    While I understand the concept of not holding onto a player longer than they should, it's a little early to be already giving up on Scoot or acting like he's done nothing to show there's several areas of improvement already taking place.

    Also, I think the difference is Telfair wasn't explosive and not much of a jumper and was a reach even at the 13th pick.

    comparing telfair to scoot at this point is a trash take. I don’t want to use the word insane, so we’ll use “inaccurate or poor” in its place.

    One thing Bronny has going for him right now.

    Hes not playing with his dad. Have to think playing along side him will have some impact. Since LBJ commands the defense anyways. Bronny has probably caught more passes from LBJ in his life than from anyone else.

    I do figure he will provide his dad with a few dimes.

    This whole thing is a slow motion car wreck. Kid should've gone into dentistry or something.

    Oh damn.

    Do you think he will even see playing time then? Or do you think he will get some just based off the fact it’s Lebrons son and it is media headlines.

    Hey, he's probably no worse than Blevins. But playing on his Dad's team is a curse: if he gets minutes nobody will think it's on his own merits.

    Kinda wished we kept 14 and found a way to move up a couple spots for Buzelis

    He is fun to watch but 18 points on 18 shots isn't anything special.

    He was 1-6 on three-pointers today and is shooting 38% from the field and 28% on threes over 3 games.

    Coming into the draft, his entertaining skillset was a known, the big question was his shooting ability.

    I hope he improves but there's no guarantee.

    MIA got a keeper with Kel’el Ware. I don’t know how his D though. Super agile for 7ft. Musta been a reason he wasn’t taken higher

    The knock on him is that he can't shoot. If he can't shoot is he really any better than Toumani?

    He's the most chill dude on the planet, and that makes teams nervous.

    As much as I like what Camara brings on a nightly basis, I am not expecting him to be a good jump shooter. Yes, he can improve his 3-point numbers but I think Bruzelis will end up being a better offensive player..... despite his stats last year in the Gleague. Give him a year.
