Bronny James enter the transfer portal

[Palatine]

It would makes sense for Bronny to take his talents to South Beach.

UConn wouldn't pay him millions but it would make him a better basketball player.

 

[FlexOnEm]

Hard no here, but we won’t be getting involved anyway. Very limited upside and would create a huge distraction for the program. If he wasn’t LeBron’s son he’d be going low D1. Duquesne seems like a good spot.

 

[JAdams4Reel]

I could see Ohio State and Duquesne being the front runners if he decides to come back to college basketball

I'm sure the internet will look at this as a rational move that many college players do every year to gauge where they stand with scouts and not have a meltdown over perceived nepotism and conspiracy theories involving his father.

Surely that's what will happen...

There's nothing rational about anyone with his stats playing for an under .500 team declaring for the draft. I'll tell him the feedback he'll get, work on everything.

Bronny needs a coach that can develop him into the type of player he could be later on down the road. No clue if he’d even be interested but he’d seriously benefit from having a guy like Kelvin Sampson work with him. Someone who can develop him into a 3 and D, connector type of prospect. SDSU could make some sense & playing under a guy like Dutcher. Little more low key, but still getting high level of development, especially defensively.

 

[uconnyankee]

Just read he’s going into Draft….
Will keep eligibility (just in case)…

 

[mauconnfan]

What a joke imagine a team taking him just because of his dad and leaving an actual potential NBA talent out?? Ridiculous

 

[Inyatkin]

Way worse players than him declare for the draft every year.
Also, if you're drafting outside the top few picks it's pretty much a crapshoot. Maybe someone takes Bronny in a Thanasis situation. Could be worthwhile for a team that thinks a 40-year-old LeBron would put them over the top.

And they're laughed at by fans, scouts tell them to go back to school and work on everything.

The gap between the top few picks and Bronny James is as massive as it gets and there's easily a couple hundred draft eligible players who are better than him. It's funny that whosurdaddy gave this a like because the scenario you conjured up strikes at the heart of nepotism and conspiracy theories involving his father he seems to have a problem with.

It’s feedback…Give it a rest. Everyone knows he’s not entering the draft

Oh it certainly could happen. LeBron has been very open that he wants to play a season with his son. He’s going to try to get a team to draft him since his time in the league is coming to an end, in his own words. Bronny was the 8th leading scorer on a very average PAC-12 team. Shot 36% from the floor and 26% from 3. He could be decent on a mid major but unless he drastically improves every area of his game there’s no NBA future there.

 

[FairwayFlyer]

I don't want LeBron any where near our program

They do? Social media is blowing up about him and his dad joining forces and whether teams should use their top 5-10 pick on Bronny to lure in Lebron.

Finkelstein thinks he'll be a Laker...

You said everyone knows he's not entering the draft and Adam Finkelstein who runs 247 scouting and has NBA connections says he thinks he'll stay in the draft and play on the Lakers next season.

You're talking out of your butt again.

Finkelstein gave his opinion. He said he’s always thought he was heading to the league, insinuating this is a long held belief rather than a new development.

You should know that everyone is a hyperbole and doesn’t literally mean everyone in the world, also.

And again, feedback is pretty useful, from people in the league he is trying to make. You’re dismay for LeBron is showing.

 

[SubbaBub]

Worst kept secret. LeBron is going to make someone waste a 2nd round pick on his kid to sign him. He's been pretty open about this for a long time. It's also probably the last year he has enough juice to demand it.

You seem really mad about this. Most players who declare for the draft are ignored, not laughed at

2nd round picks are crapshoot, so don't think you can really call it wasting if it gets you a top 20 player for a year or two.

Furious, I smashed everything in sight.

You seem very tied up in Lebron's nuts.

No, see, they're passing on the next Jokic to make social media happy, or so I'm gleaning from this thread

UConn wouldn't pay him millions but it would make him a better basketball player.

I'll assume he can be a good player. UConn has shown they coach guys up. I'd take him in a minute if Hurley thinks he will make the team better. And I'm not concerned about interference from LeBron, Hurley has attained sufficient status in the sport and the respect that comes with it.
