6’1.5” 210 pounds with a 6’7” wingspan and 40.5” maxvert

His agility drills were also great. Dude has 0.0% chance at the nba at his size and shooting skill, but good lord be is a prototype DB

They swivel. Apparently he looked very fluid in the agility drills. Dude seems like a great athlete jsut doesn’t seem like his skillset is very good. Which is why football seems much better for for him

Based on lebrons flopping skills, his kids should play soccer.

Wouldn’t make it through one full contact practice much less a full training camp.

Why? And it’s a DB. Deion is the best ever and hated contact more than anything

And Baby Flop is nowhere near the level of athlete that Deion was and that doesn’t even begin to cover his level of skills.

I was going to do this thread today.

quote:

The 6-foot-2 guard has looked great in predraft workouts leading up to the combine, working out with other Klutch clients Rob Dillingham and KJ Simpson. Bronny is by no means a finished product, but he has the foundation to be a productive roleplaying guard at the NBA level with how well he can shoot the 3-ball, his quick decision making and the way he can defend the perimeter.

He had a great combine because he looked athletic as frick

But the nba doesn’t have a place for someone that is 6’1” that can’t shoot and score off his own dribble

Anything else you read is because he is lebrons son

Serious question, how much fight does he have in him?

Dude… so he’s essentially Jalen Collins, but doesn’t run a 4.4?

No idea. But I’m sure he is pretty damn competitive

And contrary to what this board wants to believe, his father was on pace to be the top football prospect in Ohio, which is one of the top states for high school prospects….He had over 1,000 receiving yards his junior year

Collins ran a 4.48 which is slow as frick for a top round CB. And he was still picked in the second round because of his size for the position

I mean are you trying to help my point? His size is one of his biggest detriments right now for basketball

If he was a football DB, his size would be a huge plus. That’s the point….

Bronny probably runs a 4.6 at best

& “prototypical” Jalen Collins didn’t last very long in the NFL

He piggybacked off of teams trying to find their own LOB type DBs which is exactly why he was a two years and done guy.

That’s faster than 1st round draft pick, Terrion Arnold. Just throw the towel in on this one man.

I mean yeh, that’s kinda the point of my post

His size would give him huge bonuses and plus marks for football while it s a giant minus and detractor for basketball

4.48 puts you in the 50th percentile for CBs. It’s not a good time and certainly not a time you would want to see for a top CB

Jalen Collins was drafted for his size at the position
