Bronny’s ceiling is Frank Ntilikina

Honestly good outcome. Browny is the 55rh pick. Knicks picked frank in the top 10

Rockets second line looks sick. Thompson, Reed, whitemore, Eason and adams

This guy gives some classic coaching rants about Bronny's summer league play against the Heat.

This guy makes good points but his delivery is brutal. Do people like this kind of thing?

I think his ranty delivery is kind of the point and the joke, my friend.

Reed Sheppard aka Cocaine Curry

Good nickname or nah?

Nah. Nicknames based on other players are never good, except as jokes, like "Meth Curry" for Tyler Johnson. How about another "The __________ Mamba"? FOH.

For Sheppard, I could get behind IRS or Taxman (his full name is Isaiah Reed Sheppard).

Yeah, it's bad. Too illicit-drug-related for such an apparently clean-cut guy. Also, he has a ways to go before I'd even call him "Discount Curry" (a la Sengun and Jokic), much less Cocaine Curry. And yes, nicknames based on other players are lame.

If he's actually a career 45%+ shooter from three as it appears he may be, then IRS might work in reference to the "death and taxes" phrase; as in, if it goes up, it's going in. It could also relate to his game being kind of fundamental, "boring," below the rim/maybe not even at the rim. Like an accountant. Or his ability to rack up numbers. Like an accountant. IRS feels pretty easy unless something better comes along.

I'm not opposed to skin-color based nicknames, but they have to be perfect, and Cocaine Curry isn't even remotely close.

If he's really as Kentucky as his mom and dad are, then something to do with that would be awesome. (The state, not necessarily the school.)

Bronny might be the worst player ever in nba history

My nba comparison and high ceiling is Gabe Pruitt a worse version

Hes so bad i cant even make a real comparison , jose from La fitness is a good comp

A worse maliki flynn , john crotty without the IQ

John Crotty would run circles around James Jr., even on an exercise bike.

Bronny is bad , real bad

When James said Bronny is better than some current nba players last year who in the world was he talking about? Dont think i have seen a player as bad as Bronny play in a regular season game.

[Rainwater]

Loved Carrington, Sarr, and Risacher in the last game. Sarr and Risacher were better than I thought they would be

I think this draft is going end up being a lot stronger than people thought. Sarr moves and shoots like a guard and is 7 feet tall. Covers ground patrolling the middle like Adebayo on defense. His length is amazing, and he can really move his feet to get a close out. He's going to be an elite defender in this league. His footwork and movement is so fluid for his size. Sheppard showed a lot of ability tonight to create space off the dribble and really made it look too easy. His range is ridiculous, and he has no fear. He's going to be a killer you can already tell. Risacher is probably the most NBA ready and looked solid. Great left hand, and you can tell the game comes to him. Very mature player with a high basketball IQ. Quite of number players have looked promising so far.

Yeah, this draft might be better than expected. The worse draft of all time might have been overblown.

Yea, but Jose is a really good hang though. always down for a couple of beers after we play.

Ya, I have no idea why people thought Sarr was going to bust. His defense alone will keep him in the league for a while.

From his highlights he looked extremely raw, and offense didn't look impressive. So, it's understandable. He could turn out to be a poor man's KG.

It's ridiculous this thread has turned into the Bronny thread.

Just thinking about the scrub guards Kerr played in the past, as bad as they were, they were still miles better than Bronny. It just shows the level of talent required to be in the NBA unless your father pulled some strings to get you in.

This stunt was all for Lebron to fulfill his narcissistic ego. Bronny doesn’t need the money, but if wants his allowance and inheritance, he has to please the old man.

Let’s stop talking about him starting now.

People sleeping on Rockets bigtime.
Is what I said yesterday in a thread asking who will be play off teams in the west. Didnt they miss Eason almost entire last season too? That man was one of the best forward defenders in the league. Hope he comes back strong.

For some reason, i would love calling him accountant I don't know why, maybe because they made a movie called Accountant, where Ben Affleck shoots people? I dont even know, never seen the movie, but poster suggested hes accountant who shoots people... wtf am i talking about?

Yeah, Accountant works for me.
