        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s the ultimate sign of respect.</p><p>Bol Bol put on a show in the NBA Bubble, recording 16 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks in the Nuggets&#8217; 89-82 exhibition win over the Wizards Wednesday. He hit two 3-pointers in the process, utilizing his versatility to play various positions throughout the game.</p><p>The performance immediately prompted a “random” drug test for the 7-foot-2 rookie.</p><p>“I’ve been working really hard, especially since I got here in the bubble,” Bol told reporters after the game. “I was just trying not to be nervous, and then everything would just come to me.”</p><figure id="attachment_16024817"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/bol-bol.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/bol-bol.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/bol-bol.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Bol Bol</span><span class="credit">Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure><p>The son of former NBA center Manute Bol, Bol Bol was once considered a top prospect ahead of the 2019 NBA draft. Left foot surgery derailed his season at Oregon, however, causing him to slide to the 44th pick.</p><p>The surgery has kept Bol on the sideline for the entirety of his rookie campaign to this point. His standout performance on Wednesday was his NBA debut.</p><p>Nuggets coach Michael Malone hopes there will be more “random” drug test-type performances to come.</p><p>“I can’t teach 7-[foot]-2. I can’t teach a 7-[foot]-9 wingspan, and I sure as hell can’t teach a really soft touch all the way out to the NBA 3-points line,” Malone told reporters after the game. “So, he’s only going to get better as he gets stronger.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
