lmao
By DY_nasty Go To Post pac your guy made it
dude definitely went under the radar behind Zion, RJ, and Cam - didn't see him as an NBA big because of his role back then but he's definitely been putting in work.
All he has to do is beat out Mensah and he's got a job imo

NC State is letting an offensive lineman play basketball. show him on the prospect list.
6'9 275 (allegedly), but he doesn't carry it like Zion.

Because Adam asked, State and Syracuse are tied with 16.3 seconds left on ESPN2, Cuse is at the line for free throws.
Made them. We have a timeout with 13.7 seconds left. These last few will take 7 years.
This is the basketball we have in America tonight, it's either this or acknowledge your families.
edit: 7 years flew by because that tends to happen with age. Syracuse won.

By reilo Go To PostHow many steps did you record in that time
Not enough.
By diehard Go To PostI bet he's sneaky athleticIf he keeps up what he's been doing all season people should care about his athleticism approximately as much as they should have cared about CP3's.

No, you're correct, the scene in Space Jam isn't real.

By DY_nasty Go To PostThe fact Bronny can't sneak into this year's lottery is wildHe shouldn't be in draft discussions at all, there's a difference between "not very exciting upside" like a lot of lotto picks this year and being worse than Jalen Hood-Schifino on both ends.
By DY_nasty Go To PostThe fact Bronny can't sneak into this year's lottery is wildBronny can't even get mins in college
Wild that next year's draft might have Ron Harper's other son, Jason Richardson's kid, and Peja's boy.

It's simple to make the NBA, all these sons of former players flooding D1 and the NBA have convinced me.
Mike was the GOAT and that wasn’t enough for his kids to get drafted
Meanwhile Bronny being listed in the same graph as his teammates who have stats, and his box just says winning player

The Athletic basically had a hit piece on him a few days ago. I can't believe Klutch let this get printed.

But … it was also the only play of consequence James made all night, in a game USC eventually lost in crushing fashion in double overtime. The former four-star recruit played just 14 minutes — including none in either overtime period — and finished with one of his more pedestrian stat lines all season: 2 points on 1-of-2 shooting, with one missed free throw, one rebound, two assists, and one turnover. Saturday included, he’s only averaging 5.7 points per game this season, with a career-high 11 in a 15-point loss at Arizona.
Except, one problem: While LeBron was in Indianapolis for the NBA All-Star Game over the weekend, his son couldn’t get off the bench Saturday night for USC — which at 10-16 overall, 4-11 in the Pac-12 and 103rd in KenPom is one of the most disappointing teams in college basketball. Enfield subbed the younger James in for Collier, a projected lottery pick, late in regulation with USC clinging to a two-point lead. Classic offense-for-defense switch. But Colorado guard K.J. Simpson drove past James anyway, and dumped the ball off for a game-tying dunk with under four seconds left. James at least made a nice inbounds pass to Kobe Johnson that afforded the Trojans a last-second shot — which Johnson missed — but the damage was done.
James didn’t re-enter the game thereafter.
Take away that bloodline, and Bronny James is a multi-year college player, one who needs to continue honing his skills. Reminder: He is not even a starter now, on one of the most disappointing teams in the worst of all six power conferences, per KenPom. (USC was picked to finish second in the Pac-12 and was ranked No. 21 in the preseason AP poll. The Trojans are one game ahead of Oregon State for last place in the league). What about that suggests this guy is ready for the NBA next season? Absolutely nothing. The disparity in effectiveness between him and Collier — the consensus No. 1 recruit in this freshman class, who has been talked about as the potential No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft — wasn’t stark on Saturday; it was a chasm. Collier finished with 25 points, a season-best nine assists, three steals, two thunderous blocks — both on 6-foot-11, 265-pound Buffaloes big man Eddie Lampkin Jr. — and only one turnover in almost 42 minutes of action. He scored the game-tying basket at the end of the first regulation, and Enfield leaned on him like a cane the entire evening.
Hollinger noted Bronny’s strong frame and feel for the game as positives. But he also noted how the USC freshman, as all the stats and game film show, struggles to score consistently at any level right now. Hollinger suggested that Bronny’s upside might eventually be akin to that of Gary Harris.
Harris shot 41% on 4.6 attempts as a freshman and was Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Are they expecting Bronny to suddenly learn how to shoot? I
assume he's talking about his career arc than actual play but that's not who I'd have picked.
By pilonv1 Go To PostThe Athletic basically had a hit piece on him a few days ago. I can't believe Klutch let this get printed.Yeah realistically he is a guy absolutely nobody would be talking about, not even draft sickos, if it weren't for his dad. He's like the ~ 1000th best player in college basketball this season. Even if he doesn't get drafted (which he probably will) he's at the very least wasting the time of a bunch of scouts who might otherwise be identifying genuinely good overlooked players.

is this an actual shitty lottery or people just think it's shitty because the top guy are mostly non americans?

Yes
By DiPro Go To Postis this an actual shitty lottery or people just think it's shitty because the top guy are mostly non americans?Any draft where whoever you pick at 1 feels like a reach is a bad draft

Was close to not reading that after seeing the writer say Doc Rivers would be someone you would want to hear from during a world event.

He is a gleaguer at best and will probably just go be an influencer after he finishes school
i just don't get forcing him into the league.
i mean if he's a borderline nba talent and you give them a leg up, sure, whatever but having him like Thanasis out there being a joke to everyone is just cruel.
let him develop and find his path.

By DiPro Go To Posti just don't get forcing him into the league.But think about all of the marketing opportunities of Lebron's final season where he's most definitely NOT Tim Dunaning it where they get to say "Goodbye to one era of Lebron James, welcome to the next era of Bronny James" and all of the James #23 and James #0 jersey sales.

Funny enough, this eliminates Indianapolis. A bit on the nose. I guess they really only want to host them in big markets going forward.
I don't think New Orleans qualifies anymore? Which last I checked was a beloved ASG destination.
I think Salt Lake qualifies for that though?
Ehhh actually, probably doesn't make the 20 international flights requirement.

By Ɛsρi Go To PostGuess they’re just gonna rotate LA, NY, MiamiYou forgot Las Vegas
By reilo Go To PostIt should still qualify except for maybe the flight stuff, but I'm sure the league won't let that get in the way of NOLA hosting another All-Star game.

If the league is going to make exceptions then why make it a requirement?
By diehard Go To PostTheir website lists 5 international flightsso they can have a justification to never go back to flyover country again.

Cleveland/SLC/Indy at all, let alone all in a row is brutal for what they want ASG to be

By domino Go To Postso they can have a justification to never go back to flyover country again.So you think not having any rules but just not selecting a city is somehow better than having set rules and making exceptions to them?
Cleveland/SLC/Indy at all, let alone all in a row is brutal for what they want ASG to be
I'm seeing that Las Vegas has 21 international flights so i guess there's the answer to "why 20?"
By domino Go To Postso they can have a justification to never go back to flyover country again.Those places forced them to have it there? Weird they have that much power.
