Oregon Basketball Recruit Bol Bol puts talents on display for Team USA at Nike Hoop Summit on Friday.
Despite a big performance by the future Oregon Duck, Team USA lost the game to World Select but not before Bol Bol flirted with a triple-double sending Twitter into a flurry of excitement about the future Oregon Duck.
Bol was a beast blocking shots in the first quarter and showing his shooting prowess from both inside and outside the three-point line. He had 12 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 blocks. Three blocks came consecutively on the same Team Select possession sending the crowd at the Moda Center that included Dillon Brooks to their feet.
The son of Manute Bol showed that he is comfortable with the spotlight squarely on his shoulders. He did his best to effort Team USA to a win, but they lost 89-76. Bol Bol struggled a bit with his inside shot, but with some help could be a solid Offensive Threat as well as Defensive when he comes to Eugene next season.
Another Oregon Commit, Louis King did not participate in the Nike Hoop Summit due to a leg injury. The Ducks are set to host a big recruit in Brandon Williams and both Bol and King will be in Eugene as part of the cheering team for him to join them according to Andrew Nemek from the Oregonian.
