Okay it’s Taurean Prince bro , admin stop forcing ts

I owe it to Bronny to write the truth about him. The truth isn’t sexy.. it’s only worth about 14 likes. This is a masterful tweet as it showcases the discrepancy in how fans consume basketball vs GMs/coaches/talent evaluators etc. When evaluating talent, those who are paid to do so have a simple rule: how does this player impact winning? The game is about a bucket—how does that player help our team get buckets and defend buckets—what’s the net impact? Hence, the increasing utilization of “advanced” analytics. Scouting isn’t an easy job. The NBA job is largely projection. A lot of it is arbitrary. The 6’8” 240lb kid from STVSM high school may be better than the kid at Syracuse who just won a national championship against grown men. I said years ago… Bronny James will pass up a lot of his peers on draft night who were/are better isolation scorers as the first options on their HS/college teams. I was right. Contrary to popular belief, basketball isn’t just players taking turns iso’ing in 5 on 5. It can be—and it often is at LA Fitness—but that there’s so much nuance to the game that the PAID evaluators are obsessed with and the average consumer writes off as “trivial”. Championships are won in the margins—getting that KCP/Reaves/Caruso type player on such a value contract. You can be great at defense and be an overall bad basketball player. Same goes for the opposite, but it’s not viewed that way by the fans and highlights culture. Simply (not so simply put), Bronny James does a lot of things on the basketball court better than many of his peers in his draft class. If you’ve followed him throughout AAU and HS you’d see that he’s been doing those things for years. He’s consistently played with better talent than himself and has found ways to contribute to winning on a basketball floor without the ball in his hands. Every step on a basketball player matters. That’s not hyperbole. One misstep and you’re getting clowned in the film room. His success in the g league doesn’t surprise me at all. 6’2 210lb with a 40 inch vert, 6’7 wingspan, high IQ, good shot mechanics, high motor, good communicator, great lateral agility, solid transition defense, solid screen navigation, functional handle, solid passing and vision, great weak side help, good on ball defense, raw floater ability, great character, 20 years old. Are we really still asking why that was worth a 55th overall pick? Because if you know ANYTHING about the draft, there was nothing crazy about that selection. In fact you could genuinely argue that his name being LeBron Jr. ended up hurting his draft position more than it helped. I’m not convinced he shouldn’t have gone a bit sooner than that. 6 players in the second round of the 2014 draft ten years prior never saw an nba minute. 17 never played more than 100 games. It’s so hard to get long term NBA players in the 2nd round. It’s a scratch off ticket. Jack Gholke just went off for 30 against Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham and just watched them go lottery as he went undrafted. Leading ncaa scorers year after year going undrafted. Champions. It’s never been about merit or stats or accolades. For the 2nd round, you’re trying to find some long term nba players. Like a needle in a haystack. For basketball reasons, Bronny James was an obvious 35-60th pick in many circles. In basic terms, evaluators said this is not currently an nba player, but I’d take my chances on him over a lot of these other guys on being a long time contributor. I can’t believe I’m explaining the nba draft, but the discourse on his draft selection has gotten so mind numbingly shallow and ignorant that I actually have to. Now for Bronny, his growth has been remarkable. And his floor work (what he does to impact games without the basketball) has continued to improve. There’s a lot of a guys on tanking teams right now that may drop 15-30 points as a 1-2 option but offer less value than Bronny on the court as 4-5 long term. Truth. Stamp it.

A lion would never drive under the influence, but a Tiger Wood.

BRONNY JAMES IN THE G LEAGUE TONIGHT: 26 POINTS 7 REBOUNDS 5 ASSISTS 9/12 FG 6/8 3P (CAREER-HIGH) GO OFF BRONNY. 🔥🔥

????????? are we being deadass ?

Leave the punditry before the punditry leaves you @Carra23

@serge__15 Doesn’t look like a Laker fan criticizing Luka in these receipts, DOES IT??? And yeah of course here you come tryna shift the narrative as always…..from “he can only dream of defending” to “let’s see if he makes all defense team”. You never change

@H__Gerry What L?You tagged me. Nobody criticizes Luka's defense more than Laker fans. If you think he's a great defender, OK. We'll see if Redick assigns him to guard the best perimeter/wing opponent or if he makes All-defense team😂😂

Nah no way , he should stick to what @serge__15 says and not play defense. This is wrong

@serge__15 So a leader in steals doesn’t mean he’s putting up good defense?😂 just accept this L. As for the hunting , go watch Brunson , Jaylen Brown , Jamal Murray stats when they tried hunting Luka this March……WATCH THE GAMES

@H__Gerry You know steals don’t necessarily mean good defense?😂😂I like to see tesms hunting him on defense when they need buckets

fuck it everybody knows who the real MVP is in this damn league #LUKAMVP

Shai had 25 points tonight with 0/10 for 3 and 12 FTA Luka has 24 points at the halftime with 4/6 for 3 and 2 FTA Level is just different

MVP voters... and you think Luka Dončić ever has a chance? 😂

Defense to offense 💪
