Nope. Bol looked incredible in his highlight reel in his short tenure in the college ranks. I'm not saying he's as good a prospect as Bagley but he certainly looks incredible. And he might just be if he can stay healthy.
If you watch that video closely, you'll see that he has that quick 2nd jump similar to Bagley. Not as quick, but above average. I would suggest that if you watched DeAndre Ayton play last season in his first 9 games, and compared it to Bol Bol's first nine games, you'd come away thinking that Bol Bol was the better player. The only thing superior by Ayton is his body. Bol's instinctive reaction time is also very similar to Bagleys. Meaning he makes decisions on the floor quickly and instinctively, which usually doesn't give defenders time to react.
Now, one has to remember that while he looked like a man among'st boys, he was for the most part being guarded by players much shorter than him. It would have been nice to see him go up against some players more his own size. But hey, he did what he was supposed to do, dominate the smaller players. That's something Ayton didn't do at times, which bothered me.
Everyone got excited last year about Bamba's ability to shoot the three last season, but he only took 1.7 attempts a game, and shot 27.5%. How about Ayton, who took 1 attempt a game and shot a respectable 34.3%. But both men's stats pale when compared to Bol Bol's. He took just a tick under 3 attempts a game and shot a blistering 52% from the three.
I'm not sure how good Bol will be, but there's certainly something there worth pursuing. I think if Bol had Ayton's body, and hadn't gotten injured, he would be battling Zion for the 1st pick in the draft. But as my great aunt used to say, "if" is for children!
Here's another video of Bol Bol which is redundit for the most part, but has some plays that show his ballhandling and passing a bit more.
