BRONNY JAMES IS A LAKER?

What do that mean and all I’m gonna say about NBA heights is remember it was once said that Barkley was 6’9

Howard was listed at 6'7", I gave him 6'6".

Show me where Charles Barkley was ever given a 6'9" listing in the NBA.

I always find this question/perspective intriguing and it takes be back to when cats asked the same about Lamelo and the same response was given.

Like I know people love to compare 15-17 year olds to pro’s in their late 20s & 30s.

But wouldn’t it be best to first look at the crop of guys the same age as these kids? Like who are 60 yet alone 31 other kids that are better than Bronny right now?

Cuz no one in whatever draft is gonna day one be at the level of Curry, Bron, KD, Giannis, etc.

But at that draft class and age range…. That something else

ANYBODY WHO SAID LAMELO
WASNT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE
THE LEAGUE IS A fukkING IDIOT.

IT WAS ALWAYS OBVIOUS FROM DAY 1
AND HE ALWAYS PLAYED AGAINST
OLDER COMPETITION.

Oh man…. If I had the time…. I would pull some post.

But there was a lot of people that called him trash and said his game wouldn’t make it to the league and said a lot of the same shyt that’s being said in here

And then some even double downed when he went overseas saying it was a wrap and he fukked up

My thing is…. These kids are not even close to finished products. On the right path they will continue to grow

So none

 

[Bryan Danielson]

So none

Like the vid said “It’s in the game”

 

[#1 pick]

He dropped like 30 spots in his HS class rankings (from around 25th to the 60s)

Hes good but its going to be an uphill battle to get to where his dad was at this time (consensus #1 in his class)

Should focus on mutiple years in college or G League Ignite for now

I think it's a foregone conclusion that he's not close to his dad at the same age. He's still pretty good tho.

 

[#1 pick]

So what’s the comparison to him and say Melo Ball at the same age.

Oh mind you, at 17 a player I personally know and seen at the same age in Josh Howard. From what I seen, he’s better than him and he ended up making the league, becoming an All Star (who even Kobe said is a problem) and was the second best player on his team behind Dirk

He's not that far from 17 year old Melo but Melo just grew into his 6'7 height and was looking extremely uncomfortable with his new height. He adjusted a year later in Australia and became a top 3 NBA draft pick. While Ball wasn't that impressive as a HS Senior, his upside was significantly higher. As a Jr, both had extremely question marks, Ball with a lot more natural talent while Bronny is a lot more NBA ready.

It's hard to compare the two. Ball was superior as a freshman and Sophomore. Ball regression had more to do with him going to Europe and then the JBA, and the Europe summer tour. He seemed to be all over the place till he went to Australia with Jermaine Jackson. Ball was younger too at the same stage.

Thank you so much for that and I legit think this may be the best post in this entire thread

It’s kinda funny to how Lamelo hit a random growth spurt and THEN people started really taking him seriously

Cause so many wanted him to fail and were looking for any reason to doubt him.

If Bronny somehow gets to 6’5-6’6 that’s all he needs to be a top 3 pick in my eyes. He’s already a freak athlete at only 6’2 with guard skills. Get him as a SF height And he’ll really start getting some highlights

As is he’s still making the NBA and will probably be a first round pick off his name alone

Just imagine him in college having a big game. The hype will be crazy

Him and Lamelo paths to nba will be comparable

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Factual.

On the thread topic tho the best thing he could possibly do for his career is to develop a dead eye jumper, but even that is not enough. Look at Gelo Ball, his jumper is clean as hell but he can't do anything else.

Dont let hughlights fool you. Gelo is not a shooter, its just the only thing he can do. His shooting % from 3 would be worse than Lonzo’s or Melo’s if he was in the league.

 

[Remote]

Nah. Lebron had to check him for that.

 

[GunRanger]

Bronny got Faze sponsoring a whole team

 

[OnlyOneBoss]

Honestly (no hate intended) but he doesn’t seem like a star player or 1-2 option



If he wants a long career (idk if he cares fr) elite 3&D guy might be the way to go frfr
