    I wonder what Bronny thinks about all of this. On the one hand, its obviously his dream to play in the league and he has a father doing everything he can to make that happen. On the other hand, he has to see all this stuff about him not really being an NBA player. I'm sure he knows it in the back of his mind too. Its a tough position to be in for a kid.

    Why would you be sure, that he know that in the back of his mind? This contradicts that narrative doesn't it?

    " This was a positive week in Chicago for Bronny James. He’s moved into the late second round of our latest projections. We’re gonna have him at 54 in our next update. That’s all the way up from the back end of the top 100. Talking to NBA people out here, they feel like he’s legitimized himself as a real NBA prospect.”


    ESPN’s Jonathan Givony on Bronny James

    Givony is the same guy that projected Bronny as a lottery pick going into the college basketball season, I didn't see anyone else remotely close to that high on him. I'm not sure what's going on there, but Givony is an outlier IMO. Think of it this way; even Givony, who has been higher on Bronny than anyone else, has him at #54 in what's generally accepted as the worst draft in a long time.

    They gave up the 2nd goal with 1:30 left in the game ! Classic Boston choke . I’ve seen them give up 2 goals in 17 sec of 3rd period of game 7 of cup finals vs Chicago ! C bags are next

    Kyrie in closeout games:

    Kyrie never in his career lost the match in which his team had a chance to close the playoffs series. He won all 13 matches.

    Irving is the only player in history NBA, who did not suffer a single defeat in 10 + matches in which he could close the series.
    14-0 ?

    Luka in closeout games:

    32.4 PPG
    8.2 RPG
    10.0 APG
    1.8 SPG

    The only player to average 30/5/10 in closeout situations.
    So Mavs are new NBA champions unless they will get swept

    If I was Bronny I wouldn't wanna play with my dad. You're in the NBA travelling from city to city and your dad is watching over your every move?? Nah man

    Maybe in a couple years, after he develops a shot and can drive to his left- ya know- what most players should already have the ability to do in High School.

    I was just asking why LeBron and Maverick would be the 2 unnamed negative scouts, assuming it was a joke. As well for the end of the second round it should be kept in mind his first year in college really got screwed up from the heart episode and time in games building his game at the collegiate level .... that he missed. Ergo .... the pretty good week he had at the combine, all things considered, would have "likely" been even better had that not happened. We do know he has an NBA ready body physically at the least.

    If Luka was at 100%, the Mavs would be a legit title contender.
