Bol enters the NBA with plenty of hype, as he was the sixth-ranked high school recruit in the 2018 class. The 7-foot-2, 235-pound son of former NBA player Manute Bol, Bol appeared in nine games for Oregon last season before suffering a season-ending foot injury. © 2005-2021 CBS INTERACTIVE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Manute Bol (/ m ə ˈ n uː t ˈ b oʊ l /; October 16, 1962 – June 19, 2010) was a Sudanese-born American professional basketball player and political activist.Listed at 7 ft 6 in (2.29 m) or 7 ft 7 in (2.31 m) tall, Bol was one of the tallest players in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

On Tuesday, Bol Bol was surprisingly named a starter ahead of the Denver Nuggets’ matchup on the road versus the Brooklyn Nets. Bol was thrust into the starting lineup with Gary Harris out due to personal reasons, and the result was rather uneventful.

Bol, who was the starting small forward, recorded five points, two rebounds and one assist in a season-high 16 minutes during the 122-116 loss. Bol converted on 1-of-2 attempts from 3-point range after getting freed up near the wing.

The news of Bol starting the game came as a bit of a shock considering he had just five appearances to this point of the season, mostly in mop-up duty. He showed signs of rust — traveling twice — while he was tasked with guarding Kevin Durant on the court.

The 7-foot-2 Bol hasn’t cracked the rotation this season with the Nuggets but he could eventually have the opportunity if the team elects to change things up, as they did on Tuesday. He gives opposing teams matchup problems given his size and ability to hit outside shots, and the Nuggets could look to take advantage of that this season.
