Joel Bolomboy HYPE THREAD

[Miggs]

Looks solid. His shot reminds me of Blake Griffin's. He looks a little slow to elevate though.

I've been saying we need to give him minutes -- not for his development primarily but moreso because we need rebounding and a Diaw/Lyles combo on the glass leaves a lot to be desired. His rebounding alone is what I think should get him some minutes as I think his athleticism and quickness helps disguise any of his weaknesses into our team structure. Play him as a small ball 5 and keep some advantage on the glass.

Looks like he's done 16 games in the D-league:

34 mpg
54% FG
47.8% 3P% (1.4 attempts per game)
13.4 RPG
1.4 BPG
1.8 APG
15.4 PPG
18.7 badass per game

He's played great in the D-league, and I like the strategy the Jazz are using to develop him. Having him practice with the Jazz and play for the Stars has been great. He looks like a solid rotational piece down the road. Would t be surprised at all to find him in the mix next year. Wouldn't mind seeing him get a couple minutes that aren't garbage time if any of Favors, Lyles or Diaw need a game off.

His shot has improved, less of a hitch but he still shoots it on the way down.

He was a versatile player at weber but his game is looking more refined now for sure. Big leaps for him. Being a weber alum id really enjoy it if he made the rotation.

I am the ultimate Bolomboy homer. It's cool to see others wanting him to actually get minutes.

With Favors not himself Bolomboy needs to play as Diaw and Lyles aren't nasty rebounders. Some offensive rebounds would be nice.

 

[Jazz4ever]

It should be mentioned he leads the DLeague in offensive, defensive, and total rebounding.

He's listed at 6'7", is he really only 6'7"?

He's 6'7.5" barefoot, bigger than Millsap and Faried.

It will be interesting to see if he actually makes the team next year or will just be on a 2-way contract.

He also has one of the most pathetic standing reaches ever listed for a PF/C. I'm assuming he purposely fibbed it though to make his vertical look bigger.

Looks promising, but just because a guy looks great in the D-League doesn't mean it will pan out in the big boy league. Wish Dante would have got more reps in D-League, it would have done him some good.

*Just noticed a ****ing BALL PIT court side. That **** is hysterical.

This.

Remember Almond scored >50 more than once in the d league.
