How many 55 picks get the green light lol?


If you don’t look at his shooting, that looks like a pretty solid game


lol, especially if you leave out 3 turnovers and 0 assists.

Risacher runs like Corey Brewer who always seemed really athletically stiff until he wasn't. Still looks odd.

This is why I don't understand the hype he keeps getting. He's not good he's shown us for a full year. Accept it and stop mentioning his name you will be much more stress free.

Minny won the draft.

Tim Connelly stays being worth every cent and then some.

Dude is going to end up restocking this team with nothing but late 1st and 2nd round picks and be no worse off.

They have been hiding Bronny since high school. Always bringing up excuses about why he couldn’t do more or how it was actually better he didn’t do more. Looks like a kid that doesn’t even like playing in basketball games.

Hopefully he figures out whether this is what he wants to do…because he doesn’t play like someone who wants to maximize his talent. He just looks scared and doesn’t compete.

I think his basketball upbringing did him a disservice. He doesn’t even look like he can bring this ball up the court against a decent NBA defender..sad

I thought Guy Fieri forcing his kids on DDD was bad but Bronny in the NBA may be worse.

LeBron literally conned the NBA media into making his son into a star even though he's an awful basketball player. The kid is going to make millions simply due to the hype alone, even if he never averages even 5 points in the NBA.

I recorded the Pacers SL game to watch it. Couldn't make it to half time, just deleted it.

Woof goodness. Such awful basketball. It's why you can't trust anything you see in summer league. Made my eyes bleed.

I feel sorry for him. Imagine the pressure he is under. He's probably better than he has shown and would do better without the spotlight always being on him.

So many good things out of all these 2024 players, both young and old. I truly think we're going to look back on this draft as something unique, but special. A LOT of really talented players here...

Also, did Houston's coaching staff wash their polos with Houston's uniforms on accident? Honest question.

People have been saying he's "better than he's shown" since he was in high school. At what point are people going to realize he's just not good?

It's really the only explanation. Who intentionally buys clothes the color of whites washed with a new red beanie.

I guess him airballing floaters and paint shots in shootaround wasn't a fluke?




Can they send him back to college? Like Division 3 community college in the middle of nowhere…


His stat line (which I'm surprised no one is also calling out 3 turnovers, as a couple were pretty bad), makes us all feel a little like when we think "I could do better than some of these guys", there is actually a case for it now.

I can guarantee you if I was playing summer league I could easily match Bronny's 3pt shooting stats across all games.
