NYRaider Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Coby White is my 2nd favorite prospect after Zion. I'd probably take him over Morant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Rui's a bit longer (2.5-in longer wingspan) and should be a better defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know where a center like him fits in today's game. Not to say he isn't a talented player, but I just don't see how he can matchup against some of the more elite centers in today's game or even the smaller, quicker guys currently masquerading as centers.

He's definitely a project but his upside is through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to workout with Giannis' trainer or whomever. Didn't Giannis gain 50 LBs of muscle. If players like Bol can gain enough basketball functional strength it just makes their whole game better. I still believe in Bol's upside, but now may realize it will come along slower than I hope. Edited May 17, 2019 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes basically a taller thon maker with a little more skill. He’s going to get snapped in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t gain weight while on crutches and not able to move then thats a pretty bad sign. He’s always going to be underweight and an injury concern.

I would say he is a lot more skilled than thon, also a lot longer than thon. Tho nowhere as athletic. Bol will probably be 235 by his 2nd season in the league. I doubt weight is gonna be an issue for him in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
