The 7-foot-2 center played in just nine games for Oregon before injuring his foot and missing the rest of the season. Even in that handful of contests, Bol showed off a sweet jumper. He scored at least 12 points in every game and had four double-doubles. Manute's son had 23 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in his second game in a win over Eastern Washington. The center had his best scoring game in a loss to Texas Southern, scoring 32 points to go along with 11 boards. He also used his size well on defense by recording at least three blocks in six games. On the season, Bol averaged 21.0 points on 56.1 percent shooting, 9.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocks. He also garnered a 52.0 percent success rate on three-point attempts. The second-generation basketball star played his last game on Dec. 12 and declared for the 2019 NBA Draft soon thereafter.
