Having placed Bolmaro 20th on his most recent Big Board, Woo outlines the versatile intrigue that Bolmaro provides, even though it’s been primarily contained in flashes at this point:

"“An intriguing talent who blends positional size with natural creativity and improvisational playmaking, Bolmaro continues to track as a late first/early second round option who can theoretically be stashed overseas. Although he plays primarily for Barcelona’s B team, it doesn’t take a whole lot to glance at him and see the upside, particularly given how difficult it is to find and cultivate legit wing-sized playmakers. If his jumper clicks, Bolmaro could offer some real backcourt versatility. Given the limited production sample here, it’s more about his flashes of brilliance than anything else. Bolmaro needs more seasoning, but he’s an intriguing project for a team that can afford to wait.”"

Meanwhile, Bleacher Report’s Johnathan Wassermann outlined the pros and cons that surround Bolmaro’s development at this stage:

"“Pros: Bolmaro could have unsuspecting upside tied to his 6’6″ size and unique ability to create and make plays. He’s a crafty ball-handler and flashy passer who also made 1.8 threes per game and competed defensively in Spain’s LEB Silver league. Cons: He only played 13.0 minutes per game in Liga ACB and 9.2 minutes in Euroleague. His shot is a work in progress (combined 27.9 percent 3PT, 67.6 percent FT). Although an effective setup man for teammates, there are more questions about how his self-creation for scoring will translate.”"
