Hes not going to cost much and havent seen what he can do. Might as well give him a look. Hes been on the bench for most of the 2nd season, cheering our guys. I dont see any evidence of bad locker room personality

This video puts lot of context of Bol, really nice backstory but also... pointing out Bol doesn't really like basketball all that much and everybody near him questioned his work ethic and desire to play sport in general.

And as for playing, he tends to make stupid errors, mentally isn't locked, on offense likes to take awful shot ( tunnel vision ) , on defense he lacks strenght but again, mental errors are worst.

Look videos toward end of a video to see why he never played ( real reasons why he never played)

The Magic might make him a Qualifying Offer but I would not be surprised if they did not.

I think it is a toss up but offer no more than the one-year QO.

Having him on the bench did allow The Magic to get to know him and if he'd fit in with personality wise with this team.
