Bol Bol sizzles in NBA bubble exhibition, is immediately drug tested

The games don’t count yet. But basketball fans are hungry.

Bol Bol satisfied on Wednesday, putting on a show in his NBA bubble debut with the Denver Nuggets.

The 7-2 rookie and son of NBA icon Manute Bol dropped 16 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks in an 89-82 win over the Washington Wizards. He hit 3-pointers, ran the floor and showed athleticism and handles his late father couldn’t have dreamed of during his 10-year NBA run as a 7-7 shot-blocking specialist.

Bol Bol does it all
Bol hasn’t play a single regular-season NBA minute yet, but got plenty of run on Wednesday starting in an unorthodox Nuggets lineup that included All-NBA center Nikola Jokic at point guard.

I think Bol was either undrafted or a 2nd round pick. He probably would have been picked higher a couple decades ago but height isn't as important in today's NBA.
