If the Jazz take Bronny it means the old man is coming. If Lebron is here, the quality of roster fillers will improve. That would be exciting.
He's been playing his whole life. The story is that he didnt take it all that seriously/know he had potential to be a college player. So I guess there could be some hidden potential there that you wouldnt expect at 24. Most guys who are NBA prospects have been closely developed and prepped for a pro career (to some extent) since they were pre-teens.
I dont think it necessarily means that. But it means you have a potential "trade for Bronny and you (you being a team Lebron likes) can get Lebron" chip for however long Lebron's career last.
I think if Rich Paul/Klutch wants Bronny in Utah it will be because Utah is a spot you can go with soft media coverage, national media would be less interested in Bronny as a member of the Jazz, and they are a rebuilding team where minutes are up for grabs to some extent. Also think Bronny fits the mold of a Danny Ainge player. He's defensive minded, long, athletic, and beefy.

Risacher's team won Game 1 of their playoff matchup.
Think he had 12?

Only 1 in 5 2nd round picks get a second contract in the NBA. That number is probably higher for picks 30-40, but I don't think it's much higher.
Based on Bronny's length, athletecism, and the film I've seen, he has a good chance of being a good perimeter defender in the league. If he can develop his 3pt shot and offensive game a little more, he could be a 3&D guard in the league. Guys who can defend the perimeter and can hit 3's have become very valuable in the NBA.
He likely never makes it in the NBA, just like most 2nd round picks will most likely not make it in the NBA. The fact that he has a decent pathway to success is good enough for me to not hate picking him at 32. Also, picking highly recruited athletic freshman who are underwhelming in college in the 2nd round is not new and wouldn't be unique to Bronny.

Yeah, but it's pretty unique for guys w/ that background for his size. Usually if you disappoint at that size you're a 4 year guy. The whole near death thing gives him some leeway tho.
His comments were super weird because he used Wagner and Jaden McDaniels who are 2 very different players.
