@@Baylorbetterthanbrownwhy? Dalton on about 99% of mocks had him going in the lottery picks. Also his 3 point shooting is great while putting up almost 7 3’s a game. Ohh and he averaged 21 ppg in college
Why? MANY great NBA centers over the years have been in that height range. Bill Russell 6' 9" comes FIRST to mind. Wes Unfield was 6' 7". Ben Wallace and Dave Cowens were also 6' 9". Draymond Green and Charles Barkley both spent time at center - at 6' 6".
People need to cut the bullshit. People are acting as if we used our first round pick on Bronny and people are acting as if we’re going to build around Bronny. People love to talk about real fans so here’s my argument. If people are real basketball fans, they would love to see a father son duo in basketball especially since it has never been done
Whats crazy to me is bronny weighs the same as the French guy and is 6ft1 and seeing his recent training videos he looks to be a little stronger than he was even in the combine. So he could even be 215-220 now or be there by the time summer league starts. He will most likely have a final growth spurt and may reach 6ft5 with shoes or 6ft6 with shoes, which would be more than enough. He is definitely strong enough to guard bigger players and has the reach and if he grows even a few inches more he can be an absolute nightmare on defence for even bigger players
yep crazy potential but I thought this season we had great defensive individuals with AD, Cam Reddish & Jared Vanderbilt even outside those three the rest were above average at D (maybe besides Dlo & TP) but our team defense was really bad. We need to turn these great defenders into a great team defense.
@@kdt110 you’re definitely right on that. I think that’s a coaching issue too. I do think players have to communicate but it seems from what people like AD and others have said that at times they didn’t even know what coach wanted them to do. So it seemed like there were too many inconsistencies on that end. Hoping JJs team will be able to find ways to better utilize our defensive players and put them in a position to really play well. I also guess injuries didn’t help with chemistry. This year hopefully everyone can stay relatively healthy and we can have a consistent line up and players get consistent minutes throughout the whole season. So everyone knows their role and just comes to play. I’m excited to see how things go for sure
You jelly and mad. U cant escape the king. If MJs sons were any gd, they would have received favor and attention. Gotta be something more important to be made about
@@darrencroom7701 not jealous. Just not dumb enough to see what happened. That kid don’t get drafted with LeGM LeBron is a washed out old man…. Nothing to be jealous about… more like an embarrassment on the Lakers part.
WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE ABOUT A 55TH PICK? Please Tell Me That? Because Other Than The Fact That He's LEBRON Son, Why Would Someone Be HATING? The NFL The NBA and Major League Baseball Is Full Of Nepotism Especially In These Front Offices.. But Naw Let's Talk About The Never Been In Trouble For Nothing Young Black Billionaire..FOH Because All This Shows Is We Still Got a Long Way To Go 😏😏🤷🏿♂️
Not a bad draft for the Lakers. I don't care much about the age . I only care if they gonna be solid role players . I hope that Bronny will be a good PG , cause now he can learn a lot from his father. I can't wait to see these 4 guys in the summer league.
Yes ,he probably faked the cardiac aswell and secretly working out to make teams not want him. I mean they were doing what ever to please bron so I feel like he told him to drop his rank so Lakers could pick him up,hes going to blow up ,I know this was the plan the whole time,mark my words bro ,he gots something cooking for us to enjoy
I'm definitely with you as far as rooting for bronny but not all are bro, I'm seeing a lot of hateful people praying on his downfall which is hella lame and weird but that's the world we live in smh
I lone Knecht, he was in my top 3 guys I liked, and realistically the only one the Lakers would/could draft at 17. Castle was my favorite player. If Bronny was 6’6” or better he’d be lottery, but 6’2” he’s small by nba standards. It doesn’t mean he can’t be impactful. If I were him, I’m getting 2000 shots a day. Watch other small guards and see the things they do and get nasty tough on defense. Usually it takes these guys until their mid 20’s to get it together. Oh, I think Knecht is a bigger and possibly better AR. Lakers need to get some BEEFY CENTERS.
The Lakers should trade Max Christie,Austin Reaves,Cam Reddish,Rui Hachimura to the Nets for Bojan Bogdanovic, Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson,Dorian Finney-Smith.........
Knowing the history of the Lakers franchise, The legacy of Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Wilt, Worthy, and KOBE, Shaquille and now the great Lebron on and off the court. Taking Bronny was the best opportunity the Lakers had to make life beautiful for the James Family. Jeannie Buss needs to be commended for recognizing the importance of this historic draft choice. Best to Bronny James, and of course LeBron James one of the greatest of all time
I like the draft picks and there is plenty of potential from all of the pick ups. Unfortunately none of them are massive defenders which we need on the court in my opinion. So the question of having defenders and a bruiser of a Big by the start of the season are still unanswered. With that being said the positive is that we have plenty of shooters now which is good considering the modern N.B.A and the direction that it seems to be heading in. With D-lo opting in and stating that he wants to stay in L.A that could mean that we'll have his shooting ability next season. And when LeBron taking more of a roll player position in the team that could really help D-lo and guys game ask around. Also being coached by JJ a former outside shooter himself, may help his game as well. If not his contact screens,"sell me", as well.
There is still a small window for Bronny James to hit a growth spurt. If he is Lucky, He might still add up at least a couple of inches. That would be an excellent blessing for him.
Dude, look at Max Christie. Who's excellent at teleporting through screens and defending. Who can shoot 40% from 3. Who's 6'5. And he's barely a second stringer. Now look at Bronny. Who's undersized even for a PG. Who can't shoot by NBA standards (although, this might change, he's got some fundamentals). Who might be working hard, but his defence is still limited with his size. I'd really hate to see father's ego and selfish pride ruin his son's life. Bronny might actually be an ok soccer or baseball player or something. But he doesn't have the size for basketball.
it kind of feels like they're rebuilding w/o completely tearing down the team. they have some young guys that can be something in a year or two from now. i'm ok with that but i know most Lakers fans are championship or bust every season
why did you add brony as one of the draft steals?? lol..come on bro......bronny only on the roster due to his dad....stop lol..G league bound and he needs time to get good.
by the time any of these players will be seasoned enough, lebron and ad will both be long gone. you don't draft 19 year olds expecting them to instantly fit your teams needs.
Bronny James < what a waste of a draft pick. Will be a waste of a roster spot. He was drafted to make the Lakers a circus, not a serious contender. His addition is also a slap on the face on other more deserving young players.
Using a draft pick to appease LeBron is one thing, but wasting a roster spot on Bronny... No way! Unless they use one of their 2 way contracts on him he's only going to get cut and sent to the G League. I really can't see the Lakers using a roster spot on Bronny when we're meant to be contending.

I feel great about it, go Laker Nation
We picked Knecht at 17, not 15..
JSM’s draft and free agency breakdowns are always the best. Always worth the wait over the other channels who rush out content!
Agreed!
Double agreed....
Triple-agreed
Quadruple agreed!
Quintuple agreed
Knecht can be like a bogdan bogdannovic for the Lakers
I feel like he can be a better defender than bogdan bogdannovic. He is top 5 in draft combine workout with a 39 inches vertical
His shooting form looks a lot like Bojan Bogdanovic!
Stop it
much better athlete too

I can’t wait to see if jj helps players like him max Christie and jhs with there shot who better to help them improve their shooting
The love this man put into these videos, I can tell he loves the lakers as much as me 💜💛
It's crazy how we now calling a 6"8 dude a center
Jarret Allen lied abt his height he’s not 6’9 and he plays center and lebron played center
@@CameronWashington-qi7rw Jarrett Allen has +3 inches to his wingspan. Lebron playing center was the kitchen sink and also not really a center.
Why?
MANY great NBA centers over the years have been in that height range.

roughly Derek Fisher-sized
If Giannis can keep Thanasis employed, drafting Bronny is fair game.
Stop comparing bronny and thanasis. They are not on the same frequency.

Dang, we couldn't get Dj Burns 😞
Guarantee, Bronny will have a second growth spurt... His father and brother are major clues.
Come back to this video when it happens.
6'4 SG
Great video. I can see a Marcus Smart lite if he puts in the work.
We need to trade for a true center. Walker Kessler.
genuinely believe bronny didn't show all he had so he could get picked up easy with his dad, now he can show
Him and bron got something they cooking up🫢

Rob is dumb talking about it being magical. He fucced up doing what LeBron say
Are Knecht's minutes coming from Rui or Lebron?
Who is giving up minutes for Jr?
The Lakers should sign a European center.
Well, that’s kind of what they got with Armel Traore
@@JSM24former Wemby teamate aswell
@@JSM24ehh not really he is 6’9 with shoes on lakers need a center
@@ceazz9933 So Bam Adebayo isn’t a center because he’s 6 foot 9 with shoes on? Being 6 foot 10+ is not a “requirement” to be a center nowadays lol
@@JSM24 well bam is taller and is 50 pounds heavier, armel is a SF lol
Draft steals is absolute degenerate lies, none of these guys will help the lakers in any significant way
Bronny vs Thanasis
Who you got
to me Bronny James nba comparison is more towards Gabe Vincent
Gabe no Vincent
If he was soo good why he ain’t go #1 lakers got 2 bust players
Bronny might be a 3nd wing or might come in looking like Zion eating everybody evn his dad
I lone Knecht, he was in my top 3 guys I liked, and realistically the only one the Lakers would/could draft at 17. Castle was my favorite player.

So does that mean Lebron's jersey would have James Sr. or no?
Probably he'll use Bronny as his jersey name
Knecht will win rookie of the year! Book it! Go Vols!
Bronny reminds me of Londale Mitchell
Dalton has a lot of chandler parsons game offensively and is arguably a better defender! could be the ROY contention
Hoping Bronny makes the leap and becomes a DFish 2.0, and a Laker Legend!
Lopez Jennifer Garcia Jose Martin William
Lakers took him 17th not 15th. Great video I’m excited to see what else we do.
Where do they get extra room for 2 way contracts? What about Mays and Giles, and Castleton
Lakers stealing again with Knecht
They are joke now. LeBron is a fraud and getting his sin is the t notto.meeting rick
People only talk 🗑️ about Bronny bc he’s Lebron’s son the young man actually got potential. He can shoot and play defense.
I was waiting on the JSM video cuz I don’t trust those other guys
Jsm always comes in clutch with the details
Wish they had grab PJ Hall as a 2 way player. He fits as a big has 3pt range
Bronny is a wasted picc
ROB JUST BE SAYING SHII
Plays bronny in Summer League vs the kings
Draft steals ill wait to see

I want Grant Nelson
It’s getting hard to listen to Pelinka pontificate
Are you high?????????
For the people who are mad at the Bronny pick just switch them and imagine Hinson was the 55th pick.. there. Now you don’t have to be mad.
it kind of feels like they're rebuilding w/o completely tearing down the team. they have some young guys that can be something in a year or two from now. i'm ok with that but i know most Lakers fans are championship or bust every season
You are one of the top Lakers channels keep going up
Lakers will become comedian team
Bronny will never be like Jrue Holiday. Jrue is 6’4 and a tank.
😅
Bronny is going to grow taller in the next few years. He may end up being 6’5”!
that is a big stretch, he will be lucky to add 1inch
Nope
They picked him at 17. Not 15
Jsm what about jamarion sharp to lakers
AI garbage
Dalton must be utilized well. He could be a Tyler Herro
Stop it
So lost why everyone keep saying his name like it has an I in it kinecth
It's Knecht, the English "Knight" derives from it. Knecht actually is an old word for servant. Suits well 😁
why did you add brony as one of the draft steals?? lol..come on bro......bronny only on the roster due to his dad....stop lol..G league bound and he needs time to get good.
they can add jamarion sharp for C pos
They took knecht at 17th
Told him at 17 not 15
🤣🤣😆😆
@Lakersnarion We need Dj burns
No disrespect but he’s a 6’6 post player. He can’t shoot, doesn’t have a good handle , isn’t athletic, and isn’t a good defender
Bronny going straight to the g league he aint going to play with his daddy
The Lakeshow has officially turned into the Shitshow, at least they can look forward to another play-in season.
I bet Bronny is way better than he has shown.
they should waive the rookie last yr!!
The Lakers reached for Bronny Jr in the second round. What a waste…
Who should they have picked 🤔
@@GuerillaBless Anyone that averages more than 4 points per game like Bronny James. Did you think he’s good because his father is Lebron?

We all knew we were taking Bronny lol
bronny can be a great 3 and d player down the line but hopefully can surprise us
That’s the long term goal 👌
What number yall think Bronny going to where 6 or 0?
6
Jonas Valanciunas pls be a laker
Hinson a forward vs guard

Fantastic
would of preferred Ledee
I think these players will do well.
