Welcome Jonah Bolden

More I look, more I like with Bolden.

Adriatic league is a good league, and has produced some good pro's in the NBA.

13 points 7 reb 1 stl 1 blk ...shooting 51%FG 42%3PT. Those are good #'s for a young kid playing in a competitive league.

Add in the quick twitch athletic ability/motor, size (6'10"/7'3"Wingspan) and we could have a player on our hands.

He should fit in with our system really well.

i want to see him come over this year as well.. he's already 21/22 and already played over seas a year. and played 1 year of college ball too?

could have the big men look like:

PF: Simmons, Saric, Bolden
C: Embiid, Holmes, Okafor

Twitchy as hell, good shooter, good rebounder, good defender. He ticks every box you want in a stretch four.

The only issue is I hear there's been character issues both at UCLA and with the Adriatic team.

What kind of character issues?

This guy is a steal. Wouldn't mind if we have drafted him with 25th pick.

The more I think about it, I think this guy is ought to be RoCo 2.0

He looks slightly taller than Simmons..

I like Richaun Holmes alot. I'd like to see Bolden come over first and see how he plays before cutting Richaun loose.

I also stick to what I have said previously... Bolden has the ability to be a starting stretch 4 with Dario on the bench and Richaun coming in off to the bench as the 5 behind Embiid.

C - Embiid.........Holmes.........Okafor
PF - Bolden........Saric.........Long
SF - Covington.....TLC.........Anderson
SG - Fultz..........Stauskas.........Henderson
PG - Simmons.....McConnell.........Bayless

I mean... damn. Our bench was almost our starting 5 for the last 3rd of the year.... and there is versatility there.

I have no idea what's going on anymore. A few days ago I heard Richaun Holmes saying Simmons was "7 foot" as if it was just a matter of fact but the photos just don't bear the evidence.

How tall is Brett Brown?

I'm telling you guys now - sleeper of the draft. My only concern is that he's already 21, wants to come over, and you guys don't really have room in the rotation for him, so his development might struggle.

Great to see him and Ben together though.

Foreshortening, seem about same height.

I didn't know that him and isaiah austin were both on the same team.

Full game, his shoot looks really good.

Watch on YouTube

I was actually referring to this. Simmons maybe further away from the camera,but the difference is still quite significant..

Yeah, seems it, it's tough to tell because of the legs being cut off, but it's whatever.

Let's just go with Bolden is 7'2 since Simmons is 7'0 lol.

I thought this mofo was 6'10? He looks 7'0 feet. He's a Center. I want to see him in summer league against Jared Allen or Justin Patton so I can understand why he wasn't a 1st round pick

I think that is a 4 foot speaker in the background, so Brett looks about 8'3. So it's pretty obvious that Ben is about 9'10 and Bolden is at least 10 foot.
