Perhaps not a player who is being hyped as a 1st round in 2018, but has all the tools. The German is more on the skinnier side being 5'11" and a heavy 160 lbs, but is around Leon Draisaitl's pace in the same league against better competition. For instance, Draisaitl posted 1.37 PPG in the U18 DNL junior league, while Bokk currently is at 1.28 PPG in the U19 DNL junior league. Both of these statistics happen at each of their 16 year old seasons. Bokk also has been recalled by the senior team to at least practice with them if he isn't going to get game time (which rarely happens for 16 year olds).
What Bokk has, to make up for his lack of physicality is superb skating ability and wicked shot. A shot which might not have the heaviness, but an extremely fast release which catches goalers by surprise. Additionally, people have been saying he contains a good amount of vision as well, but it might be more for scoring (IE IQ in getting into shooting lanes, vision for opening on goaltender, etc). Not saying he will be around Draisaitl's talent level since every player goes through his own progression.However, he could be a hidden gem who has a lot of tools which could make him rise into the 1st round in the future.
