He reminds me of a basketball version of Nick Kyrgios with his appearance and mannerisms (slouching) on court. Bolden looks to be a decent 2nd unit player in the future.
Oh god, don't say that I'm a big Kyrgios hater but I can't deny that similarity.
I actually wouldn't put that limitation on Jonah though, I think he has starter potential. Just such a good defensive player, can play both front-court positions and maybe even a bit of SF if he slimmed down and worked on his handle, great shooter and overall shot maker, good touch inside, really good athleticism, great passer and unselfish/high IQ player. Just has so many boxes ticked imo.
It's just hard because you guys are so deep.
I'm a little sad he isn't in the roster right now. I just imagine a "small ball" line up of Holmes at the 5, Bolden at the 4, Covington at the 3, Fultz at the 2 and Simmons at the 1. That size, agility and length would be insane.
