You do realize he can go undrafted and still sign with a team.

 

Bronny will make a roster. His dad will make sure the Lakers sign him even if they don't draft him.

 

My thing is this kid is not ready to play at the next level yet. LeBron is trying to force him to the NBA just so he can play with him before he retires. 

You are completely correct here.  Bronny would not be drafted as a player.  I really don’t think he will be drafted in the first round and probably late 2nd
 

He is not good enough to make an NBA roster but the Lakers will give LeBron his wish

We are talking basketball and folks this women’s final 4 is must watch TV.  UConn vs Kaitlyn Clark up next with a chance to give South Carolina their first loss this season

Clarks only comparison is Pistol Pete which is legendary

That South Carolina team is the women’s version of UConn (men’s) but Iowa vs. UConn has the potential to be the game of the season regardless of whether it’s men’s or women’s hoops.

Clark vs. Bueckers is quite the showdown.

And speaking of SC, I’d love to see Dawn Staley get a crack at a men’s job should she want it. I’d take her over Hubert any day. Her ripping her girls when they were up 20 because they were slow to close out a three is what I love to see.

Man, absolutely Dawn Staley is the best coach in college basketball.  It is amazing what she has done, utmost respect for her

Unfortunately I think the refs will play a factor in State losing this game today.

 

The popular matchup is the 2 bigs Edey/Clingham to face off in the Nat'l championship.

 

 

I will still be rooting for State though. 

That’s not going to happen, if anything, officiating will lean towards State. They are drawing all of the viewers right now.

Their game against Duke was the most watched Elite Eight game since 2019 and it was the most watched telecast on Easter Sunday in 11 years.

America is following NCSU, if Purdue wins it’ll be because they were better.

People love an underdog, especially when they're likeable, which State is. I'm ok with them drawing ratings and getting a friendly whistle. It's not like State has gotten a lot of that over the last 40 odd years.

People like to blame the officials but in retrospect, the team that shoots better (FG%, 3PT%), rebounds better, and turns the ball over less usually wins.

If a team does all of that and still loses then we can start looking at free throw discrepancies but more often than not the players decide the game.

True. The only exception might be the NBA. Those refs are notorious for playing favorites and giving "superstar" calls.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
