my guess: "the cat will be out of the bag" means Gary Harris isn't gonna show in Orlando, and Bol Bol is gonna get some actual burn in the scrimmages.

Monte Morris had a Birthday party with Harris, MPJ, Dozier and Craig confirmed in attendance, a little over a week before the team flew to Orlando. No masks were worn, the house was packed.
Explains why more than half the team isn't in Orlando

Such a blessing in disguise that, with so many teammates out, Bol Bol is getting quality time with Jokic; as well as giving Malone long periods to figure out his best strengths.
God, it would be so cool if Bol Bol was in the playoff rotation.
Regarding his draft position, when he was at Oregon, Bol Bol LIT UP Top 25 teams. He was unstoppable. I have ZERO clue how he went past pick 10, really. In addition, any team that takes him in the lottery immediately has something exciting to market to their fans.
Well done to TC. Completely STOLE MPJ and Bol.

I get Bol falling out of the lottery. Plenty of guys picked in the teens who maybe don't have the same upside but are very likely to be solid rotation players going forward. Like Nickeil Alexander-Walker played 67 games for Virginia Tech, solid shooter, generally good on-court habits, young enough that you figure he's gonna have some developmental room going forward, so even though he sucked as a rookie there's a pretty good chance he becomes a serviceable rotation player with a couple years of experience. You're trading one sort of risk (might not develop) for another (might never play) -- at 17 I get why that could be a hard choice for a GM.
But eventually the upside is just too good. I think that shoulda happened for sure by the early 20s. Bol dropping to 44 was a total shock.

God, it would be so cool if Bol Bol was in the playoff rotation. That seems unrealistic, given he hasn't played competitive basketball in nearly two years. But I'm excited about his future potential because of his rare combination of size and skill. IMO, to be a "blessing in disguise" it's too many guys out -- way out -- two weeks before the season restarts . It sounds like it could easily be another week for some of them (think about how long it took Jokic after the event in Serbia when he got infected), then they have to quarantine away from the team for two days, more negative tests etc. The backcourt is a major problem with only three available guards getting back in game shape and rhythm. If the "guys out" was more balanced it wouldn't be so bad, but the lack of guards is a problem.
