Among the top 5 tallest players in the league as of today, Bol Bol has not let his 7ft 2″ frame be the only talking point of his game. The Magic forward can shoot, assist, and no doubt rebound but also surprise us with his ball-handling skills and euro steps.

In the 28-games so far this season, Bol Bol has averaged 12.4 PPG, 7.4 RPG, and 1.8 BPG, shooting an impressive 60.8% from the field, including 40.0% from the 3-point line. Surprisingly, a second-round pick, drafted at the no.44, the Sudanese native seems to be having his breakthrough this season.
“He’s unique, he’s tough to deal with, and you have seen his confidence grown by the game. He can pretty much do everything on the basketball court,” said two-time champion and Finals MVP Kevin Durant when asked about Bol Bol.
Recently, Bol Bol had us in awe yet again, as he went coast to coast, beating the Hawks defenders with his spin moves and concluding the entire sequence, throwing down the jam.
NBA Twitter reacts to Bol Bol covering the entire court in a noteworthy sequence.
Given Bol Bol’s recent performances on the Magic, there have been some serious questions raised towards his former team Nuggets, and its management for not allowing the 23-year-old to play any minutes. Given in hindsight, the 7ft 2″ forward would have been a boon alongside the likes of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr.
