A DEAL that could finally pave the way for Bol Bol, a former NBA player and son of 7-7 beanpole Manute Bol, to play in the PBA wearing the TNT Tropang 5G uniform could be signed in the next two days. Sources told SPIN.ph that TNT management and Bol's camp are putting the finishing touches to a deal that could see the 7-3 Sudanese-American suit up in the coming Commissioner’s Cup, where there are no height restrictions for imports.

Tim Hardaway: I tell you this: I think Bol Bol has the same abilities as Victor Wembanyama. I think Bol just hasn’t had the opportunity to show it, for whatever reason. But I see the same athletic ability in Bol that Wemby has. I don’t know if it’s confidence. I don’t know if the team isn’t giving him confidence. I don’t know if people just aren’t giving him the ball. But I tell you this—I’m always in Bol Bol’s corner because I see the potential in him and what he can do. It’s just that I don’t think he’s been given the right opportunity to go out there and prove himself like Victor has. You look at Wemby—he’s 7’5”, shooting one-legged runners from beyond the three-point line. Bol can do that too.
