Draft day fallers, draft day risers
was the theme for the 2016 NLL draft leading up to the NLL occasion the #54
pick was always going to be a complete mystery. The plan to get a stash player or
trade for GM and walk away smiling with our two earlier picks.
Never did we think a talent like Joel Bolomboy
would still be on the boards, initially assuming the Weber state prospect would
go in the 30 – 40 region.
Some draft analysis having him as a
late 1st round prospect, particularly after a spectacular draft
combine showing, of the 61 players taking part, Joel was a standout
·
2nd
Max Vertical (40.5â€)
·
2nd
Standing Vertical (37.5)
·
6th
¾ Court Sprint
·
1st
Lane Agility
·
7th
Shuttle Run
·
1st
Bench Press
Joel also measured the 2nd
largest hands in the draft, only behind Utah’s Jakob Poeltl. Combine all that
with a 6’9 height 235lb frame and a 7’2 wingspan and Joel is a supreme run and
jump athlete.
All that however doesn’t matter if he can’t
shoot right?
During his senior season at Weber state
he managed to average a very respectable
·
17.1 points
·
12.6 boards
·
1.2 blocks
·
1.1 assists
Shooting an average of two three point
shots per game Joel averaged 36% from deep and 57% from the field overall
Joel holds the all-time rebounding record
in the big sky conference while sitting as the 6th greatest overall rebounder
in NCAA history
All this for a guy that was born in the
Ukraine, and only started basketball at the age of 13.
ESPN draft analyst Jay Bilas liked the Jazz selection of Bolomboy, who
Bilas considers "one of the two or three best rebounders in the
country."
"You don't often see a guy with that size that's that agile,"
Bilas said Thursday night. "He has a 40-inch vertical leap, he can make a face
up shot, and the thing scouts really like about him is he can rebound! — He can
get you extra possessions."
In 2006 the Utah Jazz selected with the
47th overall pick a gentleman by the name of Paul Millsap who was
thought of as an offensive limited athletic rebounder that played in a weak
conference...
One never knows……………..
