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. :yeshrug: 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. :yeshrug:

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.
