BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It was all jokes about Bol Bol until it was not anymore. Or shouldn't be, as we're witnessing this man grow (well, maybe not literally because that'd make no sense...) into more than a huge hooping Slenderman. And the best thing of all is that Orlando has realized they have a gem here, as they have handed Bol five consecutive starts and ample playing time of late.
Bol started the year playing fewer than 20 minutes in three consecutive games, then jumped up and into the 20-minute realm, and he's now logged 27+ minute in four of his last five games (all of them starting at one of the two forward positions). Bol has finished just one of his 10 games with fewer than 5 rebounds and he's blocked at least 1 shot in all but one game.
Barring a mediocre game against the Warriors last Thursday (19 MP, 4-6-1 and 2 blocks), Bol has been absolutely unstoppable while starting games (the first one coming on Oct. 28): 13+ PPG, 8.5+ RPG, 1 APG, and 2 BPG have been his averages. He's put up two dub-dubs over the full season (16-11 and 13-12) and he also has four games with 3+ blocks. He fell short of the double-double by one point once and by three rebounds yesterday (23 points, 7 boards, 2 dimes).
Adding wood to the fire, because why not, Bol is also scoring three-point shots with gusto having already hit paydirt five times from beyond the arc. Costco Wembanyama? Who says he's not!?
