BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Is it finally happening? It is, right? Right? Bol Bol, who Orlando inked to a one-year deal this past summer, has appeared in all six games played by the Magic this season while also starting in one of those. The return has been rather ridiculous given his low 19 MPG and looked at from a per-minute angle.
Bol is averaging a staggering 1.20 FP/min (league average at 0.90) while contributing 10 PPG, 6 RPG, and a freakish 2.3 BPG in the baby season. That's absolutely insane.
Nobody in the L is putting up such numbers other than John Collins, Anthony Davis, Brook Lopez, Nicolas Claxton, and Myles Turner. One of them has only played 57 total minutes and the other average at least 27 MPG compared to Bol sustained (114 total MP) play over a much lower per-game playing time (19 MPG).
Bol Bol is mostly going to play in the Magic second unit, can stretch the floor a bit (0.3 3PM on 1.2 3PA per game), and is on a five-man average 19.6% usage rate through the first six games of play. Bol is one of the most valuable players in the league and definitely one of the most promising and exciting fliers to take this early in the year with a monster upside if he keeps (not literally, please) growing.
