24 blocks in his 9 college games. Think he averaged almost 3 blocks per through HS. Scouting reports say he's got good instincts for shot blocking and he's quick.
Knocks are durability, obviously, and potentially his competitive drive which is not something you want to see out of a high potential pick.
On paper though, Bol Bol is a legit prospect

I was referring to his father’s brief stint as a goalie for a minor league hockey team.

NBA isn’t an inside out game anymore, but that’s because everyone is trying to emulate the Warriors. Go against the grain and take Bol Bol. Eventually it will swing back the other way. Wendell and Bol Bol wouldn’t be so bad to build around with Lauri playing the 3 if all 3 are on the floor together. Bulls will be in the lottery again next year so they can take their chances on a unique prospect.

Haven't read through this thread yet, but is everyone in agreement that the lottery is definitely rigged?

Well, it really started with D'Antoni.

Bol Bol or Taco Fall would certainly give the Bulls a chance to neutrilize Embiid in the east and try something different by going super big at times...with a Lavine-Porter-Lauri-WCJ-Fall line-up. The lakers once had 3 near 7 footers and passed over the top of everyone.
Garland is the hope here. Ball would console me. A surprise bpa talent and FA pursuit of PG might just be the best thing in the end.
I'm not too excited or too pessimistic.

I simply do not see Ball improving this team.

He doesn't have to improve it much, but he does rebound and defend with a length few point guards have. As a good passer he can set up Lavine...Otto Porter Jr proved he is an upgrade at SF this team hasn't had in a while, and the real improvement on this team comes from the development of Lauri and WCJ

They don’t have a draw to get fans into the stands. It would be a good business move for at least a season or two

Only 2 teams would be this desperate - Bulls and Suns.
Even if its us i don't think there is a chance Phoenix passes on him.

Then what is the point of signing him?

You are buying him if his price is low because of Lebron drama and dysfunctional franchise with no clue on how to develop and use their parts.

In the scenario you propose, you're not buying him low.

The team that makes the most sense for the Garland promise is the Lakers assuming Knicks are getting Irving?
Correct me if I'm wrong but they want to trade Ball due to bad fit with Lebron and were using Rondo last year.
The angle perhaps we are missing is that we were already in trade talks with the Lakers who need ready now pieces in order to chase a championship.
If anything the Bulls should be seeking to trade up to #4 for Garland now. Maybe Lavine, Dunn, Lopez, future pick...etc...is what it will take.
I just think Lopez can help them now and unite with his brother. Ball and #4 come to us.

It appears I was wrong. Lopez isn't on an expiring deal, because Lopez is currently a FA. How can the Bulls trade someone not on their roster?
