What’s his report? He took a visit to Arizona and I’m intrigued.

Oh god, not this again. He's the 248th ranked prospect according to 247. So basically, Bronny is Cooper Flagg compared to Bryce.

Good kid, very humble, and has a good head on his shoulders. I always like rooting for the underdog, so I’m hoping he gets a fair shake. If he succeeds it will be due to his excellent work ethic.

Lol...

Regardless of the sarcasm, he was a high level prospect at some point as far as I know

It's not set in stone though. Prospects can make massive jumps in their development. Some are late bloomers. Some guys get to the league in their mid 20s as undrafted players and become valuable starters.

Not a serious prospect as of now. Likely they’re shopping him as a package deal with his AAU teammate Burries.

What happened to him? Did he just stagnate? I remember at one point, he was considered a fringe five star

He got in to basketball later than Bronny. I think he has the growth spurt and only then started taking it serious. So yeah he's not as serious and he lacks athleticism of Bronny.

I don't think he's a prospect but we will see in college.

He was so young that basically no one is a prospect yet, and the only players on the radar are NBA players’ kids and the handful of kids that are already giants.

This was also when people were still lying to themselved about he and Bronny’s height :lol:
