Lakers don't have a shooting coach? Lebron went from a poor shooter to quite good one, he should be able to help him. Shooting was supposed to be the one thing Bronny was better than his dad at the same ages.

Let's not forget his dad was a little bit slow out of the gates as well. Bronnie looks like he has the wearing basketball sneakers part of the game figured out already , once he can add shooting, passing, defense and pretty much every other skill in basketball to his repetoir, look out!


Very true, Bronny James Sr. put up a 49% TS his rookie season. We need to be patient with young players.

Man if only he was like 6'6-6'7 you could put him on the wing 3 and d and that would be the end of it.... But the fact that he's point guard size but without the game of a lead guard has him kind of miscast here.... I need to see more, kind of why I would've rather him stay another year in college go to a team where he can be a lead guard.... Right now I see him like a GP2 maybe?

First summer league game for Mr. Stephon Castle and he looked like he belonged. I hate that the Spurs play so early in these summer leagues because their guys never have any chemistry. Hopefully, with Gray and Duke playing next, they will be able to clean it up. But if Stephon has another game or two like this, I imagine his summer will be moving on to strictly player development.

Adonis Arms isn't a real name, you can't trust your own eyes anymore, there are AI generated people running around out here and they are better than Bronny at playing basketball....yes, I say 'they' because AI generated people don't have genders.

Bronny Pros:
He attempted to shoot off the dribble and create shots off moves. Aka star player attempt not some open spot up role player

Bronny cons: he’s not good at that or anything yet. At that size thats rough. These are scrubs he’s playing against and he needs time to find out what nba talent he might have

James Jr. can have a long career if he can become like a Mike Conley type of point guard. Nothing fancy. Get guys open looks and score when needed.

Not even real NBA players.

I don’t think any of those Kings players had NBA experience.

Adonis Arms had 32/11/5, is 26 years old, never played an NBA game and just made Bronny look like a kid off the streets. Guess who has an NBA contract?


Bronny just needs reps. Once he’s the starting lead guard for the lakers he can really show his stuff

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.

You’re usually a very good/logical poster, so I have a tough time believing that you actually believe this…but also don’t know you to be a super sarcastic poster either, so I’m confused haha.

That’s what makes him special. No one really knows what he is…

I love that his only pro was that he attempted to do something…not even that he did it successfully, just that he attempted to.

Any impressions on Ronan Sorkin from GSW fans? I kinda love that guy, he looks like a stiff, but he is sneaky athlete.

Mike Conley was a very, very good player in the NBA. Him not being fancy doesn't mean he wasn't very good. I know you know this, but I'm just saying. This Bronnie scrub will be lucky to be very, very good player in Germany, does not look like he can be that honestly. Like, can he be Maodo Lo? Yeah, good luck with that....

I can't figure out is everyone sarcastic now, or seriously playing the pretend game that this guy deserves to be here, we all know what this is. Even Thanasis, actually played some Euroleague basketball, he was bad, but ge got there. This guy did basically nothing in USC, but lets pretend he will be Mike Conley cause he's young. Thoussnds of players are 18 years old, maybe few of them will be good as Mike Conley, this guy definitely not in the running for that, does not seem like it.

The reality is that some love Lebron so much they hope/pray his terrible son is good too. I don't get it, but I don't love any athlete like that. Here's hoping Bronny figures something out and can be a useful player rather than some weird flex of Lebron's [not so soft] power.

You are severely underrating Mike Conley career. He fit many years was an all star level guard just was behind Steph, Dame, Russ and CP3 for the nod. Not to mention he lead a team as the 2nd option to the conference finals.

These types of posts are just so stupid. "He could have a great career if he was as good as another player" WHEN HE'S NOT. Conley absolutely dwarfs Bronny. WTF does "fancy" even mean?

lol
