Paolo Banchero thinks Bol Bol is overlooked because of Victor Wembanyama

Victor Wembanyama has been the talk of the basketball world for the past year or so thanks to his skills on the court. Wembanyama is the most intriguing prospect in the 2023 draft due to his size and potential to be a powerful force in the paint. Victor is a towering presence on the court at 7 feet 4 inches, and his abilities and potential are expected to help make him a top performer in the NBA. Despite all these, Paolo Banchero doesn’t buy into the Victor Wembanyama hype even though he is expected to be selected first overall in the 2023 NBA Draft.

Paolo Banchero the first overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft thinks that Victor Wembanyama is overhyped and his team-mate Bol Bol has the same aspects that everyone says Wemby has. In an interview with HoopsHype, Bol Bol was praised by Paolo Banchero, who likened the young centre’s adaptability as well as the manner of play to Victor Wembanyama’s.
Banchero says, “Everyone talks about the Victor dude from France. I’m not trying to compare them, but Bol’s 7-foot-2 shoots threes brings it up the court, makes passes, and blocks shots. I feel like people kind of forget about him, but Bol’s a freak of nature.”

Banchero, who is renowned for his exceptional court vision and all-around game, thinks Bol’s special skill set and potential render him an invaluable asset to the Orlando Magic. Bol Bol, who is averaging 11.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 12 games this season, while shooting 67.5 per cent from the field on 6.7 shots per game playing for Orlando Magic according to RotoWire, struggled to secure regular playing time with the Denver Nuggets. He has been constrained by injuries despite his enormous size and potential, but lately, he has been establishing himself in the Orlando Magic lineup.

Bol has displayed flashes of splendour which have left adherents and experts in awe despite his limited time on the court, to the point where Paolo Banchero chose to ignore Victor Wembanyama in favour of Bol.

As much as Banchero recognises Bol Bol’s talent, it’s probably not a good idea to overlook Wemby as he prepares to get into the NBA. It is impossible to deny his impressive abilities and potential. He has the size and athleticism to have a significant impact in the NBA and is a dominant force on the court. Wembanyama, who has an 8-foot wingspan and a height of 7’4″, clearly poses a threat to all NBA players, including Banchero and that’s a fact.

Ultimately, we will be on the watch out for a matchup between the 2022 NBA draft number 1 and the 2023 NBA draft number 1 coming into fruition in their respective teams. We will then find out if it is fair to compare the two towering athletes(Victor Wembanyama and Bol Bol) or if they uniquely represent their selves.
