He's been fucking awesome these last two games

[–]xcheezeplzKevin Johnson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I don't expect him to go from deep bench to an all star, but I like that he is earning more minutes. There are certain bench players, that even on games they aren't lighting up a stat sheet inject a different look, energy, whatever that gives the team a boost during their minutes.

No offense to Eubanks, he's a good dude, but lately it seems like Azu and Bol have been much more productive playing the 5 spot. This makes it pretty easy for Vogel to allocate those minutes to whichever of the 2 is playing better or matches up best.

Great, I'm starting to fall for it again...

[–]Fordraxel 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Jsut dont watch the last 20 games in Orlando where he was lost, the first 20 were pretty good though.

[–]ajteitelSpecial Agent Oso 6 points7 points  (1 child)

[–]Fordraxel 12 points13 points  (3 children)

YES

[–]TheMias24Kelly Oubre Jr. 10 points11 points  (4 children)

He’s been amazing. The crowd erupted every time he did anything good, which tonight happened pretty often.

[–]randydingdong[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Were you there?

[–]TheMias24Kelly Oubre Jr. 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Yes, unfortunate they lost, but that fourth quarter was great to watch. They even started chanting for Bol at some point too.

[–]randydingdong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking awesome!

[–]TheBaconD 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Coming from a Magic fan. Glad he’s doing well

[–]randydingdong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome brau!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

All we are saying Is give Bol a chance

[–]randydingdong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. Yes.

[–]The_Shade94Eddie Johnson #11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah he really just need the right support system and people in his ear. He is cut from the same molds as Holmgren and Wemby. He might never be as good as them but if he can replicate some of the things they do our team would significantly improve.

[–]Gratitude15 8 points9 points  (11 children)

I'm very happy with today's game

Because today we realized bol bol has changed. And it's going to be a big deal.

Bol is going to be in the rotation. It's unclear if he will start at 4 soon or backup nurk, but it will be 1.

This is a wild and scary emergence. Suns will be unleashed from this. Book beal KD bol nurk is real, with Gordon Allen and metu off bench. Smh

[–]Victorcreedbratton 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Please save me one of those percs.

[–]The_Shade94Eddie Johnson #11 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I wouldn’t start him. He isn’t ready for that and we need other guys in rhythm and confidence too like Metu.

[–]Gratitude15 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Not yet for sure. I want to see this for weeks on end. Almost stupid to talk about anything until we actually see that.

BUT

If bol plays just like this, no better or worse, for weeks on end - by all star break I could very much see that it's a good idea to start him.

[–]The_Shade94Eddie Johnson #11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed

[–]simple_minded_1Heartbreak Hotel 💔 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that he’s playing defense straight up and down even on switches. And he’s less inclined to jump on pump fakes - maybe he realized he’s a 7 plus footer.

I also like how he’s moving with intention whether on or off ball. And he’s got a shooters’ touch on those threes like his dad (rip).

He’s still Bol, but it’s clear that the coaching staff and the team believe in him. And that’ll go a long way imo

[–]Razkawebos -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Bol has always been Bol. It’s just now he’s gotten a chance to play. You peoples are funny.

[–]Gratitude15 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Nope.

His game tonight didn't match what I've seen before. Playing VERY different. It's amazing.

[–]Razkawebos 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I guess it depends on each individual’s expectations of a particular player. Ever since I’ve seen him play I’ve always been interested in his game and development.

[–]Gratitude15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One can be interested but not see basic aspects of discipline on the court. That's been bol. For years. Even until a few weeks ago.

Makes it hard to take these data points seriously until it becomes a real trend over weeks. We shall see.

But I do think it's worth naming that this is not the same playstyle, or even close to it.

[–]Fordraxel -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

Bol aint starting on any team thats serious with KD on it. and him playing the 5, he will get crushed in post ups, hell Zubac of all players backed him down. Bol is a better 4 than a 5. But I like how his confidence is up and he's not hesitating, and unlike Orlando, he's being smart(er) with the ball.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are prisoner of the moments. Same thing happened with Reddish during the IST and now look lol. Once teams start scouting bol bol, its prob gonna be a wrap

[–]Nash13101 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Suns should run a double big lineup with Beal, Book, KD, Bol, Nurkic. Thats 3 tall guys and enough shooting to not require grayson or eric gordon to be on the court. Both of them together can be the suns splash bros and lead the offense with the bench squad. Theres alot of real talent on this roster.

[–]randydingdong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m already hiring you over Vogel

[–]SnazzberryEnt 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Lmaooo it absolutely blows my mind that not one week ago people were talking about throwing Bol out the window like a banana peel and now this.

[–]randydingdong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how you do the Lindy hop bro

[–]oviedofuntimesSuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I was dead wrong about this guy.

[–]DiabloTrumpet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sub 5 days ago: “give BOL BOL to another team for free or I’ll kill myself”

[–]simple_minded_1Heartbreak Hotel 💔 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Isn’t he number 11? I thought Dreubanks was number 14 🤨
