i also had the Caruso comp for him in HS.
But seeing him in SL, he's really far off from that, Caruso was a combo guard in college, and has NBA level handles an way above average passing ability for an SG.
To be fair he is 18, and Caruso was like 22 years old his rookie year, but Bronny would have to develop a TON.
Lu Dort type I think is a better hope at this point.
a short but heavy SG who can defend up and hit 3's.

Is Bronny getting a guaranteed contract more harmful than Kevin Porter or Miles Bridges?

Shut him down for the summer is wild
It's really tough to see though. Has the tools to be a solid football player IMO.
Funny enough…his childhood AAU teammate just did this, after going undrafted from OTE
Who is Jah Jackson, Georgia's newest recruit?
Just a few months ago, Jackson appeared headed to a pro basketball career. Now, he's headed to Georgia as a football recruit.

Yea you said it right. A better HOPE.
ADVERTISEMENTCome on
Then trying to flip this into some morality convo talking about some damn, "We shouldn't be bashing kids."
Now pro Basketball player is excused from being evaluated.
I don't get it.

Did you see Kira Lewis in college? Shoot, Kira Lewis in summer league. He was like 18 years old here
Emoni Bates looks more of a pro, than Bronny. Again, take Lebron James out of this. This isn’t normal at all man
. 4 year guaranteed contract for the 55th pick, who hasn’t shown at any level that he’s worth the salt. It can get really nasty

P has been one of the few who are being realistic
Pressure the ball, 36% on open catch and shoot 3s. 20 mins a night or so. After some years that what it’ll look like if he sticks. And he will be given every opportunity to stick

I seen Kira Lewis in the NBA , he wasn’t it….I don’t put much stock in Summer League..Emoni Bates was the # 1 prospect at a time something Bronny has never been…I’m not debating if he’s worthy of the contract or not,but people that are bashing him are doing so out of an agenda and that nasty AF whether you agree or not.

This doesn't help Shaq.
Also, if the only thing you can say is "He's a great kid" that's indirectly admitting dude ain't got IT.

You have to blame the media too…because there was a dude on USC (Kobe Johnson was averaging 11ppg, as well as four other players averaging more than Bronny at USC during this time ) and they left him out the “trifecta” for this
This is all like a microcosm of Klutch, Bron, social media, influence network and just how terrible basketball discussion and media has been since like 2016 (and the world in general). I see what you taking about

He’s probably further along at his age than some of the guys that got taken in this draft were when they were 19. There’s some dudes that started at schools you’ve never even heard of, transferred a few times and wound up getting taken first round 4 years later.
This obviously doesn’t mean Bronny will develop like that too. But I don’t think it’s impossible. Needs to be locked in the gym with a shooting coach 24/7.
And yes, him getting the guaranteed contract is certainly a step more than it should’ve been, but Bron has the pull like that.

A lot of bronny’s superlatives are about his character and not his stats. He’s a good kid with theoretical ability at this point.You have to blame the media too…because there was a dude on USC (Kobe Johnson was averaging 11ppg, as well as four other players averaging more than Bronny at USC during this time ) and they left him out the “trifecta” for this

One of the hardest nicknames ever. Them cats from the 70s had some of the slickest names for real.
Jellybean! To Bean. Always thought that was harder than “mamba” for real. Rest easy. Dope he played for the clippers and had that dunk on the lakers. Crazy what turned out to be.
