He's currently a part of the Clippers summer league team. Hopefully he finds a better fit in his next stop. I think he does have NBA talent for sure, just has to be a team that'll allow him to be him
Great video when you have a chance check out Wayne Blackshear from Chicago also went to Louisville I personally saw him dominate AD in the Big Dipper in my hometown
Which is why Kiyan is going to be able to develop. Melo already said they’re not even thinking that far ahead to “one and done”. He’s going to where he can best develop his game and stay until he’s really ready.
That whole sierra canyon team (Bagley, Bailey, K Mart Jr, Cassius, Bronny and Zaire) all stunted growth prospects should be better than what they are. Kids need to focus on developing instead of trying to always capitalize on temporary hype.
Bagley and Zaire were lottery picks so they had their opportunities, Kj was always gonna be a role player, Cassius and Bailey should’ve stayed in school longer, bronny pops is bron so he good no matter what😂
These players need to stop leaving college until they have dominated at that level. One and done used to mean something, these players just try to get to the league as fast as they can just to be out in 1.5 years.
It was over after Drake gave him that #10 chain. His head became a hot air balloon of gas. Sad, because he had a decent freshman year to secure a starting spot in college to develop at a high profile school his sophomore year. These prospects all need to watch the Lenny Cooke movie
It's sad cuz he was already older in high school. The saddest part of the whole documentary is when he said "my name is Leonard. They started all this Lenny stuff" he's one of many that got pushed into the game and despite the talent, somebody all wanted something from him.
Looks like a pretty good player to me. Still only 20 years old. Needs a little more time to mature and develop his game. He should not give up. He has great potential.
@@Shao.007 drives me nuts. I wish he'd just start instead of telling me what he's about to tell in minutes. Lots of times I just go to the next video after the "intro".
Crazy how he STILL has more NBA upside than Bronny, even though he’s been “stunted”… but because daddy and Klutch control all things Lakers, Bronny got that contract … how else would the drafts’ 55th pick get a guaranteed deal, when he was barely an average college player ?
As a ucla fan it’s just a really unfortunate situation. I get why he left because he really was playing great ball at the end of the season last year. Once Clark and Bona went down it figured that we had no shot at making a run in the tourney but Amari stepped up in a big way and became the number 2 scoring option behind Jaime jacquez. He even had the go ahead shot against Gonzaga in the sweet 16 with under 10 seconds that would’ve been the game winner if not for a strawther half court shot. If that shot misses, ucla wins goes to the elite 8 and I think Amari might be a first round pick and thriving rn. It just sucks because last year if he stayed which im hindsight he should’ve he would’ve been the number 1 option last year and a lottery pick instead of a guy who didn’t get his contract picked up for his second season. and ucla would’ve been atleast a tournament team and possibly a sweet 16 or better but they just didn’t have anything close to a number 1 option. I wish Amari well and i believe in him but getting picked by the hornets was the worst thing for his career. The second it happened I knew his career was in serious jeapaordy(which it is).
They need to start forcing them to shoot in practice and force them to catch and shoot from the corner and top of the key in game. That would literally fix the issue(if they even care) they just have to be able to shoot from beyond the 3 point line and the rest of their game will be fixed as a result. Except idk if that would fix amari having less assists than turnovers that’s kind of insane for a sg/pg
Sad story. He was ranked ahead of Maxey in Texas and top 5 in the country and now he’s on the Sixers summer league struggling. He should have never did that podcast. He wasn’t in the gym
It’s funny I never thought he was that good after I watched a few full games of his never saw the person in the highlights .. for some reason definitely saw this coming
Well said, way too many cooks in the kitchen between the mixtapes, the Sierra canyon circus as well as the Drake attention, kid never had a chance once he left UCLA
Cassius Stanley, Marvin Bagley, Wade, Zaire Williams, Pippen Jr. K. Martin Jr. , Brandon Boston , Amari Bailey, Bronny James all went to Sierra Canyon and none of them can play.
A friend of mine who kid plays college and grew up around him ...said he ain't develop his game since he was 8th grade.. My friends kid just got a bag moving to a power 5 school after year and a half at a smaller d1.... Said he shlda waited one more year
It’s crazy how NBA business side works. He out the league fighting to get a spot and Bronny fully guaranteed for 4 years. Emoni Bates in G league killing and can’t get on the main roster and Thansis demanding a trade lol
Only in year 2 and already talking about stunted growth?? You just doing it for clicks now.. sad to see you go from genuine storytelling to clout chasing…
Amari Bailey and Brandon Boston was way better than Bronny in Hs.Boston had low numbers in college like bronny and ended up getting drafted 51st pick.Hes proving he belongs in NBA though and being 6'7 helps.
This one and done crap has gotten out of hand, dudes who weren’t even good in college thinking they’ll be good in the NBA all of a sudden is egotistical bullshit
@@brianjemison5265his stunted growth is that lebron decided to marry a midget so Bronny didn’t get the height he needs to play how he does. If he was 6’6-6’9 he would be an all star. If he was 6’4 he could at least have a chance to be a starter one day or 6 man But 6’1 he’s toasted it’s over. Lebron ruined his chances ☠️
I think his athleticism/quickness severely underwhelmed since looking at him in his senior year/college season. If he was actually 6’4-6’5, more active on defense and could shoot he’d have a better shot
He would've been a lottery pick this year with how the draft shook up. I don't know WHAT happened. I thought the hornets would be more patient than this. I knew he came out early but sheeeesh. I think he still has time tho
Now u need to start doing this but backwards meaning. Start doing players who were not ranked or projected to go pro but excelled anyway and became great or a top player in the nba Like this is called stunted growth. This should be called excellerated growth??????
I just feel like nobody wanns be in college so they capitalize off they name and leave early. Ion really think alot of players are ready. Its a select few
Now this is worth looking at the bronny pick and calling it what it is . He had a way better season at college than bronny yet not getting the opportunity that bronny gettin . This bogus
Just a case of being mis scouted. Physical ability, but not actually a good 5 on 5 player with an actual position, he's not a point guard and he isn't a great shooting guard
To be honest these rich kids don’t work as hard and they don’t care. That was his problem. His house is a mansion before he got to the league. Some that grow up rich work hard but he wanted fame and post in IG
Nah u chatting, he worked hard enough to be a McDonald’s all American and went on to play for a power 5 school. He just left school to early that’s it.
@@TheFilmSpace1 I never said rankings matter, and he never stopped working. All that high school clout goes out the window once u go to college cause everyone is good, All I’m saying is he left school early and should’ve stayed another year to prove to scouts he can be a lead guard in the nba, would’ve def been a lottery pick this year, he had a good showing in the 2023 tournament which he would’ve continue to built off in his 2nd year in college.
He's currently a part of the Clippers summer league team. Hopefully he finds a better fit in his next stop. I think he does have NBA talent for sure, just has to be a team that'll allow him to be him
W for him
Seems like Jerryd Bayless all over again.
@@zeroturn7091Bayless was nice he had a good career
You should do Doron Lamb next.
Great video when you have a chance check out Wayne Blackshear from Chicago also went to Louisville I personally saw him dominate AD in the Big Dipper in my hometown
Sometimes....you see a kid leaving early & you say to yourself..." he's not ready"
Sometimes....you're RIGHT!!
Starting to become a lot
Honestly, he and Peyton Watson would have ran the PAC 12, made a deep NCAA run and been lottery picks. They fumbled coming out too early.
@@T-Addbut Peyton Watson going to Denver is a lot better then Mari situation
Which is why Kiyan is going to be able to develop. Melo already said they’re not even thinking that far ahead to “one and done”. He’s going to where he can best develop his game and stay until he’s really ready.
Known him more from his mom being a groupie
💯
💀
Damn man" 😆😆 fax's tho"
Facts! 💯 Had Drake wining🍷 and dining🍽 her just for her to be another 1💃 checked ✔️ off the bucket list🗒🤦♂️🤷♂️.
And what are you known for mf
He should’ve stay one more year at UCLA. Idk why he thought it was a good idea to leave knowing he might be a 2nd round pick.
He’d be making good money on NIL too. There was zero reason to rush.
@@NT-or9whhis og want money
His og bro
Think about it, if he build off how he ended last season, he could had very easily been been a Top 5 pick in this past draft due to being so weak.
That whole sierra canyon team (Bagley, Bailey, K Mart Jr, Cassius, Bronny and Zaire) all stunted growth prospects should be better than what they are. Kids need to focus on developing instead of trying to always capitalize on temporary hype.
A shame
Bagley and Zaire were lottery picks so they had their opportunities, Kj was always gonna be a role player, Cassius and Bailey should’ve stayed in school longer, bronny pops is bron so he good no matter what😂
And maybe go back to stop building super teams at every level and go to systems that focus on development
These players need to stop leaving college until they have dominated at that level. One and done used to mean something, these players just try to get to the league as fast as they can just to be out in 1.5 years.
Preach ! So true !
STUNTEDGROWTH... I love your channel. It's one of a kind, class act.
Sierra Canyon are producing McDonald's All Americans but noticed none can stay in NBA last 6 years
Still making it to the NBA a big deal. There 1 million basketball players every year only 60 are drafted.

He should
Have stay at ucla for another year
Those 6’2 - 6’4 undersized SGs almost never pan out, especially if they can’t shoot.
If you 6’2 and can’t shoot you better be a damn good defender and a playmaker and at least have a good midrange or else you better take it overseas😂
This dude was never as good as people claimed he was. Another social media hooper exposed

Should still be in the league tbh.
@@zeroturn7091dude had his moments but he isn’t fit for the NBA. He recently got cut from the French team
Another overrated French man
Is the “Growth” in the room with us right now?
“A$$” that’s his entire stunted growth story. Dude just isn’t good
Very good analysis 👏. At 20 y/o his hype ran out. he should go to Europe 🌍 HE needs to learn to be a true PG
Should do Kysre Gondrezick next
Lol
These ball players are insane. Very average year at UCLA, but he's a pro? Nuts.
lol I really use to be trippin when the listed him at 6’5 cuz I just know he closer to 6’1 😂
Being out the league in one year crazy work for what he was suppose to be
He was better than Bronny
That's not saying much
Yea right, bronny got a 4 year NBA contract worth 8 million and 6 million guaranteed.
Was?

Sierra Canyon has a NBA talent pipeline problem. Alot of talent undersize "combo guards" LJJ is one one of them.

Bailey needs to work on 3p shooting. Aswell defense for him to stick in the NBA
It really amazes me how they don’t get this. Get a 3 ball, better footwork for defense and you have a spot in the league

Cassius Stanley, Marvin Bagley, Wade, Zaire Williams, Pippen Jr. K. Martin Jr. , Brandon Boston , Amari Bailey, Bronny James all went to Sierra Canyon and none of them can play.
Pippen Jr can play and Marvin Bagley isn’t all that now but he is decent
Got a point.

Do Yinka Dare next.
He should have stayed one or two more years, first round is a guaranteed contract and he would have been a 1st rounder after another year.
Everyone wants to be "one & done" but not everyone NEEDS to be. Bring back patience within these young hoopers.
Only in year 2 and already talking about stunted growth?? You just doing it for clicks now.. sad to see you go from genuine storytelling to clout chasing…
Right lol The kid is only 20 years old. He will get plenty of more opportunities to play on a NBA roster & thrive
Nah he’s in the G league once you end up there it’s very unlikely that a player will get a guaranteed contract.

If he's this good at 6'3 n former top 10 highschool is out of nba...Bronny would be out of the league sooner..

Have you ever did one on lou roe?
tbh never thought buddy was good overrated !
Bronny, James stunted growth coming soon lol
At least 3 years away, I guess that's soon if you are a tree.
Smfh 6’2 to 6’4 you need to be able to shoot and play make watch some Chris Paul see what he was able to do at his size
His mom was the reason
How about Rodney Hood or Chris Duarte in the next video pleasee
Speaking of Cam Thomas he should get a growth spurt episode
Good luck in Brooklyn
@stuntedgrowth are you from The Bahamas?
I can’t wait For the day in a few years from now when we finally get the real Stunted growth for bronny James

Man he’s been trash the last two games 😭
Should of stay in college and got heathy... would have been a top pick or late first round if he would have played like we know he can.
