potential. However, inconsistency and a slump in the last stretch of games have raised eyebrows. Suns may have to juggle their roster to make room for Bol but are they ready to gamble on this intriguing player? π€
πΌ The Ballad of Bol Bol π
Looks like the ball is rolling for Bol Bol, free-agent goliath of the court, to possibly land in sizzling Phoenix, as per the grapevine. With Orlando choosing to pass up on his 2023/24 salary, Bol became a free agent, ready for a new beginning. π
Standing at 7’2″, Bolβs unique skill set, including an ability to handle the ball, has piqued interest across the league. A tantalizing prospect for teams and fans alike, he’s had a checkered past with his health, limiting him to 53 games in his first three years in Denver. π₯
But hey, 2022/23 was a good year for Bol. He stayed fit, played 70 games, and put up some decent stats: 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 21.5 minutes per night. π
However, the question remains: Is Bol Bol a consistent bet? His stats show a tale of two Bol Bols. The first half of his season was stellar, dropping 11.9 PPG, 6.8 RPG, and 1.6 BPG with a solid .584/.361/.740 shooting line. Then things turned a bit sour in the last 29 games, with averages of 5.1 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 0.7 BPG. Could it be the infamous sophomore slump? Or maybe Bol’s still finding his stride in the big leagues? π€·ββοΈ
Now, the Suns already have 15 players on standard contracts, sans Bol. To make room, they’d likely need to rethink their roster. They do have some wiggle room with Jordan Goodwin’s small partial guarantee and Ish Wainright’s non-guaranteed deal, but the question stands: Are they ready to roll the dice on Bol Bol? π²
Word on the street is that Phoenix’s interest in Bol was first reported by Marc Stein and John Gambadoro. So, let’s see if the Suns are ready to rise with Bol Bol and take their game to new heights. π
In the meantime, the conversation continues. Is Bol Bol’s unique playstyle worth the gamble for the Suns, or could his inconsistent performance become a roadblock? What do you think, folks? Could Bol Bol be the bolt of energy the Suns need to light up the court, or will he just be another shooting star? βοΈπ
