The video is concerning in terms of his knee. Very awkward buckling potential.

Yeah man but if you don't see Bol's knee angle there, you're not looking. Grant just slipped. But that is how Bol runs. It's precarious. I like Bol a lot. Had him 15 on my board. Just hope he stays healthy.

Agreed... we all know he's always going to have the injury question - even if he plays 82 games a season (which he won't). But Grant slipped in part because he was burned by Bol.

Never said otherwise. My comment literally had nothing to do with his skill level, but his biomechanics.

In a real game and not a scrimmage, that first dribble past the 3pt line would have been stolen

I remember watching a lot of film on him as he was in contention for my Pistons with the 15th pick in the draft last year. And then when he was still on the board at 30 (which we ended up trading for second rounders) I was really hoping we would take him or KPJ. Instead we ended up with Deividas Sirvydis who most likely won't ever play meaningful minutes in the NBA. Sigh.
