The Orlando Magic got their season started on Wednesday night and they brought out their biggest players.
Of course, everyone was paying attention to Paolo Banchero because he was playing his first official game in the league and beginning his quest for Rookie of the Year.
Meanwhile, the Magic also provided fans with other fun and exciting players to watch.
That included Bol Bol, the fan-favorite big man who has been looking to really make an impact on the NBA.
BOL BOL REGULAR SEASON NOT A BLOWOUT MINUTES
— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) October 19, 2022
Bol played for 18 minutes on Wednesday night, and these minutes weren’t found in the last few of the game or in a blowout situation.
Typically, Bol has played regular-season games when his teams were losing big.
He was known as someone who really only participated during “garbage time” but that wasn’t the case on Wednesday night.
In the end, he put up 10 points and 4 rebounds.
Bol Bol’s Time
Bol has been in the NBA since 2018 but you haven’t seen too much of him.
He has mostly been a Summer League player, where he has had moments of brilliance that have gotten the fans on their feet.
When he gets going, Bol is a lot of fun.
The 7-foot-2 power forward is slim and sometimes quite fast and obviously much taller than most of the other guys on the floor.
Sadly, his skills haven’t been consistent throughout his limited time in the league and no team has really believed in Bol beyond a few moments during the Summer League.
Now that he’s playing for a young, up-and-coming team like the Magic, Bol could finally become a reliable and regular part of the squad.
This might be his time to shine.
