Game Day: Suns (14-12) @ Trail Blazers (6-19), Tues 12/19/23

[TOO]

Bol is a novelty. He was signed as the guy you bring off the bench when you're so far ahead the other team has no shot. Book and KD assumed we'd be awesome and he'd get some PT, welp, Suns are average and Bol is a waste of space.

About Bol Bol being a defensive player of the year candidate? Yes I think he was wrong

This isn’t fair, imo. There’s still ton of season left to play, too early say he couldn’t do it.

Plus Perk has a pretty good track record about being right. I don’t think anyone anywhere can point to a time he was wrong about anything anytime ever.

Wally... say it aint so? You're a Bol Bol stan?!?!

Just watching his first quarter minutes the other night told me everything I needed to know about Bol and why he isn't seeing the court. He's unplayable.

Lol I thought the part where I was saying Perk was always right was a dead giveaway my post wasn’t serious haha

In all seriousness though, I actually wonder what the plan with Bol was/is? Was there ever a plan that he would play, but once they saw him compete in practice that was quickly shelved, or was this always going to be his role on this team? It just seems like such a strange signing for him to take up a roster spot and contribute nothing.

I think it was that thirst trap YouTube video with highlights of his best plays that sold the Suns brass on signing him.

I think we signed him to be our ~ 15th man. And IMO that far down the roster, it's okay to take a long shot on a guy who has great potential but hasn't realized it yet. In practice, would we have been better just keeping Bizmack Biyombo in that roster spot? Absolutely. But I am not too upset at the front office for taking a chance there.

The problem is not Bol. The problem is that Eubanks is our backup C and that is why the Nurk on the bench minutes have been so bad. Nurk is essentially our mvp

Bol was signed because IT wanted him

[specialsauce]

Eubanks is a third string center. We need a capable backup PF/C badly

[Split T]

Eubanks has been disappointing for sure…especially lately. We probably need to run a different offense when he’s in. He is definitely not Nurkic.

You guys are all right about Eubanks.

UNLOCK Bol Bol! This is clearly the answer. How can Vogel and staff not see this?!

Yep, pretty obvious that the Suns get all their information from YouTube videos and fan message boards. Wait...then we would have drafted Haliburton. Maybe not.

I'm convinced that's true based on his friendship with Ishbia and IT's ridiculous comments about Bol's skills on TV.

Where's the Mailman when you need him to deliver?
