Yeah my first thought was a 35 lbs heavier Jeremy Evans.
Johnson isn't under contract and I would assume under the circumstances that he won't be back. Mack has a team option that I would assume after last seasons performance would be picked up. I would be stunned if it isn't. And a trade has to be coming that moves several players out of here in return for draft picks and releasable players. There's no way we start the season with this many guards. I was upset that no move was made last night. After the moves we'll have a better understanding of where Bolomboy fits... I hope.

From the games I saw Jeremy Evans play and the games Bolomboy played, I see absolutely zero connection.

Problem is he's a bit mechanical and not all that smooth. Guards will beat him because he doesn't seem to have the greatest instincts for that kind of defense.
Bolomboy has a LOT he needs to learn and get better at. Shooting and feel for the game are the two biggest things. If he can learn those things, he can be good, but now he's going against the NBA game where he's average as an athlete yet completely inferior intelligence wise, so he's going to be eaten alive in his current state.
He can get there where he can play 25 minutes a game and be positive statistically. It's all on him since he doesn't have the excuse of being inferior athletically to the NBA game.

Compared with what I just posted, his rebounding instincts are pretty good. Aspires to be Dennis Rodman and has been quoted as saying such.

Fair question. I'm not sure. Pleiss better be the guy though.

it's fair + an easy answer. As long as the FO doesn't mind eating their small contracts, they can simply cut them. If they don't want to do that, then giving a 2nd round pick to a team in exchange for taking on their contracts wouldn't be too hard to do. I personally think that Pliess is going to show something this year; and Ingles can hit threes, so...
The bottom line is that the roster is flexible enough, even after we get the wing that we need.

Why? Yes, he has a nice shooting touch, but he's way too weak for the NBA, and you know, he's actually older than Withey, who's a far better player.

Seems like there is something special, different, about JB. For all we talk about guys like Solomon Hill, etc, don't sleep on Bolomboy. He's got some Millsap in him - but ahead of Sap physically and shooting from distance at the same stage.
