Those are from Dame range. A fairly athletic guy who can block shots, rebound, switch out on the perimeter and stretch the floor. So where is the down side?
Yep, I was going to write "Lillardesque" but thought that would be goin overboard. Markkanen might be over 7f but is marketed as a 4, this guy looks to be able to shoot it close to as good and seems to have all those others talents you mentioned. None of us has likely seen enough of either to make a really good guess, but based upon what I've seen I'd take Bolden without a second thought over Markanen
I picked up the following on the web from a piece on PF's:
"And a few NBA folks are intrigued by Bolden, saying he’s more productive and aggressive than he showed in college, and looks like a different player now -- someone that could go earlier than people who aren’t paying attention may think.
“That’s a kid I think people are kind of missing on,” a Western Conference executive said. “I’ve watched him intently. Serbian basketball has really taken a hit from a financial standpoint. They’re not playing in front of 20,000 people. But he’s accepted his environment. It can be a harsh place for minorities -- not from a racial type thing.
“It’s just a real different environment. It’s a big city, but it’s a slum city. People don’t smile much. Older people don’t smile because they don’t have anything. The young people think what they see on TV is what comes out of America. It puts a lot of pressure on a kid who’s different from what they think. They’re on a shoestring budget, and he’s produced.”
Said a Southwest Division executive: “he’s off the radar now and starting to gain interest … watched him live in game and practice in Belgrade -- he’s a slasher and runner -- plays inside and out and shoots the three with ease. He’s improved.”
