Magic big man Bol Bol locks up Luka Doncic on defense, blocking the Mavericks superstar’s mid-range fadeaway jumper. The 7ft 2″ forward is having an impressive outing this season, a top 10 leader in blocks, averaging 2.2 per game, while even showcasing his versatility on the offense.

Coming off a career-high against the Kings, Bol Bol seems to have developed the 3-ball. Son of Manute Bol, known to be one of the tallest players in NBA history, the Magic forward was rated as a 5-star recruit.
