Celtics may have plans to keep Bol Bol

 I had not seen much of Bol Bol , and frankly that holds true for most NBA fans.

Bol has a similar frame to that of his late dad, Manute Bol , Manute was a super-slim 7'7" and 201 pounds . He was not overly athletic but came into games as a rebounder and shot-blocker. The younger Bol is listed at 7'2" and 220 pounds and presents as a more-athletic and skilled version of his dad.

Only 5.5 wins separates us from the Bulls. Make a run and get into the top 4 in the EC. Like I said the only team I fear is the Deer! That's probably because I'm biased towards my Greek brother  with whom I share not only my name but our Faith.
