Its very encouraging that he is a willing passer and seems to have some awareness of what his teammates are doing on the floor. That's an underrated skill for big men. And its something that would have to be replaced, if he took Saric's spot in the lineup.

Really looking forward to him joining the team. He reads the defense better than I thought he would, made some really smart passes in the half court.

He has such a nice stroke. His shooting as a stretch 4 would be a terrific addition. He'd be a nice fit as a much lower usage 3 and D player with the starters honestly. Allowing Dario to control the 2nd unit off the bench.

I really don't know the story on him. Is it like a Saric situation where we drafted him but he's under contract overseas?
Can he join us somehow this year?

His shot reminds me of Illysova.

No, he wont be playing this year for the 76ers. He'll play next year and start his rookie year then - there was really no room on him for the roster this year anyway and the plan was always to draft and stash. The 76ers coaching staff think he could have been a contributor this season but its really a contract/long-term cap situation.

He doesn't have to be Embiid, Simmons or Cov in the box score. Just has to be an athletic 3 and D guy that can give you 8-10 points. 6ft 10... can run defend and pass. Guys like that have an NBA future.

Man I hope the sixers keep enough capspace to sign Bolden either in 2018 or 2019 to a contract similar to what BOS gave Ojeleye would be perfect. 3 Years around 1-Mil per year plus a 4th year team option for around $2M.

If we do not keep enough capspace for him, then we will be limited to 2 cheap years as opposed to 4 cheap years.

6 to 7lbs of muscle away from being a 6'11'' RoCo , and almost as skilled in vision and passing as Ben, will be a great team player.
Why on earth they sent him to israel this year.
Would be a perfect pf for this team this season.

Don't mind the decision to keep him abroad for now.

Sign him on the cheap for 3-4 years during our contending years and he'll be a key cheap asset.

you literally described the greatest nba player in nba history ( fusion of roco and simmons). Is bolden really even close to simmons in playmaking/passing/vision?

Not in playmaking , but his vision n passing is not far behind Ben's , remember he was brought up in Aust juniors like Ben - so will always look for the best option to score - a very high end blue collar worker on both ends without being a superstar at anything (my RoCo comparison) who will do a lot of the 1% things that never show up on a stat sheet.
Also his 3 point shooting ability is just an added bonus.

We own his rights so we don’t need cap space to sign him. I don’t understand your point about 2 years vs 4 years. We could sign him for 2 or 4 years regardless of our cap situation.
