This is exactly the point,skills wise he wasn’t even close to being a Top 20 prospect in his class and and should have never been a burger boy in my opinion.There was a lot of hype and public relations campaign by his father’s camp in order to get him rated that high.His younger brother is more of an NBA prospect than he is.

Portsmouth hasn't been an event for relevant NBA prospects for years, and Domask is not an NBA prospect at all, he just fundamentally doesn't play that style of basketball.
The overrating of Bronny James has been absurd and I ultimately just feel bad for the kid, but in partial defense of his combine invite, even though he shouldn't be a potential draft prospect, the reality of his father's potential availability this offseason and his desire to play with his son means Bronny IS a draft prospect, and so giving front offices a view of, frankly, "how far away from being an NBA player is this kid?" is valuable to them from a scouting perspective.
Thanks. I saw him on a list of top 5 performers at the event, so I thought he did better.
Not sure about CH as an NBA player. Not enough O to be a 3, not strong enough to be a 4. Classic tweener. Waiting for some honest feedback from NBA scouts before he decides on anything else is still a good idea. Coming back to IL or another college team might be in his best long term interest. Work on weaknesses and have a prominent role while improving draft stock. I'd be shocked if he's anywhere near the 1st round in this draft. Tail end of 2nd round/undrafted more likely.

Given his age and looking at not just the trajectory of his improvement the last 3 years, but also what level he is right now (I.e. ppg, rpg, etc) I don’t see how another year of experience at college and adding another year to his age is going to make him any more NBA ready than he is now.
Sell your talents to the highest college bidder, bank the money and plan on a good career playing over seas.
Bronny being an McD's AA was solely on his name. Complete nepotism. Dude averaged like 11 points a game (pretty sure there were some Cali HS playoff games he didn't even score), undersized CG from the beginning and was never the best player on Sierra Canyon EVER.
His HS ranking was a complete joke that was generated to drive traffic and clicks and those expectations clearly hurt him as well, as he got totally exposed at the P5 D1 level.
Talent wise, Bronny was closer to a Reggie Bass than any of the top 20 guys in his class and that's a fact.

If that happens, then Eversley and Karnišovas will be fired, and justifiably so. If the Bulls want TSJ, then they should trade down to get a couple of positions in the 2nd round or a late first round pick, as TSJ is probably back end of the first round at best case scenario.
To be clear, I hope that TSJ goes high in the draft, but I do not want the Bulls to overpay to get him.

I think he will shop that around to various teams, as he has ability to opt into free agency. I believe you are correct though...I think the James' will be a package deal, and it comes down to which team will bite first (if they want Lebron).

I’m moderately annoyed by the Pacers, but think it would be a good landing spot for TJ with how fast they play.
I don't know anything about the 5s on his team but I'm anxious to see what he can do defensively not going against another team's center. Hopefully he can show a great deal of versatility.
Does anyone know why TSJ is not participating in the 5 on 5 on Tuesday? Is it because of legal matters or was this a choice by TSJ?
There's only so many games each day, so Shannon could be playing the next day. They also try to keep players from the same school separated.
Hawkins' combine stats were uninspiring.
6-8.5 and worse in shooting/vert than last year. I assume his knee is playing a part.

An excellent set of responses, Terrence. You look cool, calm, collected, confident, and innocent…
They have a lot of young wings. Not that he couldn’t compete but not sure the wing is an area of need for them. Mathuran is not playing due to injury.

he seems prepared, being in front of the media. I don't see him as someone who's overly confident or nervous. His responses are solid.
Coleman actually playing a pretty solid game so far. 7 points (1/3 from 3), good passes, brought up the ball. Seemed nervous early but settled in
