How come no one posted about Bronny going to Ohio State?

The GB did because they think Bronny is worth talking about over there.

He's easily the most discussed prospect in this class.

Bronny going to Ohio state is actually just solid that’s why it doesn’t propose any toxic discussion for realgm

Sounds like he was medically cleared for the NBA. I like underdog stories, which is why I am rooting for the kid.

Huge mistake. He’s being set up to fail by his Dad.

This is a horrific decision and will end in tears.

He will be drafted by a team. It will be either as a favor to Klutch or by the Lakers appeasing Bron. He will likely spend many years in the league if Lebron ends up becoming owner of the Vegas team. The only tears will be by incels claiming that life isn’t fair.

It's gonna be interesting to see if someone cock-blocks the Lakers by taking him in the 2nd round...
I figure there's a10% chance that you can talk Lebron into coming to your team (for second round pick, that's pretty good value), and if not, you can probably extract at least a future 2nd from LAL for him. So that doesn't look like a terrible gamble (for a second round pick) to me...

Not worth putting your franchise (and/or individual name for the GM) on the Klutch/Bron **** list for a 2nd rd pick.

You don’t just draft Bronny and think you’re getting a convo with LeBron. Rich Paul comes to you if you are part of the plan they have come up with. It’s not an organic situation where you just wait and see how it plays out, this whole thing will be orchestrated for the outcome they want

I’m thinking Klutch will want him to go as high as possible no matter who the team is. I could see them promising the team who drafts him a non-Lebron star Klutch client free agent signing. Like a Dejounte Murray or something.

kid had a hell of a performance first day of the combine. The lack of height for a SG is definitely an issue. Doing some research plugging in his size, length and skills here are the comps I've come up with. There's not a lot but there's at least a reasonable chance he could have a similar career to some of these guys as a defense first guy, high BBIQ, connective passer and spot up shooter:

High End

Marcus Smart
Avery Bradley
Delonte West
George Hill
Eric Gordon

Low End

Payton II
Tyler Ennis

I think a cross between Avery Bradley and GP2 is the best comp I could come up with. Bradley was a starter on a young try hard rebuilding Celtics team when Brad Stevens was hired and was good enough to eventually help them make the playoffs and get to the ECF. Payton was instrumental in the Warriors winning a championship as a defensive specialist and energy guy and sometimes spot starter. If Bronny can thread the needle between these two types of players he can have a very long and productive career and make tens of millions of dollars. My guess is he'll end up being drafted and be closer to GP2 since it'll be a contender so his numbers might be lower but impact still decently high.

If I was the Lakers I'd trade out of the first and pick up some 2nd rounders or just hope he lasts until their pick and use one of them on him to keep Lebron in LA. Bronny isn't worth a first round pick imho

Now post how he did in the scrimmage.

Next Lu Dort

What do you guys make of Phoenix considering this kid at 22?

Completely laughable and probably not true. But the media doesn't have a Wemby to hang on to this year so they continue to push Bronny instead of doing research on the actual good prospects in this class that casuals haven't heard of, because it's just easier to generate clicks that way.

What other prospect in this class will generate clicks though? Isn't that the media's job?

Bronny staying in the draft is basically confirming the Lakers or Suns have guaranteed drafting him.

Crazy LeBron.and Bronny will both be in NBA 2k25 together.

So the guy doesn’t play really at all last year. So no good tape.

Now he isn’t working out for most teams?

This is a sham. Which most everyone predicted but seeing it this clear is still rather infuriating.

Givony has been carrying Bronny's water for weeks now, you can't really blame him but it's a shame how much he's sold out since the DX days. I think Givony still has talent evaluation ability, but you just can't trust it anymore knowing that he'll prioritize writing about what his bosses need him to

Everyone would sell out if they are paid more to write about certain guys.
