I think Bronny has the potential to be one of the great role players like a Ginobili or Rajon Rondo type guard because his dad is lebron and I believe he knows and play the game the right way but BRYCE has it all he has his dads body and his brain ! But to say less both are going to be NBA players

If the kid was it we’d ALL know it already. Period. There would be no doubt or debate.

Its, if you draft my son; you have the chance of getting Lebron James for 2 years.

It’s funny… when the son of a mid NBA player hits the draft, they call it “Good pedigree” or an “NBA family” or “His father knows what it takes” etc…
You end up with guys like Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Jalen Brunson
But when the son of Lebron is available for the draft, they call it nepotism.
Bronny is what I would call a high floor, low ceiling prospect. He learned from the literal best.
He doesn’t have the physical gifts of his father… 6’2″ in the NBA limits your options on offense and defense… but he’s not going to be a bust. There will be at least a dozen busts drafted ahead of Bronny. Bronny is going to be decent. Everyone hates drafting low-ceiling prospects but it is what it is. Bronny is worth drafting. You add in the fact that one of the best players in the league (Lebron) is a free agent and really wants to play with Bronny, that means that besides Bronny’s intrinsic value is mid, but his implied value is high. He’s an EASY 2nd round pick and I wouldn’t doubt if a team might draft him late first round just to start a bidding war.

I think he COULD develops into a player like Aaron Nesmith and if so that would be a sweet pick up in the second round 🤷♂️

White American used nepotism all the time and no one bats an eye, I mean if your son was in that position you would do your best to help him.

Criticism of Bronny is equivalent to Criticism of Isreal ….you see the fear and tip toe of what can hurt your career.

I’ve been saying this. Bronny is nothing more than a good HBCU player! Without his dad, he could possibly play overseas at best! Growing up in NC, I knew and went to school with so many guys that were so talented! Could jump out the gym and looked great on tape! Some made it to big colleges, but none even sniffed the NBA!

His younger brother IS better…Bronny is privileged at the moment. And I’m glad Mad Dog called it as it is. He ain’t ready.
