This story is actually nuts His brother posted on Twitter saying he was basically being groomed/brainwashed by an older LDS woman who just finished her graduate degree--apparently they have been dating at least three years (Filipowski just turned 20, you do the math). Then Utah of all teams is the one to pick him. (Danny Ainge is a Mormon too FYI.)
TyTy was the 2nd rated PG behind Jaden Ivey. Often Ivey is just listed as SG, leaving TyTy as the number 1 rated by the so-called experts. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...lmgren-dyson-daniels-dalen-terry-on-the-rise/ This article talks about what you are saying. TyTy would have been mocked sooner if teams needed a PG. You can look up mock drafts of that year on Walter football database https://walterfootball.com/nbadraftdata2022.php He's a bust and I called it before the draft.
Let's see before we pass judgement, yeah Bronny will never be a superstar like his dad but who says he cannot become a valuable role player? All he has to do is following his dad's advice, learn to shoot, pass and defend. Who embodies the Overall Swiss Army Knife game better than a man named LBJ? It is a huge advantage and not that much pressure bc Lebron junior does not have the pressure or expectations to become a star. He was a 4 Star recruit before College therefore not totally hopeless.
The NBA being melodramatic and sensitive like Durant and meanwhile letting Royce White loose in the Draft.
Almost no offensive upside, hopefully, means we don't have to worry about him breaking out and keeping them relevant in 2027 and 2029 is my thought process. Especially when a player like Collier was still available at that pick.
I am a silly person? You make no logical sense. You compare seniors to freshmen … you go off on how you knew the 30th pick (Washington) would be a bust … You don’t have to like Reed Sheppard or believe he will be good (I don’t know - he will have to prove he is), but the basis you use to not like him is just bizarre.
Fact is you are basing everything on speculation from a small sample size Reed Sheppard 3P% Highschool..........37% College (1 yr)......52.1% ........starter ........42.9% 5 games ........reserve........54.3% 28 games NBA......................? (Yet to be determined) NBA players have greater speed, length, leaping ability, higher basketball I.Q., further distance. One hit wonder-itis ________
You are arguing with someone who told us KPJ was much better than FVV, Sengun is trash, that the Rockets would win 28 games last year and then once proven wrong claimed there was a NBA conspiracy to boost the Rockets wins. Truly unhinged individual, don’t waste your breathe.
Is there anyone else who can’t wait for Tankathon.com to update to the 2025 draft so they can get an early look at who we might get next year?
Pretty cool to have a 40" vertical, sharp-shooting, plus-defender, Bobby Sura Jr on the team. You can count the Rockets' sharp-shooters over the past 2 decades on one hand, while missing 3 fingers.
I can wait and see how he does, sure. BTW, the 4-star rating and McDonald's All-American selection were as fugazi as him being drafted.
Peeps like Chuck Hayes were NBA players for years whose only skill was Defense and taking charges.... Bron jr is basically undrafted without his dad sure. Dude's jumper looks good and he looks to have an NBA body for a guard ...
Hey now, Chuck Hayes earned every second of playing time and every cent that he was paid. Bronny and him could not be more different. We still have to wait and see, but you're out of line for bringing up Chuck Hayes like this.
That is curious. I think it depends on how he develops and how we want to start a game. I suppose as seniority plays out, Thompson will be the second unit but that could switch if Bari has reached his ceiling. We rich, bro.
