Oregon Ducks’ center, Bol Bol, goes 44th overall to the Denver Nuggets after acquiring his rights from the Miami Heat. For a player of his caliber, he deserved to have his name called earlier in the proceedings.
Projected to be a top-10 pick in this year’s NBA Draft, an injury to Bol significantly hurt his draft prospects. The big man was limited to only nine games his freshman season at Oregon after a bone fracture.
On the court, Bol led Oregon Basketball oin points, rebounds, and blocks through nine games. At 7’3″, his ball handling skills appeared effortless and could shoot from any areas on the court.
