adamq Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I highly recommend the Game Theory podcast by Sam Vecenie.. He goes deep on NBA prospects and is my way of learning about these players every year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Who was the better NBA prospect, Bronny or Thanasis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkeyDoke21 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 30 minutes ago, redsoxsuck05 said: Who was the better NBA prospect, Bronny or Thanasis? Right now, Thanasis. Thanasis was drafted off of his own ability/upside. I don't think it's wrong to say he's kept a job due to nepotism, but I don't think it's fair to say he was drafted due to it. Giannis was scoring 7 ppg off the bench when Thanasis was drafted. Giannis didn't have that kind of pull in '14. You can't say the same about Bronny, yet. Honestly, I don't think he's staying in anyway. I think he's just working out to get a report, and his own idea, on what he needs to improve at to become a legit prospect. I'd also be shocked if LeBron were advising him to enter the league right now. He could potentially be a better prospect than Thanasis at this point next year, but he isn't currently.

I wouldn't spend a top 9 pick on that often injured fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him sliding like Cam Whitmore did, and I also can see a team in the lottery still taking him.

Old Guy Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Imagine having to leverage your services, in order to get your son drafted. That is the position LeBron finds himself in. I also have no doubt he will do it in a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
