Bol Bol got off to a rousing start for his new squad. After three seldomly-used seasons with the Denver Nuggets, Bol unlocks something special in his fourth game with the Orlando Magic — showing off his athleticism with some slick handles and an agile spin move while being guarded by Julius Randle. Bol uses the length of his 7-foot-2 frame to beat his defender in space before finishing with a short floater in the paint. The young center with a unique skill set seems comfortable in his new home, converting 8 of 10 field goals for 19 points while grabbing five rebounds and blocking four shots against the New York Knicks on October 24, 2022.

Bol Bol spins and eurosteps way into the paint for tough bucket

When Bol Bol has a basketball in his hands, get your popcorn ready. The unique-as-they-come big man has been a revelation this season for the Orlando Magic’s young and energetic squad. Against the Atlanta Hawks, the 7-foot-2 Bol decides to play 1-on-5 after grabbing a defensive board, spinning his way around a helpless DeAndre Hunter before driving through the teeth of the defense and finishing with a monster slam. Bol’s coast-to-coast heroics sent the Magic bench and fans alike into a frenzy, as his 21 points, seven rebounds and two assists helped deliver Orlando’s first four-game win streak since the 2020-21 season — a 135-124 decision on December 14, 2022.

With Bol Bol’s 7-foot-2 frame and 7-foot-8 wingspan, it’s theoretically not a sound strategy to post-up against him. Trey Burke learns that the hard way as his entry pass is whacked away, leading to a three-on-two fastbreak that the Denver Nuggets big caps off with an alley-oop finish. Bol's squad cruised to a 106-75 triumph over the Dallas Mavericks on October 31st, 2021.

After a slow start to the 2022-23 season, the Orlando Magic turned to a fresh face with a unique basketball arsenal to help stop the bleeding. After three seasons with the Denver Nuggets where he was used sparingly, Bol Bol has been unleashed as an important part of the Magic’s present and future. Against the Charlotte Hornets, the spindly 7-foot-2 center catches a pass in the corner and puts the ball on the floor, exhibiting an impressive handle before letting his otherworldly frame do the rest as he launches himself toward the rim and throws down a ferocious slam. Bol’s impact has increased with more playing time, as he contributed 11 points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes in Orlando’s 113-93 win on October 28, 2022.

Bol Bol drives baseline for poster dunk through help-side challenger

Bol Bol’s short memory and insane wingspan allowed him to one-up Tobias Harris. After Harris’ strong defense caused Bol to misfire and tumble to the floor on the offensive end, the Orlando Magic center quickly course corrected as he raced the entire length of the floor and flew into the frame on defense to turn a seemingly open Harris 3-pointer into a highlight-reel rejection. Bol used every bit of his 7-foot-2 frame to record one of his game-high four blocks while mixing in 14 points, eight rebounds and two assists against the Philadelphia 76ers on November 25, 2022.

Nobody changes the geometry of a Las Vegas Summer League matchup quite like Bol Bol. The 21-year-old Denver Nuggets standout drops patiently into help-side position as Boston Celtics guard Yam Madar penetrates at the perimeter, then pounces to swat the ensuing floater attempt out to half court. Bol finished the August 10, 2021 tilt with 26 points and nine rebounds in addition to the otherworldly rim protection.

There aren’t many 7-foot-2 players who can dribble the length of the court like a point guard — then again, there aren’t many players like Bol Bol, period. Rather than deferring to another ball handler, the Orlando Magic’s electric young unicorn grabs a defensive rebound and is immediately on the move. The fourth-year pro traverses the length of the court in just four dribbles, culminating the play with a vicious one-handed dunk that the Toronto Raptors are helpless to stop. The Magic lost the game but the team is undoubtedly delighted with the emergence of Bol, who connected on seven of his eight field goal attempts for 18 points while also grabbing seven rebounds on December 3, 2022.
