    I wonder if it’s security related, and they can manage that better at home

    I don’t care what his name is. If he sucks at basketball, holding him out of games he should be playing in is just retarding his development.

    Good to see him healthy, looking confident and having his best game so far for South Bay

    I liked his block last night. He’s got some real defensive skills. But yeah, gotta work on his shot.

    He may develop into a decent player someday.
    With the rebuild coming this summer, it will most likely be with a different team.

    i watched because i hate myself.

    his touch around the rim is nice, actually, i just think nba shotblockers are putting all those in the third row. just not at all explosive, and unlike jhs, he's not big for his position either. definitely knows how to play, though, and that shouldn't be underestimated, imo. jj's having problems getting guys to just execute. i think bronny can already do that at an nba level.

    random observation: max christie is there...why isn't he sitting by lebron? i mean, they're basically in a middle school gym; it's almost awkward to not sit next to your teammate regardless of circumstance, right?

    Folks should leave that kid alone, and just let him be himself, and find his own path on this journey. He has some tools, I wish him good luck.

    I mean I’m rooting for him, he’s out draft pick, of course I want him to succeed. I like his speed, his strength is already solid at that age, he’s got hops, he’s got defensive tools and decent IQ, good passer. He just has to be able to shoot, if you’re that size you have to be able to shoot, and I guess improve his handle as well. But it would be a great story if he put it together and became a Josh Hart type, stuck with us as a solid role player for years to come after his legendary father gave us some great years and a championship.

    I'm both surprised and happy for him

    Hopefully he can grow from this and improve his game

    Sometimes hard work pays off

    interesting that they seem to be running him at the point? it would be best if he could play that spot. want to see more catch and shoot threes go down for him. nice that he was able to punish defenders for going under the screen, as that's the first thing folks would do at the next level.

    my biggest remaining concern with him is that i'm actually not sure he's laterally quick enough to be a top notch defender at the next level, given his size. felt like he got dusted some in the preseason/summer league just off standstill drives by non-nba players. but maybe i'm misremembering.
