The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

i think of nepotism when you get something you're not qualified to get because of your family.


i think Bronny James is qualified for the 55th pick in the draft.

There's probably plenty of players who just went undrafted that were too and I also think someone not named Bronny is probably not even entering the draft to begin with when being evaluated imo.

I'm also trying to speak from the perspective that nepotism IS NOT a bad thing. It clearly helped which isn't a negative to me

I mean I think this is a situation where it’s clearly both. There’s definitely a level of nepotism, but it isn’t like he was a nobody as a prep player. Does have a level of upside to where taking him at 55 isn’t a big deal.

former McDonald's all american that had a bad freshman season getting drafted with a 55th pick doesn't really scream nepotism to me.


really don't think it's that crazy

Sure.

At the same time, considering he was drafted by his Dad’s team, it doesn’t really scream “this was all about Bronny’s merits as a hooper” either. But I’m in the camp that doesn’t have a problem with nepotism being a factor.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

i can agree that it helped brony,

maybe its just a semantic argument,
i think of nepotism as when you get something you aren't qualified for.

TMYK: “Nepotism is the act of granting an advantage, privilege, or position to relatives or friends in an occupation or field.”

Has nothing to do with qualifications.

Justin Edwards went from projected #1/top five pick to undrafted. Woof.

 

[lawdog1]

Not a bad G-League situation at all.

[DsLee]

An all-time bad draft and folks are outraged the 55th pick was a consensus top 3 player’s semen.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Bronny getting drafted is definitely a certain level of nepotism. Also, the Lakers aren’t going anywhere anyways and given how weak this draft is, I doubt whoever else they could’ve picked at 55th would’ve mattered.

NBA is still a business, this definitely gets ppl in seats and in front of TVs. Might as well

 

[QU!K]

If NBA didn’t introduce the 1 and done rule Bronny would have been drafted out of HS in the lotto

Idk when nepotism became such an en vogue topic but I hope that all these warriors of equality don't get rid of it before I have had the chance to use it some.
