@@tkbaku3036he doesn't know, he's going off knowledge of what bronny statistically has done so far in college. I mean in your opinion do you honestly believe only knowing based off what bronny has done in college, the limited amount of time he has spent, is he really ready for the NBA? Again Bronny has played 25 games in college, in a team that was mediocre, and played 19 minutes a game averaging 4.8 a game, is he really ready for the NBA at this moment?! I've never watched him in college and I'm going solely based off statistics and I think he's not ready. Is it fair to say? Yes because that's what his statistics say. What's not fair to Bronny is the fact his name is attached to his father, is the only reason people have massive interest, and massive interest to what?! Because most people even outside of ESPN believe he's more a G league project 1st before anything else.. Again when you just have a major health scare, and have very limited productivity, what do you think most analyst are gonna say?! That is why imo, Bronny should play another year or 2 in college to hone his skills more to be NBA ready then. But the fact Bronny wants to be in the NBA now, and I think the reason he does is the fact daddy wants to play with him, is a big reason why, Bronny wants to go to the NBA. Based solely from what he has shown in college, and even what he has shown here, shows he has promise, but he's not NBA ready. I mean kudos to Bronny for wanting that expectation and I hope he can for fill his dad's dream, but without any real experience yet at even the college level, what makes people believe he's even G League ready after just getting back to health from a cardiac arrest?!

Dont have to watch anyone to believe that. Like for example is bronny even gonna be half as good as Monte Morris? Morris cant even see 10 min per game off the bench for the wolves with Conley is healthy.....and I really like Morris

Nobody is picking up the 35th best guard in college as their 2nd round or 3rd round pick. In all honesty bronny probably wasn't even the 6th best player at USC.
Eric Bledsoe averaged 20.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 11.5 assists per game during his senior season at Parker High School. Kentucky Stats: Points: 11.3 Rebounds: 3.1 Assists: 3.4 Steals: 2.5 Field Goal Percentage: 46.3% Free Throw Percentage: 66.7% 3-Point Percentage: 38.3% Bonny James: Senior Year (2023): Averaged 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. Junior Year (2022): Averaged 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.9 steals per game in 29 games. Freshman Year (2020): Averaged 4.1 points per game in limited minutes (around 15 minutes per game). College (USC Trojans - Freshman Year, 2023-2024) Played in all 25 games, starting only 6. Averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. Shot 36.6% from the field, 26.7% from three-point range, and 67.6% from the free-throw line.

What happens when he turns out to be a decent role player? Does that mean you were just miserable and cynical for no reason? He looks good enough to make a roster to be developed. He's an athlete, has a good defensive IQ, and puts in a lot of time shooting. At USC he didn't play half the season and was limited the rest of season.... He also didn't play his position in college. But it's going to be so funny when Bronny turns out to be a decent player and all y'all look like fools. Nobody is saying he's a star, but I 100% believe he'll be in a rotation by end of year 2.

@@OscarJ-01but how can you even dissect or comment on someone's hype without watching them? This is the Draymond argument for being a HoFer. His stats are misleading and he 100% deserves to be in the HoF. Stephen A wouldn't know unless he saw him play. If you watched with your own eyes and thinks he sucks cool. If you haven't seen him at all? Be quiet.

The NBA combine is a joke, just like the NBA. It’s an awful attempt to legitimize a player that doesn’t possess top skills. This is pathetic, this is what the NBA has become. A transfer portal for their kids, a soft spoken pointless media circus about potential. I don’t want to watch not one NBA game with a bunch of potential players.

Those other CLOWNS are afraid to say this. if this was any other KID who was NOT a TOP 10 HS player, and was NOT sought after by every college in the country and only averaged 4 point a game on a BAD college team...they would be saying he's trash and should stay in school and that he's NOT ready.

"Making that the highest score at the combine.... behind Alex Karaban" So then it wasn't the highest score! Stop it, show highlights of the other players lighting it up as well. I'd be upset if I put up the highest score yet what was said about me is that another player finished behind me. My gosh.
I totally agree. If Bronny wasn't Lebron James' son, the teams wouldn't even bat an eyelash on him. Lebron inadvertently set his son up for failure. He should have let Bronny prove himself first. Kid ain't ready.
