Knicks · Found these youtube videos on the current situation of Bol Bol and Ben Simmons (page 1)

I wanted Bol Bol

Never wanted Simmons nothing new discovered in the video.

Bol you bring him here he brings energy off the bench, blocks shots and rebounds, he can even shoot from 3 and the perimeter. Hart needs to get another surgery and eventually will we need another body for the rotation. Also provides depth for the inevitable Mitch and Huk injuries.

Simmons I understand why Rose had interest but the guy is mentally checked out of basketball.

Bol Bol was not even in anyones camp this preseason?
Rumor was he was going to be in Charlotte but its has not been confirmed. This from AI inquiry.
WE all see the potential but it does not persist due to injury or attitude? Phx was as shit show last year and his actions so awful to end a career? Maybe other factors to his attitude or drive that is not adding up.

Seems like such an obvious fit with Bol Bol to NY. He fills many of the needs, it has to be something other than basketball.

Like in 6 seasons he has played only 200 games?
70 of it came in one of them. He basically has had one good season playig 21 min a game a few years ago. Thats it.
That he is 7'4 and weighs 220 lbs?
Often injured since college, and recall he played a hand full of games early against weak comp.
He was the 44th pick based on potential.
There is nothing (in my opinion) obvious that he is a good fit if you look beyond video complation of good plays and think he can sustain that. He is still young but look at his body/build/level of athletic ability. I give him credit for the fundamentals and foot work given that body. He blocks shots with that insane wingspan but there is more to defense that just that.
This kid on his way back to the NBA? Is it more than just hoop? Good question. As fans were should be asking such questions, not making assumptions when the facts are so varied.

He didn’t get along with the coach and players in phoenix last season to the point there was an incident last season in which the team got into a brawl and bol not only didn’t join the fight he was off to the side practicing layups while his teammates were fighting.(tape is actually kinda funny) Budenholzer benched him rest of the year.

No one is saying he’s going to come here and become prime Kevin Durant. We need shot blocking, rebounding and spacing off the bench. Josh Hart is completely ineffective right now and literally cannot shoot at all and it isn’t just a slump he is weeks away from giving up and getting surgery. Mitch and Huk are both in between injuries. Now I’ll wait for 97 paragraph rebuttal about how I can’t have an opinion about Josh Hart being putrid because I’m not his orthopedic surgeon with access to his X-Ray images

Yeah, that is what is in the YouTube video, him not joining in the fray. The coach benched him after that. It comes off as petty, especially cause he was contributing.
