Despite missing the majority of the 2018-19 campaign due to a foot injury, Bol averaged over 21 points per game, 9.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in nine games. We got the opportunity to view Bol as a member of the Cal Supreme Elite AAU squad during the 2017 Nike EBYL tour. Many of the characteristics that were on display during his short stint at Oregon shined regularly on the AAU circuit. His father, the late Manute Bol, was one of the NBA’s top shot blockers during his career. While not quite as tall as his 7’7″ father, the younger Bol does contain a 7’7″ wingspan.

DraftNasty spotlight (video): Darius Garland, PG-Vanderbilt, 2019 NBA Draft preview
Despite missing the majority of his freshman campaign due to injury, Vanderbilt’s Darius Garland has a solid chance of hearing his name called in the 2019 NBA Draft’s Top 10 picks later this month. The former Brentwood Academy (TN.) and McDonald’s All-American provides deft ballhandling skills at the point guard spot. Prior to his time at Vandy, he earned his stripes playing against the likes of players such as Phoenix Suns center DeAndre Ayton and 2019 UNC signee Cole Anthony in the AAU circuit. In his five games as a Commodore, Garland averaged 16.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG and 2.6 APG. His father, Winston, spent seven seasons in the NBA after starring at Missouri State.
