Ngl this is impressive as hell. CoD is tough, idk if its WZ or MP but to come out on top when theres legit pros who play 10 hours a day and he is just playing on his off time + ball and won? If he dont pan out in the league just become a streamer.

I think I read somewhere that he's already one of the better players in the world. Pretty sure he makes money off twitch playing videogames.

Seeing Grant Williams come in 2nd is more impressive.

Meth closed the kids table thread

Are dudes even perma-banned? You can't sit down from one thread in the offseason for a little bit?

Does anyone not feel good referring to Lebron James Junior as “Bronny”?

Only if you were to tell me that's not the name he prefers. If that's what he's chosen to go by, then that's what he should be called.

That said, "Bronny James Jr." is not a real name and shouldn't be represented on his jersey. His jersey should either say "B. James" or "James Jr."

 

[lawdog1]

For whatever its worth.

I just dont get why hes a Jr if Bronny is a different name than LeBron. Woudnt a Jr only be if it was the same name? Serious unless his govy is LeBron as well and Bronny just a nickname.

Edit: oh **** his govy is actually LeBron

Why tf is Jaquez playing in Summer League?

He doesn't have other plans

Think he can create just fine. Shooting certainly an issue. Plenty of time for further development though given age.

Caruso is also going to have to be paid soon and the team is trying to (finally) go for a youth movement.

No brainer.

Yea, I don’t think he creates well enough to be a primary ball handler and having to pay him before the shooting development is pretty bad.

But Caruso easily slots in on teams who are actually trying to win now. OKC got rid of someone who was unplayable for them in the playoffs and got a dude who played a role on a championship team.

I agree, I just want him to be himself and not be forced to do anything that he doesn’t want to do.

I agree it’s a great trade for OKC. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t also good for Chicago.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Whitmore doesn't really look like a 2nd year guy. Kinda sucks tbh

 

[ihust1e]

i hope we utilize this Cam better than the last one

Sophomores usually play? Not sure if that tradition has been as strong as before

yes and no, he was a top 5 rookie last year
JJJ dont need to be there, but i cant fault him for wanting to keep working on his game.

salute mi carnal

I guess it’s a good flier. Def TBD if it’s actually good.

Yeah it depends on each guy but you can tell he doesn’t need to be there in a good way

 

[earldagoat]

JayGup going crazy rn

 

[trappedintime]

How? Giddey can’t shoot and can’t create enough to be a lead ball handler, and they have to pay him soon.

Bulls were never going to pay Caruso $20M+/yr and with good reason
