Bronny James dominates at the draft combine

He’s proving all of the doubters wrong. Look at that lightning quick release. It’s obvious he only struggled shooting in college because of his heart problems. He’s looking more and more like a lock for the first round. 40 inch vertical too which makes up for being 6’1. Btw the two time consensus NCAA player of the year only managed to go 14/25

And of course the Clutch Sports Propoganda Machine starts to work its magic.

Btw I have no personal ill feelings about Bronny, I really hope he has a long and successful NBA career, but puh-lease, but he is unfairly being used as a pawn by his father and the Rich Paul Cabal.

The best thing for his pro career is not to be drafted to the Lakers/play with his father.

Ideally should have stayed at College for another year and work on the flaws of his game, but that doesn't suit Daddy and Clutch's time line.

It's a bit distasteful to me how a child is being exploited like this.

I think it can be a very smart move for any team to draft him in the 2nd round.
Even if you don't imagine playing him in your team, you still get the chance to either convince LeBron to play for your team for some minimum salary in the future or just get a lot of value from a team that wants him like the Lakers.
If you have more "Posts" than "And1", don't feel bad if I didn't reply to you - I just don't like to speak with people who argue a lot :beer:

San Antonio could take a gamble and pick him 8th.

Its not like the draft class is spectacular anyways.

he's not an nba player, but if I'm a team in the second round I'm drafting him either to hold him for ransom and get assests out of the lakers if they bite, or just on the off chance you can get a year or two of LeBron if he's willing to sign. This draft sucks anyways why not take the chance. But here's a guy who's had every possible advantage in life, access to the best coaches, nutrition, training, facilities and grew up with the game and still kind of sucks at it. Makes you wonder how much room there is for improvement. I don't think he's going to get to even a g league level.

im pretty sure, they let bronnie decide that for himself.

these young guys are about earning money. And if hes drafted as a project he can work on his flaws while on rookie contract and being a fulltime baller. i dont see the issue here. obviously young people shouldnt be pressured into major decisions.

but i have a hard time believing what people say here, regarding using their son to make daddy happy or for PR reasons. i think lebron has narcisstic tendencies but i dont think its that bad.

also this year allegedly is a bad draft class, this is a way better time to head into draft for him.
im bout dat action boss

That would be the most incompetent thing the San Antonio front office has ever done.

I will try to be as objective as possible as I (obviously) don’t know the family

Parents want what is best for their kids but…

If it was me, I would be handling things very differently

I would have encouraged him to play any sport apart from basketball

Assuming that he still wanted to play the game then he has to stand on his own 2 feet without the James PR machine behind him and rumours about LeBron playing with his son should have been shot down on day one

A similar thing is playing out in golf atm with Tiger and his son

Tiger has done nothing to stop the media hype and his son was getting an attitude

Unfortunately, the public is discovering that his son isn’t remotely near the level of some others of his age and I’d imagine it’s a bit of a gut punch

I just realised that Lebron stans are going to be around a lot longer if Bronny makes the league. Fml

Let's talk about sample size. Surely 25 open shots negate the result of a college season. Not saying he didn't or can't improve but even I have had days where I made 20/25 threes in a practice environment.

Since the Spurs most likely only have few top 10 picks left before Wemby gets them to contender status I wouldn't waste any of them on a gamble, weak draft or not.

"Btw the two time consensus NCAA player of the year only managed to go 14/25"

Edey, who tried exactly 1 three pointer in four years college career shooting ONLY 14/25 ... After this brick throwing performance his stock will drop rapidly fpr sure.

Joking aside, Edey shooting 14/25 in a gym should tell something to the OP, alongside with Ben Simmons' offseason clips.

Edit: nevermind, after watching the clip and reading "Look at that lightning quick release" part, I understand that I took the bait. Good job OP :lol:

I would burn a first on him. Toronto should. You have nothing to lose. But there are too many Bron haters that can't admit his son actually has some talent. That is just me though.

Sure, standing around while being defended by a ghost means a lot for one's future nba prospects. Teams are salivating I tells ya
