It’s funny how bitter guys are about prospects they didn’t “discover” themselves.

not too shabby for a kid who will only make the league because of his father.


Yeah he's been jumping up ranks this season. At this rate he's going to be a 5 star recruit

Gonna assume he's not putting up like 6 points and 1 rebound again if people are coming here to chest thump.

imagine caring about or judging a high school kid's stats. Too funny. Bronny is on a loaded team, knows he's set, is very unselfish and fills the stat sheet and does whatever is needed. He can score 25-30 if he's aggressive or flirt with a 13 pt triple double the next game. He is always flying around, getting steals and blocks and flashing a nice looking shot and his elite athleticism. THAT is what tells you what kind of prospect he is.

if I was to guess I'd say he's averaging 14-5-5 with 3 steals and a block per game

Bronny is still overrated and will struggle big time as a frosh at the high major level. he should have taken the pussies way out and gone OTE.

like Jrue Holiday's season at UCLA putting up 8-4-4 shooting 30% from three? Damn, Bronny will never amount to anything at the NBA level if so

i didn't say he will never amount to anything - when you as athletic as he is, you have a shot if you put in the work. but he will struggle as a frosh at that level.

Bronny has had an advantage his entire life in terms of physical training and nutrition vs some dude growing up in the hood without even a fraction of the resources that Bronny has had growing up

guess what's gonna happen now in college and eventually the NBA with the resource advantage that Bronny has is considerably cut, and everyone he's playing against gets on a real physical regimen?

no one's saying Bronny cannot be a functional college or even NBA player at some point, but the fact that relatively speaking he was a marginal recruit DESPITE those advantages he's had his entire life doesn't speak well on his natural talent.

the NBA/media really wants this Bronny thing to happen tho for obvious reasons so he'll get his shot (multiple shots) that many players of his caliber wouldn't have gotten. it is what it is.

Lol, most NBA prospects don’t grow up in the MFing hood anymore. They grow up in the suburbs or internationally, and go to high school at places like Oak Hill academy. This ain’t the 90s.

not really sure what you guys are not understanding here.

no one is saying these guys are born in the congo without a basketball court.

what is being said is that the vast majority of Bronny's competition have NOT had the access to the resources that Bronny has had before 12 or after 12...that is just the fact.

just because someone plays in the AAU doesn't mean they get world-class personal training, recovery programs and dietitians.

You should stop doubling down on your bad take. Most of these high level prospects are getting access to great personal training and facilities starting in middle school.
