Ducks Center Bol Bol To Enter Draft

Oregon Ducks freshman center Bol Bol will enter the draft and is hiring Creative Artists Agency to represent him, ESPN’s Nick DePaula reports.

The 7-foot-2 Bol, the son of NBA legend Manute Bol, is ranked No. 12 on Jonathan Givony’s ESPN.com list of 2019’s top 100 draft prospects.

Bol’s college career lasted just nine games. He suffered an ankle injury in mid-December and eventually a stress fracture in his left foot that required surgery. He’s expected to return to full basketball activities sometime this summer.

Bol put up impressive numbers during his brief period of good health, averaging 21.0 PPG on 57% shooting, 9.6 RPG and 2.7 BPG.

CAA will overlook his ongoing rehab and pre-NBA draft meeting and interview schedule, DePaula adds.

Bol Bol has the ability to stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting. Mike Schmitz of ESPN writes in his pre-draft analysis that Bol is a fluid center who moves extremely well for his size. He also has excellent rim-protection potential, thanks to his huge reach, solid instincts and timing, along with an intriguing offensive skill set.
