Bronny was worthy of a 2nd round pick
Say what you want but if you threw a random LA Fitness baller out here, he’s not getting more than 4 points. Y’all acting like Bronny is a make-a-wish candidate. Stop it!
League is fucked.
W despite Max Lewis
it’s crazy cuz a 55nd overall pick’s expectations should never be 13/5/3/2 😂
r/NBA literally said this dude couldn’t start at a D1 school 😂
Hopefully Knecht can keep up the rebounding we need major help on the boards lol
I’m sure there would be posts in the future like “Did Bronny purposely tank his draft position so he could play with his daddy?”

The pendulum swings once again
Knecht looked nice. Definitely looks like an instant contributor to our main rotation. The shooting and driving abilities are very solid.
2-0 since Jaylen “Not an Olympic player” Brown was talking shit
Dalton/Bronny vibes are great
People on this sub were telling me that Knecht wasn’t good enough to contribute on day 1 lol
What a username
The fire rises!
reverse circlejerk here we come
He was being called the worst draft pick in nba history lmao
This sub boy…
Trade Bron/AD build around Bronny/Knecht.
R/nba is in shambles
Well let’s see what he does against Morant
“Worst player in the nba” despite Thomas bryant and bones Hyland existing
Damn. 13 points in a summer league game. Crown him.
Lakers nailed it. Solid gems!
its so funny seeing this subs herd mentality.
fucking bronny hate comments were getting 1k to even 5k upvotes just like 5 days ago, but now all i see is comments talking like they were defending bronny. i was downvoted by like 100 when i mentioned Mascala avg like 5pts for 10 years and bronny will be fine lol
I’ve seen enough Bronny >> Sarr
r/nba using bronny as a proxy to hate lebron. When he does decent or better lebrons haters go back to the shadows when he doesn’t they come out in full force it’s as simple as that.
Knecht is going to be the steal of the draft. A real hooper at Illinois
PLEASE LET BRONNY TURN OUT TO BE LEGIT. JUST FOR HIS SAKE. DAB ON THE HATERS BRONNY
Cancerous sub. How quickly the whole mood changes
So, I would like to apologize to Bronny James. Granted he played so bad after the media talked about him none stop. But I was legimately questioning for a moment if LeBron just brainwashed ESPN after his initial play and seeing his stats in college and high school. Still needs some G-league development, but he isn’t the worst player in summer league and tbh seems like worthy 2-way contract player. Time to direct the critism to Alex Sarr
Edit: Dalton Knecht looks NBA ready, and tbh if we have a 2 way slot I wouldn’t mind picking up Collin Castleton.
I stand by my belief that two alley oops (one each way) between Bron and bronny are all I need for this pick to have been worth it.
the narrative right now will quickly change to >>
>>”NAH ITS JUST A SUMMER LEAGUE, WAIT TIL THE REAL SEASON START”
Even if Bronny sucks the Lakers EASILY get their money back in free media attention, dunno why no one is talking about the financial angle.
