I’m glad that bol bol Finally got the chance and opportunity to show his full potential Im happy for him
I am too. He is one of my favorite players right now. I been pulling for him and am glad he's in an organization that is giving him a chance to get better. He is getting it done out there.
Cool. Do you want an interview?
So what if Orlando gets number 1 pick in the lottery? Do they take victor?
@@FFA441 any team would be stupid not to take Wemby with the #1 pick
@@No-rl9wn I agree 100% but do u think victor plays center and bol PF or vise versa?
If he can keep this up, I think that Bol Bol could still live up to tbe hype of being one of the biggest draft steals from the 2019 NBA Draft.
I feel he'll just get better, given that he hasn't really been getting the chance to play. It's fun to see him blossom.
He was the 44th pick. Most 2nd round picks don't ever end up starting for an NBA franchise. He's technically already been one of the biggest steals from the Draft just by accomplishing even this small sample size's worth of stuff this year.
Nah.
I think we will see once the Magic are fully healthy. Once Wendell Carter gets back he may go back to 15min a night
He's got what it takes, but like for most big men, the question is whether he can stay healthy. When the trade with Detroit was voided due to a failed physical, you have to consider whether he's been hiding injuries while on the Nuggets and whether that contributed to some of his poor play or perceived laziness.
Bol Bol is in a similar situation jerami grant was in where they had to go to a bad team to develop their skills. Ironically both were traded from the nuggets
Technically Grant signed from the nuggets
The future looks extremely bright for the Magic. Banchero is going to be a superstar, Wagner is a stud, Wendell Carter Jr is improving each year, Suggs has potential and then there is Bol Bol who has made a huge leap this year.
On top of that, it looks like they will get a decent pick from the draft this year. They could be an incredible team if everything comes together.
I guess if you tank for a decade you gotta be good at some point
I know it's a pipe dream, but what if Orlando get Wemby in the draft too?
A lineup of Banchero, Carter, Wagner, Bol and Wembanyama would be absolutely unguardable
Don’t forget Orlando has two 1st round picks, they own the rights to the Bulls’ pick.
@@jeffgumawid7554 wemby plays a lot like bol bol
@@mrmonkey123 Exactly. Bol + Wemby would be like a modern day Twin Towers but with ridiculous ball handling and outside shooting
Then add Banchero quarterbacking them, Carter if all else fails, and Wagner as the third option down low.
No one will be able to penetrate the paint with that 3 headed monster, plus 2 quick 7 footers can honestly cover the corners so only logo shots will beat that squad
The kid has a mission. He wants to prove he's isn't just a niche pick being tall for just an specific role. Good to see him balling with above average numbers in Orlando. Unlike on what he was in Denver, the recent Bol Bol is blowing my expectations. His dad must be so proud!
I feel like Bol Bol wasn’t a bad player when he first got drafted. He just needed the right opportunity. With the nuggets he was never going to be an offensive option playing behind Jokic, but now in Orlando he’s proven he can be that consistent scoring and rebounding threat on a young team. It’s great to see him thriving in Orlando.
Thank youuuuuuuu! I've been saying this for years.
Sadly Orlando spends very little on player development which is why Aaron Gordon never improved and Mo Bamba hasn't either.
@@bobharley1 tbh I feel like they just waited for the perfect core because they kinda rushed the development of Shaq, Penny and Dwight with their play style and all but after their rage with the organization as they were forced to do things they didn't want so they are seeing how they can develop certain players as Mo had talent but it would be hard to make him a superstar due to his build and Isaac is too defensive and Gordon's career in Orlando would have been better if they gave him the right role as a driver, lob finisher and rim protector because Vucevic was not the ideal defensive big man while Gordon had the keys to being one. Gordon's shooting isn't terrible but nearly no one could meet him in the air apart from other freaks of nature
@@alwayshasbeen7125 AG is the type of guy need a Point Guard like Steve Nash or CP3 where in Magic has none same as Bamba they are not the player that operates one on one in short a role player 😉
People who actually love basketball will know this. Fan boys just like there fav . This vedio said he did nothing in denver man . Seeing him play we all knew he need more minutes
Fantastic analysis, Andy. Imagine the growth curve Bol Bol is experiencing as he's given the opportunity to play thru his mistakes...watching game tape, adjusting and improving his performance, aided by a training and coaching staff that believes in him and encourages him. Imagine his "upgrade" at season's end and over the summer when he has a chance to truly reflect on the last season's results and spend quality time working to fill in the holes in his game. The upside for Bol Bol and the Orlando Magic is staggering. They may not be the winningest team in the NBA right now but they are definitely my favorite team to watch. Andy, I love that you are willing to give a fair assessment to the game and players as the truth reveals itself to you. Keep up the good work!
Honestly, the Magic, Pistons and Spurs are awesome to watch, young eletric core just playing through mistakes and learning from them.
Disclaimer: Spurs fan and i have, Banchero, Bol, Cade and Ivey on my dinasty fantasy 😂
I am actually looking forward to see Bol Bol match up against Wembanyama next season due to their similar playstyle. I hope Bol's future will be much brighter with the Magic as long as he stays healthy in the future.
If they're not teammates! If they keep this roster and add VW, they can play a lineup with 5 players 6'10 and up.
That 1.5 fpg is outstanding. The Magic can play him as a closer without worrying about him committing too many fouls.
so happy for him. I had a feeling people were being a bit hasty in writing him off.
People are forgetting that these players are coming in so early, 2-3 years sooner than they were 15 years ago. There are plenty of played that has been able to play well off the back but players need to develop coming off the college after one year. These young players gets a lot of hype during high school that if they make it to the NBA and and don't live the hype right away they're a bust. Even Curry took 5 season before he started to go off.
Wish Taco Fall had this opportunity
@@fabienobame3977 He did, he never had the skills. He was never a top talent, Bol Bol was supposed to be a lottery pick
@@blowc1612 I agree. I feel the NFL does the same thing to young players
I'm just glad he's finally getting minutes and is showing what's he's always been capable of 💯 he gettin that 2k rating up 😂💯
Honestly, it just seems he's 100% healthy for the first time since getting to the league more than anything else.
Been following your channel for a couple of years now. Love the content and the follow up stories to previous videos. Keep up the great content! Love listening to your videos
So much of these players' success comes down to chance. Chance that they get drafted into the right situation, on the right team, and that they earn/get opportunities. I'm glad to see Bol2 getting his.
im glad you were able to admit you were wrong about bol bol, cant say the same for a bunch of other channels who were saying Bol Bol would be out of the league soon lol. I always knew he had this in him he just drafted into a horrible situation. How would he ever get any chance when he had to play behind Jokic... people forget that during his college season he was projected to be a top 5 pick before he got injured and put out the whole year. He was playing insane.
I was expected this video from you! Nice
Imagine them winning the Victor Sweepstakes? they might be the first team starting all positions 6'10" above
The only thing that I'm scared for big guys like Bol is they are prone to injury.
DeAaron Fox isn’t scared of shooting on bol bol he scored 3 straight possessions on him
Your are funny any guard can shoot over any big man. They are too fast to create seperation.
Dude had a 5 game stretch where he plays ok, now everyone think he gonna live up to those hyped up expectations he had in high school 😆
Well at least he'll be better than James Wiseman will ever be
Nobody is saying that 😂 Were just saying this is the right trajectory and atleast imo his floor is 6th man of the year and ceiling of a superstar
I loved this video man ❤
This guy is unbelievable, don't get me wrong Bol is good too. Most pleasent and thriller music and perfect narrative give Andys videos great quality, without heavy editing and stuff too and his basketball knowledge is on point I think we can all agree. Thank you man for the greatest basketball content on yt.
If he can bulkup like Gianni's, he would be scary
Not everyone can just do that. Genetics are also a thing 😐
He was a big baller this preseason and has had a good start to the 22-23 season
Sometimes it takes a bad team to bring the best out of players. Im kinda glad Bol Bol in on the Magic. The playing time he gets can help him showcase his abilities.
Yeah, MJ's Bulls and Curry's GSW. Both team were garbage b4 them,
Good video Andy. Overall, the media needs to be more patient with these young players. We're in the age of wanting results immediately. We expect draft picks to enter the league like Luka or they're a bust. Most new players need at least 4 years to develop for their true potential to show.
I enjoy seeing players evolve and turn into producers/stars, and they still have plenty of time ahead of them.
CENTERS NEED 5 YEARS OR MORE TO GEL! Let that scary thought sink in for a minute!
Its also cuz of da 1and done players dont get a chance 2 develop n college
@@bbgcars right look at Kristaps
As a Bol Bol RPA card collector, I am glad he is balling out! Just shared my Bol Bol collection on CZcams haha
In life in general - having someone believe in you empowers success! I hope Bol Bol has a long and effective career.
Not use to the Magic making such a good move but here it is. Bol Bol seriously got game. Not sure why he's getting so few minutes as the Magic should be letting him run more and exploring how far he can go right now. I wrote about the Raptors targeting him in a trade coming up on my Substack. I think he's got a lot more to offer teams.
The magic have made excellent trades, drafting, and signings since our new management took over
Because he's a black hole on offense and his defense is horrendous.
@@euroteknique12 these are rookie problems tho lol. And make no mistake he is basically still a first year rookie. Nuggets gave him garbage time mins for 3 years whenever he was healthy and not much else. They didn't develop his game at all. It would be strange to assume he doesn't get better both on offense and defense as most players do when playing consistent meaningful minutes
He’s getting 30 minutes a game.
Lol brings me back to my good ol high school days in SoCal when we had the chino hills team hyped up with the ball bros and mater dei with Stanley Johnson and then bol bol transferred there.
hes got an impact with any teams he might not stop giannis or AD but he can challenge their shot and force them to guard him since he got some outside touches, not sure why other teams gave up on him
And he has a legit 3 inches on AD and Giannis and a longer wingspan
As a magic fan we love this guy in Orlando. I just hope he remembers who gave him a chance and he sticks around when his contract is up.🙏🏼 He has a chance to be a fan favorite legend here
Bulls need one of those Magic PFs.. He looks great.. Can we get Mo Bamba?
Nice Andy I’m glad you own your take some people will ignore it or act like nothing happened lol 😂
Let's hope he stays injury free, he has a high ceiling
Great analysis! Has he expressed which NT he's willing to represent next level? Nowadays, the historic track don't mean a thing (can't understand the contradictions) I'm glad for him. I'm curious about his future, as the Mohamed Bamba's. Greetings from Portugal. Ps- Also very happy with the health the League is demonstrating, so many talented players, so much young blood! Chances are being given as i have never seen before. I once feared the worst: the League was stagnant around the transition of the millenium. Só many veteran players, lack of generational rennewal Today, all the signs are on opposite drection. I find it vibrant! Sure, veteran players will always be needed.
He need to be consistent first.. Thats the most important if he wants to stay on starting 5 and to improve his game.
@Andy Hoops, you're a certified "G" for making this video after your initial video about Bol Bol. #SALUTE
Great video
I love watching the magic now! Him and banchero heating shit up.
RESPECT 🤝🏽 YOUR STAND UP FOR THAT 💯
As often the case, media portrayal of an athlete has a big impact to them mentally. Let’s hope this dud could get or atleast maintain minutes and make good use of it because after orlando there no assurance he can get the same opportunity again. Nice take as always👍
Andy hoops is the best
Great see BoL BoL happy in team where he is wanted his future is bright I see him being all star soon and future DPOY he deserves it
Giving Mike Malone a pass for sitting a player with crazy potential like that is ridiculous. Especially since they need a guy like him now. That was just bad player development by them. No way they couldn’t give him at least 15 minutes when jokic was literally out there with 10 tile players last season
I was rooting for him (Bol Bol) to succeed. I wish Thon Maker would also succeed but he didnt have the opportunity to develop (in Milwaukee) and was already too late when he played in other teams.
- J Isaac didn't failed, injuries.
- Magic has too much options instead actually, that the touches are irregular.
Paolo, Franz, Suggs, Fultz, Cole, WCJ etc
Very young team.
Also people seem to forget about Chet
He does not like Isaac. He threw shade at him in another video. I think it was because Isaac was against getting the vaccine and had nothing to do with him as a player.
@@jscott218500 You right, I totally forgot about that. Probably the vaccine thing and also his religion thing where he didn't take a knee. American things I guess.
Isaac was #2 on the DPOY candidate before going down to injury too! And his offensive numbers went up.
Thank you for self accountability Andy it’s really appreciated.
I have liked bol bol game sense he was in high school. First time I saw him play. I was like no way. How the hell does he move so smooth on the court. Being so tall. As a magic fan I was happy they traded for him. When he wasn't going to play last year. I was like I bet they sign him and give him a shot. They signed him two years. Which was a great move. He has been really good so far this year. I watch all their games. The future is bright in Orlando. My favorite part is his different floaters. I'm like that is not fair. For anybody guarding him lol
10:15 as a Boston fan I hate that we didn’t give him a chance before trading him. However totally excited for his taking over the NBA!
I'll be honest and state as a matter of fact that Orlando might just have a foundation for the future success they will have. They have two of the best frontcourt players in Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, a nice backcourt with Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs, Bol Bol, and Wendell Carter is finally having a breakthrough season as a starting Center. Orlando might not be good now, but if the front office gives this time to develop and gets the right pieces in the offseason then they will be good.
Good to see him improving
I want to see him vs Victor Wembyana
or him and chet
Great post....I wa a BIG Manute Bol fan. I just watched BOL BOL play the Wizards and yes..He can play!!
Bol is love, Bol is life
Finally, he is slowly able to redeem himself
It's insane how this kid has such movements and ball handles when his so tall it's absolutely unbelievable. This kid will shock a lot of people....
Going to Orlando was a blessing in disguise now look at him. He's balling out
The good thing about Andy Hoops is he admits his mistake, unlike some other Basketball CZcamsrs.
So happy for him he finally gets a legit chance in Orlando
I always believed in the guy along with Tacko. Its not too often we get giants who are skilled at the game.
Tacko is absolute garbage. He’s not even skilled.
Bro's gone be an ORLANDO legend waTCH..... Believed in bro since the bubble
I always liked Bol. Glad to see him finally getting a chance to show what he can do.
Lol you were so quick to give up on my boy bol
Bol BOL is the truth! By the end of the season they will be giving the NBA headaches. The Magic need to play their big lineup more.
Bol content 🔥🔥🔥
Who failed on the Magic? Isaac didn’t fail he became injured. Fultz the same thing. Bol Bol needed a chance and took advantage of his opportunity.
Bol bol the goat man been watching dude since high school he’s about to be nasty in a few years
Bol bol has a bright future, can't wait
I seriously knew all along that he just needed time and a change of scenery to be at least above average
Bol is a spectacle to watch a spectacular spectacle
The thing about him now is that he's agressive both end of the floor, unlike before. Well, to be fair with him, he has more minutes in Orlando than Denver.
only thing he needs to improve on his draft day suit, but it's a little too late for that hehe
Bol always had it, he was injured and most importantly he wasn’t in a favorable situation being drafted to a playoff contender trying to reach the finals
I'm so glad he got a chance to show off his abilities!!
Cant wait to see bol bol vs. wemby
That guy is the compact version of his father Manute Bol smaller than his dad but has an ability to shoot the rock from mid-range to downtown.
I hope you're keeping your eye on Chet Holmgren lol..
Honestly tho if he can keep this up , he can be reminded as one of the steals from the underrated 2019 NBA Draft
But I’m so glad he’s showing his chance and his overall opportunity to play more
He wont be a steal of the draft since he was already let go by the team that drafted him.
Orlando has a good young core if they can develop together. Paolo, Franz, Bol, Suggs, Fultz, still got TRoss….
Don't forget
Cole Anthony
Carter Jr
Bamba
Yeah and Wendell and JI were are two best players at some point so just wait till they come back
@@BabaYagaRacing damn I almost did my bad
@@Alex-nh1hb you’re right. I love Wendell energy
Next season, it will be crazy Bol and Wemby go 1 on 1
I feel like bol bol is the dream pick for a terrible team. Yet none took a shot on him. The nuggets did and didn’t even use him. Glad the magic are.
flipping crazy how he knocks down threes. One of my top 3 players
Bol Bol redemption this season 🔥🔥🔥
I sure thought we had Bol in Detroit, I'll take a cheap project with that upside any day.
He is amazing. That big and moves so fast and shoots with athleticism.
congrats for figuring, unlike the genius coach in Denver, that Bol has talent, something that was obvious from Day 1 in Denver to anyone knowing anything about the game.
if they make him the second or third option on offense this year., he will improve a lot..
BASKETBOL is evolving...thank you Bol Bol
He should win the most improved player award this year.
I went to school with his brother and sister. Glad to see he's finally getting a chance.
College? what school?
Na highschool. Hackensack highschool but they left right after they graduated.
Ngl i sleep on him too but hes definitely been improving
If bol can get his defensive game on 🎯💯% he's definitely gonna be even more dangerous. He's definitely a scoring machine though and I'm glad he's getting this PT because now he can work on his flaws.
He finally getting the opportunity he deserves
It's good to see Bol getting a chance. I really wish Omer Yurtseven would get a chance to play in Miami. He's the best big man on the Heat besides Bam, but Spoelstra won't play him.
He's fun to watch
I watched Manute play on TV when I was a kid. I always root for old man Bol and I’m still rooting for the kid Bol.
Victor Wenbenyana, or whatever his name is, gave him an opportunity to shine.
I wish he doesn’t get injured. His frame is very injury prone.
Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
Bol Bol so far is (almost) everything people say Wemby is gonna be in the league
Bol Bol is in a good situation and, while his numbers have declined somewhat as the season has gone on, he has definitely shown a lot of promise after not being able to get his career going on some good Nuggets teams. What’s even better is he’s on a Magic team that is trying to get better and even has an outside shot at the play-in. Playing on teams like the Rockets and Spurs doesn’t benefit young stars because they’re told they can just chuck up shots all game. Watch the interview Theo Pinson had with John Wall and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
