Bol Bol was far and away the highest-rated recruit to sign with a Pac-12 school in the 2018 recruiting class. Teammate Louis King was second 15 spots behind him in 247Sports rankings.

So far, he's playing like the league's best player.

Nine games into his collegiate career with the Ducks, and the 7-foot-2 center is putting up monster numbers. It's not just that, but Bol is dominating in a variety of ways that the Pac-12 has rarely seen before. Bol ranks third in the conference in scoring (21.0 points per game), fifth in rebounding (9.6), second in blocked shots (2.7), eighth in field goal percentage (56.1-percent) and fifth in 3-point percentage (52.0-percent).

With a resume like that, Bol will certainly be a candidate for the Pac-12's Player of the Year award later this year. In fact, it's hard to argue that he's not the favorite right now.

It's not exactly common for one player to thrive in each of those areas. Many big men can score, rebound block shots and convert baskets around the rim at a high clip, but few are capable of striking from distance this effectively too.

The closest Oregon player in recent memory is former Duck Chris Boucher. But even in his best season, Boucher averaged just 12.1 points, grabbed 7.4 rebounds and shot 35.0-percent from three. None of those stats were good enough for top 10 in the conference. His field goal percentage (53.9-percent) and shot blocking (2.9) were.

Bol is playing his best basketball right now. He scored 21 points, grabbed nine boards, blocked four shots and hit two of his three shots from distance in Wednesday's win over San Diego. His last five games he's scored 23.3 points per game, grabbed 9.2 rebounds, blocked 2.2 shots while making 60.2-percent of his shots attempts and 57.2-percent from behind the 3-point line.

Oregon's win over San Diego moved them up the NET rankings. The Ducks began the day ranked 58th in the NCAA's new metric, but leapt 14 spots to 44 after beating the Toreros. USD was ranked 49th entering the game.

Oregon will host Boise State on Saturday at Matthew Knight Arena.
