Bronny James dominates at the draft combine

[LaLover11]

Not really. LeBron doesn't fit. They aren't benching one of the two bigs. They're not sitting Jaden or Ant. LeBron ain't gonna come off the bench. Plus that's a whole, whole lot of drama for a 40 year old that can't play defense anymore. Don't need it. Anthony Edwards does need a long term point guard to run with him though. Somebody who understands the game, can play good on ball defense, can run on the break and can play off ball in half court. If Bronny can do that he's Ants PG and a legitimate player in his own right on a probable very good team... Without his pops pulling strings for him.

He is asked to do too much for LA but could be a scorer for ANY team.

I agree completely with that, but he's not a fit in Minnesota unless he wants to come off the bench and that's just insulting to LBJ. Bronny however, very well could be.

Bronny will be exactly that for LeBron and AD
L.A will also trade for Mitchell or Trae

This next season is going to be wild

The Lakers don't have the assets to get either Mitchell or Trae.

You're delusional with regards to Bronny.

Give me what he’s havin bartender, and not a lot

[DreamTeam09]

I don't think he's ever been the best player on a team. Infact if he kept it real from the jump he would've been learning to play PG from the beginning. He wasn't going to be tall, but he relied on his athleticism & his jumper.
Not sure why he's rushing to go to league if he's not trying to play with his dad. Go to college & actually show the world something. Improve your draft stock

This thread is about Bronny and it's very possible wins rookie of the year. This draft is extremely weak

Yup.

Everyone knows his only goal on this forum is to troll, but he is smart enough to do so in a way that doesn’t break any rules, so pretty much just have to deal with it.

Just mute his posts and don’t give him the attention he so desperately wants.

Yup you are 100% correct

Bronny is a legit 6'1.5." I saw him in person a couple of years ago, I'm 5'10-5'11," he was noticeably taller than me by like 2.5 or 3 inches. I remember thinking that he was a bit taller than I thought. When I saw him rebound the ball with his elbows above the rim, I never really had serious questions about his size again honestly. The key is his standing reach and wingspan. Christian Braun is 6'5.5" without shoes and has a 6'6" wingspan, but his standing reach of 8'3.5" Bronny has a 6'7.25" wingspan and an 8'2.5" standing reach. So basically, from finger tips to rim, they both have the same amount of distance to cover when they try to dunk. Which is to say, if they were both going for a rebound or jump ball, Bronny would have the same odds of getting the ball as Christian. He's got a pretty impressive standing vert of 32-inches, which means he gets about a foot above the rim from a stand still, meaning he easily plays far above the rim in most circumstances. At max vert he plays about 18 inches above the rim, so about the same as a James Harden or someone like that. He's also a muscular 210-pound guy as a 19-year-old already. That with his speed and lateral quickness and powerful leaping ability and reflexes and strong hands I think functionally make him like a 6'4" wing with good athleticism rather than the undersized PG the 6'1.5" without shoes tells us he is. Bronny was basically as fast as John Wall while jumping higher and weighing more.

So Bronny actually did better than I even thought. His athleticism shined on defense at USC, and in the open court. The issue is his nuanced athletic traits like a lack of fluidity and things like that. He desperately needs to develop his handle. He has good form on his jumper, but he needs to make it a legit weapon. But even at the combine, I actually saw solid vision again and defensive flashes and a decent jumper. I wish he had gone back to college, but the makings of an eventual NBA player are there. He does have a great IQ, great poise and good athleticism. Will be interesting to see where he's at in 3 years.

Bronny just averaged 4.8, 2.8, 2.1 on 36.6%. There is nothing in this guy suggesting he is an NBA player in the making other than his surname. Maybe in 5 years he can develop in a decent role player or a bench guy but no team in the NBA would give this kid a chance if his name was not James.

You also have to factor in that he put those numbers up on an awful team as well. On a good team, it's more likely those numbers would have been even worse as he wouldn't have even gotten the minutes he did.

I actually don't think that's necessarily true. Bronny plays better when he's put with better players and on teams that have clearly defined roles. No matter where he went, he was going to be able to play defense and make smart passes. He had the highest IQ on the Trojans this year as a freshman. On another team guards would get him cleaner shots most likely, put him in better positions to be a secondary playmaker.

Look at the Karen's crying about my opinions lol

Not everyone is going to agree with your point of view
That doesn't make it trolling. Learn how to accept others opinions and have a great weekend

Or he just doesn't play at all because there would be better players in front of him

Dominates what, exactly? It's essentially a camp, not actual NBA games. Congrats on jumping really high and hitting uncontested threes.

[Jasen777]

Maybe he can be the LeBron James of Gary Payton IIs.

[DrCoach]

DrCoach - your compasrions are wild and baseless.

Your hate is baseless

Not at all - throwing out Donovon Mitchell & McBride is so random for comparisons. Bronny is nothing like them - maybe 10% of their game. Only thing DrCoach was comparing was their heights lol

This quote is from the knicks draft thread, page 20…

“People trying to put comps on Bronny James but to me, he looks like Deuce McBride 2.0. Shortish PG/SG with good IQ but not really a true PG. Both are very good athletes with high upside defensive ability who can guard up positionally. With that said, should the Knicks look to draft him in the late 1st and develop him like they did Deuce? I think Thibs could get the best out of his overall potential.”

I guess the jokes on you

[DrCoach]

So, he's a lotto pick based on what exactly?

Where did u read that i said he was a lotto pick?

DrCoach - your compasrions are wild and baseless.

I used to be a pro scout for years

These comps are very good
