The Leandro Bolmaro thread

[rulas95]

As I have said on other occasions, I am Spanish and a Barcelona supporter (I usually watch almost all their matches).

Bolmaro's evolution this year with Jasikevicius is being huge, a shame that last year he was with Pesic (Thibodeu Euroleague coach).
Its main evolution is being in the shot, especially in the triple.
His defense is elite, from now on, with his intensity and size he will make a difference.

I wasn't very optimistic in the summer, but to this day I have few doubts.

What I am not clear about is whether another year in Europe would be better (it would also have a more important role) or to bring it now.

Can you please give some comparisons to current NBA players for things like handle, defensive ability, shooting preferences (pull ups, catch and shoot, pick and pop, ect...) Also is he more of a guard or a wing?

Bufff being in formation as he is is difficult to say, but come on, I will try.

Regarding the defense, which as I say is his strong point, I remember Paul George a lot (with a lot of wingspan), although he still needs to gain some muscle mass but he is a very tall guy to be a point guard.

His handling of the ball is good, although I can still polish it more, in that aspect today he is quite similar to Satoransky (Bolmaro has room for improvement).

Regarding shooting, I can't be very specific because his progression this year is being spectacular, but the sample we have is small, he loves to play pick and pop, for example, he does it a lot both with Smits, and now with Pau when they coincide, and then it is not a bad thing to penetrate, although there it has to progress further.

For me he is a clear guard, not a wing. It can be complemented VERY WELL with Dlo.


I have used the traductor, excuse me for the spelling mistakes.

I think Satoransky is probably a decent player comp overall.

Thank you for posting. It's great to get information from fellow Wolves fans that have watched him play.

Thank you for the scouting report. Sounds like he could possibly be the type of player we were hoping Culver would develop into.

And this is where I caution Wolves fans, although he’s a very good prospect, he’s only playing about 8 minutes per game in Euroleague (a little more in the Spanish league) for Barcelona. Barcelona is traditionally one of the better teams in Europe I believe.

Rubio was only getting 23 mpg when we brought him over, for reference. I think Bolmaro is about a year younger than Rubio was when we brought him over.

Thanks, rulas...I really appreciate you taking the time to provide your insight on Bolmaro!

I have accepted that Rosas drafted Bolmaro because he planned on losing our pick this year and Bolmaro being our 1st rounder.

That's really not the way you should draft.

[winforlose]

I disagree. Rosas was given a mandate to stay below the tax to avoid repeater issues. Drafting and stashing was the most effective way to accomplish this.

[_AIJ_]

His point is pretty much, if he have no pick this year, at least we have a rookie in Bomaro

That's probably part of it as well. There is no doubt though that the plan this year, assuming health, was to try and compete for a play-in spot at minimum. It's hard to find rotation spots for 3 rookies at once. It makes sense for multiple reasons to stash Bolmaro, one of those reasons being that you have a wing prospect that you can bring to the team if you lose your draft pick this year.

[KGdaBom]

I love hearing glowing reports on Bolmaroooooooooooooooo.
I was a big fan of us drafting him and then we still got McDaniel later. WOW. Great Draft.

Doesn't he play SG?

The team's stocked at that position -- Russell, Beasley, Edwards and Nowell. At some point, a trade will have to happen.

Unless there's a trade, I wonder whether playing another year in Europe might be better. He's only playing a few minutes a game over there now but would probably see a bigger role next year for one of the better teams in Europe. Here, I just don't see him playing much with Rubio, Russell, JMac, Beasley, and Edwards around to soak up the guard minutes. Even if one of those guys is moved and JMac is retained, what kind of role would he have?

[Worm Guts]

Bolmaro is 6’6 or 6’7. He could probably play some 3.

Bolmaro is essentially what we wanted Jarett Culver to be

[Klomp]

Ah yes, the crowd that believes a team must have 1 PG, 1 SG, 1 SF, 1 PF and 1 C on the floor at all times has arrived.....

[Rookie-Mistake]

Surely this stamps Culvers papers..
