Kevin Durant says Bol Bol is doing more than what he is…..

Bol recorded a 25-14 double-double against the Houston Rockets two games ago.

PHOENIX SUNS

Phoenix Suns big man Bol Bol has been under the microscope ever since Shaquille O’Neal put him in the same sentence as Victor Wembanyama.

But while many think Bol Bol has not lived up to expectations and has not come close to the Wemby comparisons, Kevin Durant believes he is an incredible basketball player and has exceeded KD’s expectations of him in Phoenix.

“People on the outside, it’s hard for them to see,” said Durant. “But he’s been more than I expected. His intangibles, his work ethic, his IQ — all the stuff that I didn’t really think about when it comes to Bol, that’s the foundation of his game.”

Shaq said Bol Bol did first what Wemby is doing

Shaq raised eyebrows when he ‘compared’ Bol Bol to Victor Wembanyama. O’Neal later clarified his statement, saying he never compared the two but was merely stating that what Wemby is doing right now isn’t new because we’ve seen Bol do it since he entered the NBA in 2019.

If you listen to what I said, I said you guys are acting like Wemby is the first 7-foot-5 player that dribbles coast to coast, put it between his legs, and shot a three [pointer],” O’Neal said. “[Wembanyama] is not. Bol Bol is the first. I never compared the two. I just said you guys act like you’ve never seen it before, but you have. You’ve seen Bol Bol do it.”
