Oregon Basketball: 3 goals for Bol Bol for the 2018-19 season
1. Help win Pac-12 Tournament
The Arizona Wildcats have won the last two conference tournaments. They are always one of the best teams in the Pac-12 and the nation. That is mainly because they have the best talent usually in the conference.
This year the Ducks have the best recruiting class in the conference and they could make it interesting. Bol Bol will impact the conference greatly during the season. If he is able to play great the Ducks should be able to compete in the conference better than last year.
For Bol Bol, he will want to have the best season possible so winning a Pac-12 tournament is a more achievable goal than winning the NCAA tournament.
The Ducks were close as they lost in the semifinals to USC. Bol Bol could be enough to get them over the hump. He has the ability and the star power to get them over the hump.
He can play on both sides of the ball with his ability to get blocks on the defensive end and on offense play on every level on that end. That is the 3-point line, mid-range and at the rim.
Winning the Pac-12 tournament will help his draft stock greatly. For a player like Bol Bol, who the scouts may not be too sure of because of his slender physique if they see him do well in the postseason that could pay dividends for him down the road.
