No one pays attention to the careers of 55th picks but I can tell you for a fact that if a guy averages 5 points on 36% shooting in college he's not even going to be drafted under normal circumstances. A guy with those numbers is more likely to lose his scholarship than be drafted by the NBA.

Peyton Watson averaged 3.3 points on 32.2% shooting in college and was drafted first round.
He was indeed so bad in college.

He's literally one in a million and I had never heard of him until you mentioned him in this post. A bad college player almost nerve gets a shot at the NBA. Maybe he had amazing measurements or times at the combine but you almost never stink in college and then go to the NBA.
He will be alright.

None. but "they" dont wanna admit that. It doesnt fit the narrative they are trying to paint. Bronny James is going to be special. He has goat blood in them veins
[QUOTE=Real Men Wear Green;14947335]It's possible that he becomes a good player butI am just analyzing what his talents make him look like to me. If he wasn't James son as a basketball player he would have been a walk on or community college player. Until/unless he develops a real NBA- level skill set he's going to be a magnet for hate. I don't care for all the hate he gets either but that's what can happen when someone that already has so many advantages gets an NBA contract that they clearly aren't worth. Pippen and Payton Jr don't get hate like him because they earned their spots.
And he also catches hate because there are some crazy folks that hate his dad.[/QUOTE]
He’s short, but he’s more of a ball player than most famous sons. He shits on mjs kids. He just needs to learn to play. Time to sink or swim. It’s tough, but he has a shot. If he doesn’t get injured, that is.
And yea most people learn to shoot but he’s a baby. He has time. It’s about want now. Imo his time at usc showed he wasn’t that engaged. Now he has no obstacles, goodluck to him.

Marcus Jordan was never on an NBA roster but his college stats are far better. I didn't watch either of them play but with James averaging 5 points on 36% in college I don't see how he can be assumed to be better than anyone that made s college team.

He had that heart issue.
He is a better prospect due to athleticism imo.
I remember Jordan’s kids in college. Bronny is an explosive athlete. He can potentially play in the leeg. Mjs kids couldn’t have imo, or their path would be way harder.
Edit: i don’t think it is easy to understand how much having a heart attack and surgery would **** up your shape, rhythm, and mental. I am willing to give him a pass on that. I dislike bron as we know and bronny is benefitting in unique way. Still i wanna see him reach his potential which could be decent nba starter.

Bronny James has done nothing to show he's a better player than the 5ppg season tells us he is. Yeah he's athletic. So are all the youtubers making dunk videos. What makes him even as good as Mac McClung? If being athletic was enough the NBA would get flooded with guys that are not quite good enough to make the Olympics in track. That's not all there is to it. He has to develop a whole NBA skillset. It's possible but guys that need that much work and aren't big don't normally get guaranteed deals.
And he's this way with his dad giving him every possible advantage growing up in terms of the best coaches to develop his skills.

There you have it. RRR3 has convinced me. Bronny James Jr. just might be the next Peyton Watson.
:roll:
He sucks. It’s pretty obvious.
Lakers are a train wreck, can’t wait till lebaldo retires and they clean house
