The Phoenix Suns made some foundational changes to their roster this summer, moving on from Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal and completely resetting their young core. In the process, a casualty appears to be fan-favorite forward Bol Bol and his limitless, if unrealized, potential.
Shaquille O'Neal thought he was as good as Victor Wembanyama. Coaches at different times have thought he was the next Kevin Durant, a point guard, a stretch-5, Andre Kirilenko, on and on. Unfortunately for Bol and the Suns, that potential -- real, imagined, insane -- was never reached.
The son of NBA shot-blocking legend Manute Bol, Bol Bol spent the last two seasons with the Suns and never cracked into the full-time rotation.
