BRONNY JAMES IS A LAKER?

[High quality poster]

So y'all went from Jrue comps to "High Level" Role players, for a lotto pick

That’s cause he isn’t a lotto pick. He’s a second round pick at best.

Breh scored 7 in clutch time of a close game with elite talent on the floor, played defense and got boards. I don't even think he's a lotto pick but the hate just cause of his name is goofy.

11 points, 4 rebounds (including the one that sealed the game), 1 block, 1 steal. Came off the bench but closed the game.

In 21 mins

Not bad at all

Class is weak enough where a Caruso type would go top 15. At least thats what some draft people are guessing. The "elite" guards outside of Collier dont have one elite skill.

Time will tell. In a good draft yea he's a 2nd rounder. It all depends on if people are wrong about the class struggling next year.

If he gives Coach Andy 3 years to coach him up I can see it

While the HS class is weak, you cannot predict a draft's strength so early. Sophomores will take leaps, international guys will surface, etc

I've seen classes billed as strong become weak vice versa

And Bronny will have to shoot at least 35% on volume from 3 or the whole Melton/Caruso archetype talk sinks before you even get to that point.

Bronny actually produces pretty well in these all star games

He's just not a take over kind of player or ball dominant

It's gonna be really interesting to see where he goes next year and what they will expect or ask of him.

 

[Braman]

Bronny’s shooting is being overblown. If you’re not dynamic enough to run point (he’s not) not many teams are playing a 6’3 guard at the 2 just for his shooting.

The Deanthony Melton comp is spot on. And Deanthony meltons fall thru the cracks all the time. He lucked up to go to Memphis where all their bench guys got a chance to shine. Other guys in other situations fade away.

Bronny is a reminder that there may not be a more crowded archetype in all of sports than the 6’3 and under guard. At every level you can find one. Bruh you gotta be ELITE to make it as a small guard. Bronny is not elite

 

[Braman]

Johnathan givony is getting paid. There is no way in hell Bronny is a lottery pick

People are falling for that Draymond garbage and fantasizing about the idea of the ‘deluxe role player’. Please gtfoh with that.

You find that guy in the damn G league not the lottery.

Also for a little perspective, look at the guards on the WORST teams in the league

Houston- KP and Jalen
Pistons- Jaden Hardy
Magic- Suggs, Fultz, Anthony
Pacers- Haliburton, Buddy, Mathurin
Hornets- Lamelo, Rosier

And if you’re a team like the spurs who have no guards, imagine you’re stuck with Bronny as your PG. You’d cry. He’s not a difference maker I’m a bit tired of people conflating having basic level skills with ‘let’s the game come to him, high IQ’.

I don't know why brehs just want to ignore his size. If he was 6'6 you pencil him in as a lotto pick with a 10 year career, but he's 6'2. I had him early with a Caruso comp, but he stopped growing. Caruso 6'5 with the strength to match up with any wing in the league. A 6'2/6'3 Caruso would be in Europe right now. Saying that I wish the future Trojan the best, he can be a college Caruso

Caruso is 6'4"

However, he is strong as hell. He had 4 years of college strength + grown man strength by the time he made a name for himself. So its asking a lot.

I actually think Bronny could be really good if he played 3 years in college. But Bron not letting that happen so its just a question if he's closer to 6'4", not 6'2" and if he can really shoot it consistently.

Defensive instincts are definitely there.

Whatever Caruso is, is noticeably bigger then Bronny. I know camera angels and all that, but doesn't look close

I think the appeal of Bronny is his marketability and star power obviously based off his name.

And then there’s his upside and IQ

You know he’s gonna be a hard worker and get better fast.

PLUS if he gets any more taller and bigger with those Bron genes kicking in when he gets older and in his prime he might become a monster

Just look at what deaaron fox and Shai turned into basically overnight

i can see him playing the Paxson/Ron Harper role on a championship team
