He's big but that's about it. Really too slow to play in the ACC. Wouldn't have gotten many minutes here as well.
8 points, 4 rebounds tonight.
Would take him over Hump and Tainin a heartbeat

Had a big second half, but largely due to Miami's incompetence. He's slow and awkward with the ball.
lmao..he is waaaaaaaay better than Humphires,,not close..Bolden is long and will be a player next year, hump won't...Humphires is 7' and plays like he's 6'5

Bolden scored all his points on wide open putback dunks. He TRIED to shoot and shot an airball layup. Yeah that's right, an airball layup. Hump is much better
I think a lot of players qho maybe don't look so good would do a lot better under Cal. He just has this way of working with players that seems to get the best out of them
that they are capable of. Just my opinion.

Yeah Hump had 6pts and 4 rebounds in 10 minutes. With 2 blocks and 1 TO. Throw him out...
Bolden did his work in 23 minutes...
Just as a comparison (to be fair)
I know I post this almost time there's a discussion about an underwhelming freshman:
He should've gone to uk.
It's that simple. If you're offered, you play at UK. Stats don't lie.

Nope. Based on talent and the very little I have seen Hump ever do. No idea why some seem to be so enameled with him. Mediocre player at his best. At least with Bolden there could be the chance of talent shining through at some point.
I believe you are right. I think some are underselling Bolden. Coach K, despite what ESPN and other media types say, isn't Cal when it comes to working with the elite young guys. I, too, think Bolden would have been a hell of a player under Cal. Not saying he would be some super star right now but much better than he is at Duke. Cal has the record to back that up, with only a few misses.

Enameled? I personally am not "enamored' with Hump but I give you the Texas A&M game last year when he had 12 rebounds off the bench as an example why I like him. He has a nose for the ball. Even had a couple of blocks tonight. Bolden doesn't appear to have the same work ethic or at least it he hasn't the games I've seen him play.
Frankly I'm glad puke got bolden. It is looking like he will be back for his second year which hurts their chances with bamba. I'll take that
Those who are saying that hump or even Tai are better than him are just extremely biased. I take him over both of them easily Cal would've made him a starter by now putting up eight points and eight rebounds a game
Who's spot would he be taking? Or are you going to start 6?
I see Jared Allen had 22 & 19 against Kansas.
Easily? Ha. No. Neither hump or bolden have looked very good this year. They were both overhyped in the preseason.
Hump is more likely to stick around until he's good enough to help you accomplish something though so I'd take him over Bolden. Bolden is soft, slow and has a crazy, overbearing mother to deal with. Hump hasn't been great this year but at the very least he plays with a mean streak and appears to be a much more fluid athlete than Bolden.
I think it's hilarious that people are labeling this a breakout game for Bolden. Humphries has had several similar games in his career already, including today's game against a better opponent than what Duke was against.
Pretty sure he meant Bolden at the 5 and Bam at the 4. WG off the bench.
I'd take Bolden everyday and twice on sundays over Hump and Tai. He'd be better by default. Hell I'd take Bolden with two broken legs over Hump.

I watched a little of the Duke game, and what I saw for the first time was an energetic Bolden instead of a guy sulking on the bench. I also saw a statement made by Capel that he's playing Bolden over Capel going forward and Bolden responded with a decent performance.
If Bolden keeps it up, who knows - he may work his way back into the draft. Or maybe next game he'll suck - we'll see.
How many times has Willis had a "breakout" game and we thought he'd finally figured it out? A week ago, Briscoe had played several great games in a row and I thought he was going to be our rock going forward - then yesterday he plays the worst game of his career at UK. Two weeks ago, fans were ready to give up on Gabriel, today he's back to being a potential lottery pick.

If it were an either or situation (which it wasn't), I would be glad UK got SKJ instead of Bolden. Both have some developing to do, but I think SKJ looks to have the more versatile skills and upside. One is strictly a 5, and the other has skills and mobility to play both the 4 and 5.
