Well Bol is an elite offensive player from the perimeter combined with that size/length defensively and can be used at the 3 with his dribble drive,& the 4 easy in a Beilein offense. The 5 is another story with that super thin frame where he would struggle to establish position, but taking him to be a center seems unlikely for most teams given it would take away from his offensive skillset so the only questions regarding him are his health and desire and if those things are considered non issues by teams in the lottery, he still could go as high as 3 to New Orleans in a AD trade with NY. Granted it was a small window but in his short stint of playing in college the only 1 and done player with better PER was Zion.
The only reason Bol is not considered a top 5 pick is the medias expectation he will have injury issues, due to lack of info updates.I highly doubt teams with medical access feel the same and certainly would not be sharing positive info about him.
Bol is not going in the top 5 no matter what his medicals say. He still is a 7footer with the navicular fracture and not a lot of actual game time.
