Suns' Bol Bol better than Spurs' Victor Wembanyama? Tim Hardaway Sr. slammed for take
The Phoenix Suns evidently got a huge steal in free agency with the signing of Bol Bol, according to former NBA star Tim Hardaway Sr.
After all, Bol is better right now than No. 1 overall NBA draft pick Victor Wembanyama, the former NBA star turned analyst said.
Wait, what?
“And I think he's better than Victor, or whatever his name is,” Hardaway said on The Carton Show on FS1. “Yes, Bol Bol has better physical talent and ready to play in the NBA right now than Victor is.”

Tim Hardaway's Bol Bol - Victory Wembanyama take was certainly a controversial one:
Bol is a career 6.3-point scorer in his four seasons in the NBA. He averaged 9.1 points per game with the Orlando Magic last season.
Wembanyama, who the Spurs took with the first pick in the NBA draft, is seen by many as a generational talent. He averaged 21.6 points per game, with 10.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocker per game playing in France last season.
