Denver Nuggets: Get to know Bol Bol
Despite not having a pick in the 2019 Draft, the Denver Nuggets came away with a big man oozing with potential in Bol Bol. After the 19-year-old big man fell into the middle of the second round, Denver pounced on the opportunity to add yet another dynamic player to the team’s young core.
“With Bol, at 44 it’s almost laughable at how much of a no-brainer it was,” Nuggets VP of Strategy & Analytics Tommy Balcetis told Nuggets.com. “He’s a tremendous talent and, from what we’ve seen, a very good guy. We all collectively had him very high. Layne’s (Senior Analyst Layne Vashro) model had him high, while our scouts and basketball people had him high as well. It was shocking to us how far he fell.”
