No he wasn't the best player on his high school team. This LA Times article talks about how he wasn't consistently dominant and took a backseat to other players on his team. It also talks about people questioning the legitimacy of his high recruiting rating and McDonald's All American selection. Your entire post, especially the part in bold, is quite the 180 and contradiction to your previous posts. "Widely considered a lottery pick going into his freshman year." Talk about hyperbole. He was only considered a potential lottery pick by morons like ESPN who have a vested interested in making sure Bronny is a story unlike MJ's son who quietly played for UCF and never went pro. "NBA GMs want to see Bronny." If he's "certainly not ready for the league," then no they don't. NBA GMs aren't putting their jobs on the line - without behind the scenes incentive - and wasting evaluation opportunities on guys that aren't even the slightest bit NBA ready. There are a number of players on the G League combine list that are more NBA ready than Bronny by quite a bit. Unfortunately for them, they don't have a nepotism card up their sleeve. Bronny is a very talented basketball player and I don't have ill-will towards him. Based on talent & performance alone, none of us would even be talking about Bronny. The only reason he's a conversation piece is his dad making sure the spotlight is intensely focused on his son.

Committed to Kent State. Kent should actually have a pretty good receiving corps now. Whether they have someone to throw them the ball may be a different story…

I don't dislike him at all. Just noting he isn't an NBA player. I watched the Cavs yesterday. It was a savagely aggressive game between a bunch of freakishly good players. B James doesn't fit that description.

I wouldn't waste your time arguing. Per kenpom, USC was the 85th ranked team. There are over 350+ D1 basketball programs. That's far from below average. In fact, they would have steamrolled the MAC this season. It seems people have an odd hatred for Bronny. Every year you see players "declare" for the draft without hiring an agent that way they can be evaluated by NBA scouts. They then return to college for another year. Even mediocre MAC players that had no chance of getting drafted have done that in the past. That's almost certainly going to be the case here with Bronny. There are only 60 players drafted per year. Of those 15-20 are international players. That means only 40-45 collegiate players get drafted per year. Of those maybe 10 will have an NBA career longer than 5 seasons. Odds are slim for any of these guys unless you're a generational talent at the very top of the draft board.

Yes. Context is really important here. He was a true freshman who missed five months after collapsing on the floor back in July. Once he did return, he was on a strict minutes restriction for the first 8-9 games. I'm guessing there was some mental trauma mixed in there that he had to deal with, too. Going back to school and playing his sophomore season without missed time and without any restrictions would be the best thing for him. He absolutely has NBA potential, but will take some good development first. He may even need to go three years in college because of how his freshmen year unfolded. The worst thing for him would be to go pro now because while the potential is absolutely there, he's certainly not ready for the league. (P.S. No. there weren't any true freshmen at Akron this year who could've cracked USC's rotation)

3 words- "Larry Craig Bobblefoot."

The good guys win again in Central Michigan, they’re 8-3 in the last eleven games. This team is putting it together. I would not be disappointed if they continued this run and earned a trip up here on the 22nd. It would be a nIce to have the underclass experience that. They’ve definitely put the work in.

If his name was Joe Smith, he would be transferring to San Jose State or something similar.

Bobbleheads are moronic, if Akron had a throwback bobblehead with the Townhouse on one side and the Plazma Alliance rendition on the opposite side, it might be interesting to me.

This^^^^ might be the perfect solution to fixing the JAR

Was he even the best player on his high school team?

Another year? At best, he is a below average player at a below average program in an OK conference. There are hundreds of players who could produce what he did at USC. There were guys on Akron's roster who could have produced what he did at USC. The NBA is the elite of the elite. He Enrique Freeman has a better shot at the NBA and I'm not sure about how great his shot is.

I do. He was widely considered a lottery pick coming into his freshman year but obviously struggled last season. I do think part of that was missing time from the cardiac arrest episode he suffered last summer. There's talent there, so I can see scouts wanting to see him. I do think he'd be best served going back to school another year, though.

Great pass from DeAndre…

True. I'm sure in like 50 years the arena will collapse in on itself forcing UA to actually do something to fix it.

I had such high hopes. It’ll be interesting to see how his career goes.

Steele Wasel was the second coming of Chandler Kincade.
