Charles Barkley: "Bronny is not ready for the NBA"

[FAH1223]

Bronny probably won't be in the NBA in 4 years time.

real spit right here

@mastermind with the quotable of the year

The problem with this take is you're leaving out the fact by all scouts account he held his own in McD's practice. And during the game he was one of the better players. Leaving that info out actually does a disservice to what he do while there.


So doesn't matter if it was deserved since he took the chance and ran with it. Same with Nike Hoops Summit. They each had him closing games on the
the floor. There's a reason he was getting bumped up in recruiting rankings/mock drafts because he performed.

Summer League/Preseason/NBA he clearly hasn't done the same and that's the real issue. Because he was given an opportunity and showed more times than not that he isn't ready.

I'm pretty sure that other highly recruited prospects would've held their own as well if given the chance to be a participant as well tho.

Truth be told he was really a 3 star prospect in high school. Levon Green Jr doesn't get to skip the line .

But dude is clearly not ready for the NBA and should be in school. GLeague at best

You're projecting. Whatever you think you are or never will be is on you.

I'll keep saying it. Be the man who can make power moves for your child or be the man who cries about the people that can. We see which path you're choosing.

This is doofus babble that never addressed what I wrote.

Make moves to put him in a power position at Nike. Make moves to have him take over Klutch. Make moves to have him starring in a movie or tv show your production company makes. But to put him out there knowing he clearly isn't ready just to have a moment that no one truthfully thinks was earned ain't it.

You are entitled to feel that way and all are sound strategies. However, you are overlooking one important fact. You aint bronny daddy. His dad had the juice to pull the move and did it. He wanted to do it, had the power to do it and did it. Like thousands of dads all across the globe do each and every day. Like it or not, he ain't the first and he won't be the last.

Put yourself in the position to do the same for your kids and you can do whatever you feel is best to set them up because it's your kids and you'll have that power. And guess what, whatever you decide to do for them will get some cats in their feelings because they couldn't do what you did, and their pops couldn't do it for them. Decide whether you want to be the one making power moves or the person who is feeling a way about the people who can.

The only way I still see him in the league after his rookie contract expires is if LeBron is part owner of the Las Vegas franchise and he forces the GM to sign Bronny.

Lol Lebron would be GM breh

 

[thelonious21]

Bron's tweet about Bronny being better than some current players before being drafted didn't help either.

To me THIS is why I don't want to hear shyt..
Bron said his son would give dudes buckets....

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Just a simple yes or no question for LeGBT.

Would the Lakers draft Bronny if LeBron James wasn't on the roster?

I know they aren't dumb enough to answer "yes"

Turns out Bronny James was the right draft pick at 55 👀🏀 #NBA #nbadraft #lebronjames #bronnyjames #losangeleslakers #lakers #lebron

www.threads.net

So the lakers should’ve drafted Kevin McCuller Jr,
Ulrich Chomche, or Ariel Hukporti ?

These are really the spots and opportunities Bronny took away and those guys are real NBA players?

Just want someone to build a case for them

I think this is an interesting take with a guy like Anthony Gill in the NBA for the last 5 years getting about $2.4M per year

Dude is 32 and is averaging 1.8ppg .8rb .2 stl .1 blk and again, this his 5th year and he Kinda old

There are many guys like that though and they been on rosters for years.

Now the real question is will the 3rd draft pick Reed Sheppard be in the NBA in 4 years?

Dude stat line is below, again he a 3rd pick, how much patience is allowed for a 1st round 3rd pick over 2nd round late picks?

PTS	REB	AST	FG%
3.9	1.4	1.2	33.2

Reed Sheppard will be in the NBA because he has an elite skill and he isn’t playing because of a logjam at that position in Houston.

Anthony Gill is a glorified assistant coach in DC.

I don’t doubt that he won’t be…. But I’m also not 100% confident as he still not a better player than Darko or even on better Tyler Hand rough from Carolina

Only time will truly tell but if he does follow a similar path, he’s more of a waste of a roster spot than a 2nd rounder
