Bol Bol is the 5-star recruit carrying a famous name and a tantalizing game

Posted May 6, 2017
There is only one teenage player here who needs no introduction. He is immediately recognizable. Rail thin with impossibly long limbs, sharp cheekbones, high hips, and the early signs of dreadlocks. It’s hard to tell whether his short shorts are a conscious choice or the simple reality of being this tall and likely still growing. This is Bol Bol, a 7’2 center in the class of 2018 and son of Manute Bol. (SB Nation)
