    Bol Bol is playing well this year and I'm happy for him but when he is 4 years older than Jabari and is only now having his first NBA-caliber season.

    I'd say Bol Bol is better now, but I see Jabari being the better player in the future.

    Jabari is 19, Bol Bol is 23.

    Bol Bol was the 44th pick and was traded after 3 years by the original team.

    Bol Bol is better right now, but he's very inefficient and he's a below average defender in his 4th year.

    They're not on the same level as prospects and I fully expect Jabari to be way better than Bol Bol in 3-4 years.

    Remember early in the season when someone first asked this question and was roundly shouted down by everyone....."how can you be that STUPID!!! Jabari is MILES better than Bol!".

    Man how times change.:(

    Bol Bol has excellent ball handling skills and create his own shot

    will Jabari develop that or will be a player that needs the ball fed to him or be a spot up shooter ?

    Bol Bol has never been able to get a starting role in 4 years. Even on a bad team like Orlando he's still coming off the bench more often than not.

    I like Bol as a rotation guy you can bring in to space the floor, as long as you surround him with strong defenders. With a little more experience, Jabari will give us that same spacing and he'll also be the strong defender.

    By MILES I'm assuming you mean he's Darius MILES ahead of Bol

    Unless you mean MILES Teller, but he could work too since in Top Gun you can insinuate the skies the limit.

    Bol Bol does everything better than Jabari. Not one part of Jabari’s game will ever be better than Bol.

    Well said. If Jabari is playing like bolbol year 4, I would be disappointed. I am disappointed now but even with that, Jabari is sig better than bol bol was his first year.

    Jabari has a higher ft percentage and turns the ball over less. You said everything so all I had to do was find something

    Turns the ball over less because he dribbles MUCH LESS!
    If there was a tracking stat of say "turnovers per dribble" I'm thinking Jabari would come out at least 5 times worse than Bol!
