Bronny James Pro Thread

[jaydawg08]

Yes we know.. And that's the ONLY reason he's in the G League/NBA and it's fukking sad as hell

This ain't working at AT&T. The world sees your kid isn't good enough and just riding your back to embarrassment. At least Jordan had the right mind to tell his kids that they suck and they don't want these problems. Bron like "nah... lets fukk up your adulthood too"

Just not true. He is better than the other 1st round pick from last year, but even then you can’t even name another 20 2nd round picks or UDFA who didn’t get drafted

Idk why people pretend like they are some NBA scout and know which guards who didn’t get drafted should have. You’re a surface level casual lol you don’t even know the pros and cons of the 1st and 2nd overall picks

He's pretty ass but bronny is shooting 12% on worse averages.

And yet he STILL is a better NBA prospect than JHS

And yet he STILL is a better NBA prospect than JHS

In what regard?

Bronny lacks the size, shooting ability, handle, guard vision, ball skills, etc. Everything besides athleticism or even just leaping ability, essentially. His game is that of a 6'8 project wing but he's 6'2.

CG's come into the league with elite ball skills or they end up complete duds like scoot henderson.

6'2 prospect is an oxymoron in the NBA

but is he a better player?

Most guards enter college with much more ball skills than bronny did too. Why do you think he ended up at USC? That was literally his only high-major offer, the other schools that offered were schools like Akron. He was posting pics of himself in a Duke jersey and a Kentucky jersey asking if he should go there, but he never even had offers from those schools.

There's a reason why the elite schools in the nation, or even rebuilding programs like Ohio State weren't high after McD's AA. These coaches livelihoods are dependent on scouting and recruiting HS players, yet none of them prioritized a top 25 recruit? It's b/c they saw all the glaring holes in his game.

 

[jaydawg08]

but is he a better player?

Yes.. cause JHS is broken, can’t do anything even moderately well or has the potential for it

It’s because they knew that Bronny would be a special case, and likely would be 1 and done no matter the production.. college coaches are trying to navigate this entire generation differently then in the past with the NIL, transfer portal, etc.. your going into it with the same mindset of how it was in 2004 and that’s not how college basketball is anymore

He most def had other major program offers, and he even was a standout in the McDonalds AA game

I watched the McD's AA game. He was hot, no doubt about it. He had a nice step back, and IIRC a 2-3 dribble pull up 3. I was actually impressed with his shooting. He can be a lot better than he has been playing, but when will this actually start to happen. Playing well in a McD's AA game, which is a glorified all start game is pretty meaningless, and so far that's been the best game of his career.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh... you thought this was MY analysis..

Nah this is the analyst of current players, former players, scouts, GMs, coaches and everybody else with more basketball knowledge than this entire board, that has been telling us that since failing in college to be anything

Which one of those picks from last year avg 4.2 points in their only season in college... We'll wait

Yea.... but now he's playing against adults... ADULT NBA PLAYERS... this is a different breed. He couldn't even do it in college.. He's clearly not doing it now..

Where is all this hope and optimism coming from?

as bad as JHS is, you ask most GM's if they would pick JHS or Bronny, they're picking JHS. JHS sucks for NBA standards. Bronny just sucks.

You really think in your right mind that Bronny can remotely do this:





Mind you, he was doing that when he was Bronny's age last year. You can pretend like Bronny is a better player and keep perpetuating that lie to thecoli because they don't know any better but he's not and that's okay. The longer you pretend that Bronny is an actual prospect, the more you lose credibility(you have none to most people)

There's really none coming from me other than just wishing him well.

I didn't like his game coming out of HS

I posted on her ad nauseam that if his name was Chris Jones Jr. he'd have been a fringe top 100 player going to Bowling Green or some shyt
