22 is the perfect spot for Bronny.
That kid doesn't have a single NBA skill.

“Getting Daddy to sign” isn’t an NBA skill?

Nope.

I can’t say I’ve watched him, but isn’t he supposed to be a defender? I read a scouting report on him the other day and I was kinda thinking he sounded like Josh Okogie…but then he’s only 6’2…so maybe Jordan Goodwin? The same scouting report said he’d need to be a physical disruptive defender to be effective at his size…think Pat Bev or Jose Alvarado.

I also think that maybe his freshman year wasn’t a great indicator on his talent level. He missed half the season because he went into cardiac arrest. He really should go back to school and work on that jump shot. He can team up with Dad in 2025. Makes more sense for Bron anyways as he can make another 50 million and give it one more shot with LAL.

Oh goodie. He can't shoot?

He didn’t shoot well at all this year.

Because he can't. No shot, average handle, average size, not a good passer, he's just well built and kinda athletic. He's nowhere near a real NBA prospect right now.

I don’t think he will be. I think all the mobile center prospects in our range will go before him because of their potential. Vogel loves his big men, James jones his older prospects, Ewwbanks is awful and I don’t know if there will be a better back up center on the market that we can afford. It just all lines up in my eyes. I think Vogel would love to pair Eddy and Bol in our second unit lineups.


Of course, my opinion is mostly based on Vogel being our coach next year…

I wouldn’t hate it…I just wouldn’t love it. I think the same teams that make Nurkic hard to play would make Edey hard to play and I’m not sure that’s a good recipe to have. We need someone who can play the 5 when teams play 5 out.

I watch his highlights and his decisiveness with the ball and think that he might be ok. Obviously he's a drop 5, but he's very large and eats up a lot of space.

I agree. Im not really advocating as much I just think this what’s going to happen base on Vogel liking big guy line ups, James Jones liking older college players and who I think will be there. It just my gut feeling we are destined for each other haha.

Looking at all the potential 1st round center prospects, I think I would prefer almost all of them to Eddy lol. I don’t hate Eddy either! I’ve come around to him a lot more since March Madness.


My personal preference right now, based on who who’ll probably be there at 22, would be Kevin McCullar or Tyler Kolek.

Tyler Kolek- great playmaker, good shooter, and capable of going on heaters. He’d take EG’s minutes. While I like EG more than most but he’s old. I’d like to go younger with the back up guard position. A lot of people want TJ McConnel on this team, I think Kolek is better than him right now. Plus he fits with an older college player James Jones loves. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he goes late lottery or mid teens.


Kevin McCullar-great defensive minded wing, who can also play make. Not a great shooter but I don’t think he’ll be a total zero like how Okogie is right now for us. I think he has a potential to be a 5th starter for us at some point. I know he had a recent knee injury that could sink him to late 1st round or early 2nd, could be a player we can trade back a few spots and still get.

The term lumbering comes to mind.

It's no surprise that I want Edey to fall to the Suns. We'll see if they even make the pick though.
