Wish Bronny was good at one thing on offense. Just doesn't do anything notable on offense . He's good on defense though
His defensive potential is intriguing. His lack of any offensive skills is worrying. Regardless, he's a project and like JHS, we won't know what we have for another year.
Soooo based on your post , you would actually draft him if his dad wasn’t LeBron ? Because you see potential? Why did we release Scottie pippen son then ? You didn’t see potential?
No, I wouldn't have drafted him. IMO he's not good enough as of yet and should have stayed in school another 2 years. Regardless he's a Laker now and I try to see the positive and see a path forward towards him being an NBA player and I'm rooting for him. But his dad did him no favors by pushing for this. The arguments for this are that second round picks are basically a gamble anyway and you keep your superstar happy, and the Lakers have always been in the business of placating their stars. So from that prospective I understand why they did it. So even though I don't think he's NBA ready, the Lakers didn't really lose anything by doing this.
He performed well for a second round pick in the summer league. The guaranteed contract was a gift from dad though. So drafting him actually pretty reasonable but not the money
i agree. the guaranteed money is sorta nuts and wouldn't have been done for anyone not named lebron james junior. but i think he was draftable in the 50s. apparently, gs did, too.
Son of the GOAT has ZERO points! Really !! I can put up ZEROS too if you paid me millions . People are starving this guy gets paid millions for ZERO points C BAGS are laughing at us
You can wait until sod grows out of everyone a**, Junior has no business being in the NBA, had no business being drafted and no business getting a 3 year guarantee deal. It is an embarrassment and the most privileged thing I have ever seen in sports. And comparing Junior to Scottie Pippen's kid is not only an insult to Scottie Jr but an insult to anyone who knows basketball. Scottie Pippen Jr has a little bit of talent, he isn't pathetic. Bronny didn't even belong playing in a D-1 college program let alone anything in the NBA. And having this "we will wait another year" horse**** mentality is dead. Lakers don't have a year to wait for anyone, they need to win now.
I’m not THAT down on the kid, but I do expect a lot of empty box scores from him. limited minutes plus limited offense, and the fact that a lot of what happens defensively doesn’t show up in a box score. He won’t have impressive stats for sure.
