I think he?s around 6?11 like Tatum.  :D

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He doesn't look 6-10 in those clips. He looks 6-7.

He does look like he has long arms though.
I had the exact opposite thought. I thought he looked taller.

Either way, he's a more exciting prospect than Anton Watson who really wasn't showing much.


I was actually pretty excited about Anton Watson. I thought he could be our new Grant Williams-type player. I really need to temper my expectations when it comes to these 2nd round picks lol.

And to think we could have had Bronny James!

Who has been looking good of late in the G-League apparently.

He struggled earlier in the competition but has been killing it over the last month or so. I have only seen some highlights but they are impressive. He is showing handles / moves / drives / step backs. Much more than he showed in college.

Bronny has been scoring 20ppg and doing so efficiently. He is rebounding. Handling the ball. Passing okay. Sort of a 20-5-5 threat. Getting 2 steals a night. Very good in transition.

He looks a player.

A lot of comments about how he is starting to trust his body again for the first time since those heart issues he had a year ago in college. There is a real difference in his physicality and in his aggressiveness. And it has led to a major uptick in performance. More easy shots close to the hoop which he hadn't been creating for himself before. And he is hitting his outside shot at a solid clip as well. We will see whether that outside shooting lasts or not. But it is the physical / athletic / assertive plays that are impressive. Plays he was reluctant to make in college and not showing in limited NBA minutes.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Whatever size he is, 5'2" or 7'7", I'm guessing the other nba teams knew as well.  Anyone else could have probably signed him and did not.  So keep your expectations low.

I've got pretty low expectations.

I'll give him a look, four star recruit going into college.
