NBA Draft 2019: Mock Draft 1.0
By Chris Kern
Pick Analysis. Center. Oregon. Bol Bol. player. 147. Scouting Report. 16
Bol Bol is an extremely talented big man who has a chance to be a star in the NBA. His health is a major concern which is the case for any big player such as himself. He played in just nine games due to a foot injury, but he was dominant when he was on the floor.
During those nine games, he certainly showed his potential as he averaged 21 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game. He showed his potential on both ends of the floor as he looked like a future superstar. He was blocking shots on defense while scoring the ball from all over the floor on the offensive end.
The majority of his offense came from inside, but he also showed off his shooting ability as he knocked down 1.4 three-pointers per game at a 52% clip. It surely is a small sample size in the nine games, but that is enough shots to show that he will be able to knock down shots at the next level.
The Brooklyn Nets are a team full of quality talent and they could afford to draft someone who may not be healthy for next season. It will be tough for them to sign a star in free agency so they could draft for potential in this draft and if that’s the case Bol Bol should be their top option.
