Bol Bol (C, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues

ANALYSIS: If this is not the last week/window of opportunity for you to grab some shares of Bol Bol, then I don't even know what has gone wrong with this world. Bol is starting games nightly, has found a role in the Magic rotation that he is just not going to surrender, and he has blossomed into a do-it-all big man and a one-of-a-kind fantasy asset.

Bol is one of only four players in the NBA averaging 2+ BPG with more than 0.5 3PM per game (he's actually averaging 0.8 3-point makes a pop). His skill set is more than unique, and not even the return of Paolo Banchero last Friday stopped Bol for getting one more gig in the starting lineup--his 14th in a row getting all the way back to Oct. 28.

Bol failed to score double-digit points for the first time since Nov. 9 last Monday but he bounced back to 18 PTS last Friday against Philly. The shooting percentages are ludicrous even with Bol stretching the floor like a madman given his height: Bol is at 60/41/80 shooting splits hoisting 9 FGA, nearly 2 3PA, and 2 FTA per game.

No need to mention nobody in the league is shooting that volume at those clips because, as I already said, Bol is unique.

Even if you forgot about efficiency and go straight to the counting stats, Bol is averaging 13+ PPG, 8+ RPG, and 2 BPG in 26 MPG. That's something only Anthony Davis and Myles Turner are doing... but playing 34 and 29 MPG respectively and in comparison.

The only negative might be the 1.9 TOPG to 0.7 APG, but I could very well live with that considering all of the other things Bol brings to the table.
