Game time. Only 4.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 71 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

At 18, Bakola sits on 33, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Bakola's projected Rating — 71 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
