Bol Bol was selected with the 44th overall pick by the Miami Heat in this year's draft before being quickly traded to the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets have finally announced that the teenager has penned a two-year deal with the organization:

The Denver Nuggets have signed rookie center Bol Bol to a two-way contract, President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly announced today.

Bol Bol was initially projected as a top 5 draft pick but fell down the order after playing just nine games for the University of Oregon. While Bol Bol struggled with a foot injury, he managed to average an impressive 21.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks during his limited time on the court. His contract has $50,000 guaranteed for each season, and Bol Bol will divide his time between the G League and the Nuggets.
