New Orleans Pelicans’ shooting guard J. J. Redick is one of the most respected players in the league. A player with no obvious athletic traits, Redick has carved out a niche for himself by being a sweet-shooting glue guy. He is terrific for building chemistry and is known to have never missed the playoffs. His first year of missing the playoffs may come now if the Pelicans can’t make it out of the Western Conference. Their Western Conference [https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2020.html] opposition is absolutely fierce. They met up with one of them in the scrimmages, facing the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are playing rookie Bol Bol for the first time all season. After his promising debut [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6uPZGnslQc], Bol was also in the lineup to take the Pelicans on. His performance was strong, putting up 15 points and 2 blocks. One of the blocks came against Redick, as Bol’s freakishly long arms swatted the unsuspected Redick’s relatively open mid-range jumper.

He simply questioned how Bol could have gotten to that shot. But it’s not every day you play against a man with a 7’8 wingspan. NEW ORLEANS PELICANS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS? New Orleans Pelicans [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/usatsi_13943737-525x315.jpg] With the news of star rookie Zion Williamson returning to the bubble, the Pelicans can get ready to make their playoff push. Zion will obviously be better if he didn’t miss the practices. However, he did join the Pelicans halfway through the season and dominated. Maybe he can do the same here? The core around Zion is as strong as ever. Brandon Ingram [http://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-basketball-orlando-bubble-is-new-orleans-pelicans-star-forward-the-most-improved-nba-player-of-the-season-brandon-ingram/] will reap the benefits of his all-star season and be the primary scorer despite Zion’s presence. The perfect point guard for the looping Zion, Lonzo Ball, will also make his presence felt. The rest of the young core with vets like Redick and Jrue Holiday could mesh together well and give the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies a run for their money. They have one of the easiest schedules in the bubble and will look to stay within four games of the eighth seed and force a play-in tournament. They have as good a chance of winning that as any other team in the league, so the Pels will be the most exciting team in the playoffs this year (if they can make it).

<h2><strong>Early life</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Bol Bol was born on November 16, 1999, in Khartoum, Sudan. Being the son of an NBA legend, basketball ran in the family of Bol who went on to follow in his father’s footsteps and join the league. Bol gained traction in high school, being labeled as a five-star recruit and also earning McDonald’s All-American honors.</span>
<h2><strong>Family</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Bol Bol is the second child of Manute Bol and Ajok Kuag. In 1998, Bol Bol’s father Manute was accused of being an American spy and was barred by the Sudanese government to flee to the United States.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The family eventually made their way to America when they moved to Connecticut as designated political refugees. Though his father had played in the NBA, Bol Bol had to be encouraged by his father to pick up basketball and begin training with him in the gym.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Bol Bol was already 6’5 by the time he was in 7th grade and that is when he first got media attention from CBS Sports and the Washington Post.</span>
<h2><strong>College career</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Bol went on to attend the University of Oregon where he played under head coach Dana Altman as a freshman in 2018. Bol was considered to be one the best upcoming prospects in the NBA draft.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The 7’2 center had a few highlight games before his season came to an end due to an injury to his left foot. Prior to his injury, Bol Bol was projected as a top three or five pick in the 2019 NBA draft.</span>
<h2><strong>NBA career</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Bol Bol was drafted in the second round by the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/miami-heat/">Miami Heat</a> as the 44th pick. His injury caused him to fall down drastically in the draft. His draft rights were traded to the Denver Nuggets the same night.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">During his first year in the league, Bol Bol spent time in the G-League with the Windy City Bulls. The Sudanese center had a few games where he outshined the rest of the players and even recorded a double-double.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Bol Bol was eventually recalled by the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/denver-nuggets/">Denver Nuggets</a> and made his debut in the bubble season against the Miami Heat. He also made his playoff debut the same year but was eventually traded to the Detroit Pistons.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">That trade did not go through as Bol Bol failed the physical evaluation and had to undergo surgery on his right foot. He was listed out indefinitely for the remainder of the 2021 NBA season.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2022, Bol Bol was traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/boston-celtics/">Boston Celtics</a>. But even before playing a single game for the Celtics, Bol Bol was once again traded to the Orlando Magic. The 7’2 center went on to play the next season with the Magic.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In the 2023 offseason, Bol Bol was waived by the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/orlando-magic/">Orlando Magic</a> and picked up by the Phoenix Suns. </span>
<h2><strong>Girlfriend</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Bol Bol has been dating Mulan Hernandez since 2022. Mulan Hernandez is a model, social media influencer and entrepreneur. She is also the brand ambassador of Fashion Nova. The origin story of how the couple met is still a mystery.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Mulan Hernandez has a sizable million followers on Instagram. The 22-year-old was born in Cincinnati, Ohio but has not revealed any details about her parents to the media as of yet.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The two have had their fair share of ups and downs in their relationship with Mulan claiming that Bol Bol has not been faithful to her. However, as per reports, the couple is still together.</span>
<h2><strong>Career stats</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Regular Season Games played - 123</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Regular Season Points - 6.3 </span>

</span>
<h2><strong>Sponsorship/ambassadorship</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As of 2023, Bol Bol does not have any brand endorsements. He does not have any shares in any business ventures either. Neither does the Sudanese giant have any shoe deals with any companies. However, given the success of the newly formed Phoenix Suns team, all that might soon change.</span>

<h2><strong>Expectations</strong></h2>
