5 things to watch for during Nuggets’ scrimmages
1. Bol Bol’s debut
Bol Bol has been, perhaps, the most talked about player during practice. The 7’2″ rookie center has a 7’9″ wingspan and has a skillset that’s not often seen for players at his position.
He’s a three-level scorer with a decent handle and whose size makes him a more than capable interior defender. In fact, the only negative that was spouted about Bol is that he needs to hit the weight room. However, with his length, he’s able to negate some of the effects of his lack of strength.
Bol hasn’t been the picture of health as he suffered a stress fracture during his first and final collegiate season and only played 9 games in the 2019-20 season (in the NBA G League). Yet, he seems poised to make his Nuggets debut during these scrimmages as the team is currently undermanned.
If he plays well enough, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him play in Denver’s seeding games either.
