Player Marques Bolden

Gonna need one for Quade.

 

[Pantone287]

Best player

He's fucking huge

 

[rhfarmer]

Ya, he looks as big as Okafor, but seems like he has real easy lift.

 

[Pantone287]

Physically, I think he's clearly a better prospect than Okafor (2" higher standing reach, slightly taller, same wingspan, slightly less strong/fat, looks like a much better athlete). It kind of comes down to whether you think Okafor's team-hurting post offense offsets all that...

It's going to be so fun to have the biggest, scariest person on the court in every game... and have him basically be an afterthought.

For all 40 minutes. Chase Jeter is not small, either.



Keep in mind that Giles measured 6'10.75" in shoes at the hoop summit this year.

I doubt it will ever make sense to take Amile out enough to see this, but a lineup of Tatum/Allen/(Jones/Jackson)/Giles/Bolden would give me a serious rippling back muscle-gasm. Play a 3-2 with Tatum at the top, run Tatum/Giles PnR with shooters on the wings and Bolden dunking things on the baseline. Such lust.

I'm hoping we blow teams out enough to just run Jeter-Bolden for the entire second half.

Kennedy Meeks has taken note of this post, and vows to make sure he is the biggest person on the court when we meet and an even bigger afterthought.

Chase looks great. Very encouraging.

 

[DurhamSon]

Magic Bolden.


Good thing the staff didn't listen to Pantone when he said he didn't want him, heh.

Basically, "he's huge and can do things no one else can do in college, but he doesn't GAF, so he doesn't rebound or defend well for his size or position." Dammit. Just rebound.

 

[torontoduke]

Can he play point guard?

 

[Pantone287]

About halfway through the second half, and goddamn he looks good. Lottery pick.

Ideal trajectory is to have some flashes and some invisible stretches over the first few months, then have the light come on consistently and take things to the next level sometime during ACC play.

 

[bdotling]

Glad to see you finally acknowledge how good he is Pants. It's about time

 

[DukeNukem05]

Took him half a fake game.

 

[deepdarkblue]

We have Jeter, Bolden is a luxury.

Luxuries are nice to have. Not long ago, indoor plumbing, electricity, automobiles were all considered luxuries. So with that in mind, Bolden would be like a toilet with a heated seat and touchless flush, and Jeter is more of an old outhouse with a Sears catalog for wiping.

Got the night off for some much needed rest.

Coach K is terrible at making shit up.

 

[rome8180]

You don't believe K has gone full-on Popovich?
