[Woike] Bronny says current players like Derrick White, Jrue Holiday and Davion Mitchell as NBA players he thinks affect winning in the ways he wants to as a pro.

Yea it’s a pro and con of Bronny. Since high school, he’s always tried to play like a role player (which is good thing for a team trying to win where every one needs to win) but you at the same time like to see him have a bit more dawg mindset and have more of a star mindset (especially in a lower level of competition like HS and college)

Bro could have said an all time great and y’all would call him delusional
Then when he says a backup 3-D PG y’all call him a loser
Just keep your hate on LeBron who is at least not a college student right now lol
Let the young man breathe you fucking children haters

Lol is Bronny a Celtics fan?

Basically a perfect interview answer.
“I am not unrealistic or a diva, but I am still setting a goal for myself that I think is achievable. And just like those guys, I want to put in the work for anyone who gives me a shot.”
He might never end up being a rotation guy, but his performance at the combine and his work ethic seem like he could be worth a speculative second round pick to me.

These are exactly the kind of players he should be looking at. He’s not saying he will be as good as those guys but you should be looking at the best guys of a certain role to improve.
If he only looks at Deuce McBride, he probably ends up like Frank Ntilikina. If he aims at Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, hopefully he ends up like Deuce McBride.

Guys who know they’re going to be role players and accept that early tend to have more successful careers. A lot of guys have flamed out quickly because they couldn’t handle being a role player because of their ego/mindset. Regardless of what you think of Bronny as a prospect, this is a great frame of mind for him to be in.

Not saying he can’t be great but this is the right mentality for him right now if he ever has a chance to make it in the NBA on his own merit. (Also I’m not calling Jrue/White bathroom cleaners but they’ve been at the peak for role players).

Im really praying something just snaps… and he ascends to the elite level like Gohan going from SSJ to SSJ2
tapk69
I mean its the best answer he could give. GP2 type of player. White and Jrue are considered elite shooters, reaching that level means you can play anywhere.

Should he be drafted ahead of Tre Alexander?
_Fun_At_Parties
Great picks tbh. While nobody considers these players bad, I don’t think many people realize just how good they are
seanffy
That’s some great awareness.

He definitely has the genetics to pull off Derrick White’s hairline.

Really disrespectful to the game for Lebron to marry his 5’7” childhood sweetheart instead of selectively breeding with other athletic freaks

I think the level of access Bronny has throughout his life is amazing, as there’s a world where he’s seen these three actually work out, and has had access to view their film, so when he’s going “yea, I want to be like them” it’s not just blowing smoke publicly….it’s a young man who likely knows “yep, this is who I am if all things go right”
This is a great way of going “I believe I will get a 2nd contract in the NBA”

WHAT IS WITH MMAN DAVION GETTING SO MUCH LOVE LATELY???
ForneauCosmique
What a great thing to say. I’m glad he’s not trying to live up to crazy expectations. The best role players are the ones that know their role and stick to it. That enables winning. With that attitude he may actually have a productive career

I see Bronny like a Derek Fisher type player. Smart, clutch and strong. Probably will be able to yam on guys in ways D.Fish never did though.
redundantPOINT
If he can be a POA defender that learns to navigate screens and be a dependable shooter/ball handler he’ll end up with a 10 year career.
Kind of amusing that it’s exactly the type of player that would thrive playing next to LeBron.

As a Spurs fan and Dwhite stan, I am now sold and want to draft him with our second round pick

DLO was trolling when he said “I wanna be Derrick white” but I think speak for all Laker fans when I say Derrick White is a fantastic player and we could have cleared the Nuggets if he was on our team.
So yeah, no shame in being like Derrick White. He’s a baller
PsychoWarper
Tbh thats more then fair and really the proper throught process for Bronny tbh, if you can just be a decent 3nD guy with a bit of playmaking who knows their role you can have a long and successful career.

The Davion comp is kinda interesting.
Best I can do is Miles McBride
