TSJ 1st round or we riot.
Complete rubbish that Bronny is on this list. He should thank his father for his last name.
This is the biggest joke….

The NBA drafts on potential. Bronny has more potential to have the last name James.
Yep he averaged less than 5 points per game on a bad team.

Reminds me of this hilarious graphic:
Here are some other good captions for bronny
"Has laker season tickets"
"Knows Dwayne Wade"
"Can get you a sprite whenever you want"
"Not legally a prince"
"Prefers the original space jam"
Same way Bronny was a McDonald's all-American
Well, sure. Forget the Domask argument. Would you rather have Bronny, as a sophomore, or Guerrier... as a sophomore?
Prefers the original space jam, hahaha!
Watched the recent interview of CoHawk. How can you not like him even more? Talks about not wanting to take away from fellow Illini if he came back, the mistakes he made, some of the intricacies of the portal deadline (and how bad that is), etc. Shows how thoughtful he is. Hope he gets a good deal in the draft. I'd like those tournament runs (BTT champ and E8) as our last memories of him as an Illini.
This wouldn’t hurt recruitment …
Number 11 to the Bulls....1 time
I don’t know if LeBron’s pull with the front office is quite what it was after being ousted in the first round. They have only made it out of the first round once in the last 4 seasons.
He has fought off Father Time more effectively than just about anyone else, but the cliff is approaching fast.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski added depth to that with his report, based on his conversations with Rich Paul, LeBron's agent.
"The idea of them playing together is not a priority, it's not foremost, at least any longer, in LeBron James' mind," Wojnarowski said.
It’s not a priority anymore bc no team is wasting a pick on him Bronny shot 32% from 2, 26 from 3 and 67 from the line He’s not even good enough to play on USC’s team this year let alone an NBA team

LeBron will force the Lakers to take him with 2nd rd pick or as UFA so he can play a few games with him
Nevermind, I see Emerson already posted how he's not able to force moves. LBJ is done for the year and will be 40 next season.
I thought a few of the players with great showings at Portsmouth usually earn combine invites. Is that not the case? Did any make it this year, with how well Marcus did there, I expected to see him on list.

looking at box scores, he had 18 pts in first game but didn’t stand out in the other games.

I can understand a little of shading Bronny for getting invites or accolades based on his name, but he was a top-20 prospect in high school largely based on his talent. And in terms of his performance this season, do people forget that he missed the entire summer and the better part of the fall after suffering cardiac arrest and undergoing surgery for a heart defect?
For the record, I absolutely don't think he is NBA ready and another year in college would do him wonders for development at the right program and situation, but it's not even been 6 months since he was cleared to play.
