Kinda feel bad for the kid. Think he’s being forced to join the draft when he doesn’t want to yet. I think he should play a bit more college ball and improve his game more before joining the draft. Maybe enjoy the college life a bit too idk…don’t think he’s nba skill level at all yet. Might just go undrafted. I don’t wanna waste a pick on him when he’s not that good. He averages 5/3/2 on 37% in 20 minutes of play…only reason he’ll be drafted is because he’s bron’s son
He needs atleast 2 more years of college play
Should have went to Duquesne for a year to get more development and playing time
Just fyi. Last day to withdraw from the draft is May 29th. Bronny is also still in the transfer portal. He’s probably going to go through the combine this week and then make a decision. It isn’t a given that he’ll enter the draft and even if he does, relax everyone…. he’s a 2nd rounder at best.
Why the hell is there so much Bronny hate on this sub?
Kobe’s Agent and Nepo Blondie are addicted to stars and headlines.
Even though he’s not a good player he’s a name. They care about that if you’ve been living under a rock.
Besides, LeBron has had to put up with front office ineptitude since he’s been here. Throw the guy a bone. Hell, they said no when he wanted one of the best coaches in the league hired. Now they want to hire the same guy they essentially told to F off because the Rambii thought the hire would make it look like LeBron ran the team.
This is a losing front office/ownership. Whats a bad draft pick?
Good for him but hope it’s not with the lakers
I’m fine with taking him at 55. People are saying he should develop more in college, but he can do the same thing in the G-League, with full-time support staff and while not having an academic commitment. The only downside is that the clock starts working against him once he starts his pro career and he’ll have to show something within 2-3 seasons to keep teams investing in him, returning to college would give him more of a buffer.
Go Bronny go! Bronny can play in the NBA right now. The league is full of scrub guards worse than him.
G League > NCAA.
No college life distractions (or fame from the tourney), just super focused development, fitness training, and constant auditioning to be “called up.” Competition are all older, more talented, and more dedicated to basketball as a profession.
Imagine Bronny on a 2-way with Lakers where he even plays a handful of games with his dad while getting world class competition and development.
It’s a win for Bronny… is it good for Lakers? IDK
I’m glad the Lakers have the 55th pick instead of say the 35th pick. If they do decide to throw it at Bronny, it will be less of a sacrifice.
I know this doesn’t matter to the majority of people here. But it’s kind of sad to think that there is going to be a guy that is much more deserving than Bronny is but his dad isn’t LeBron James and so he is going to be snubbed a spot and a shot this year
That Lebron to Bronny lob opening night going to be replayed for years to come
It’s crazy how both Shaqs kid and lebrons kid had to face similar issues.
