    I want to see in pre-season games Bronny who’s got some nice passing skills on the floor together with Thiero and Carr. He’s already got chemistry with Adou from last year. That’s 3 elite athletes with great developing skills, speed and elite verticality. There’s lots of options that could be paired with them. And no problem finding 2 more good and athletic defensive players in doing that from our roster now. Talk about your “Banshee” potential on the perimeter if one of those defenders is Kessler in the key.

    This roster is pretty much every coaches dream. The options are limitless. JJ's lack of creativity so far is a bit concerning but it may have been roster induced. Hoping and expecting to see a lot more this coming season. Young coach growing with young talent is extremely exciting.

    Bronny isn't elite in anything, pump the brakes.
    He did develop to be passable in an NBA game but he is still the 15th player of the roster.

    Bronny is 6’3, probably over 220lbs with a 6’7.5 wingspan. He has fantastic lateral quickness and a 40”+ vertical. That’s pretty elite athleticism.

    He isn’t an NBA player to this point, but don’t write him off just yet. I expect him to make some progress and get some decent time this year when injuries hit.

    Best case scenario he challenges Sexton for some minutes. More realistic is he is decent injury insurance.

    I actually find his lateral quickness to be a limitation, not a strength. He has trouble containing pgs in space.
