Liked what I saw in game 1. Hope he keeps improving.

| Eight 3’s and 62.5% is a very good start. Let’s hope this is an indication of a real change. |

No one really talking about him, but he's been disappointing in his 2nd stint in the G-League, still as inefficient as ever, still no jumper, still not understanding the game.
I've seen Bronny make more progress in 2 months than I've seen Maxwell Lewis make in 2 seasons.
Forces up shots way too much and plays hero ball unnecessarily.

Bronny is closer to the NBA than max at this point. 2023 was probably our worst draft season in a while |

| Glad we were able to move him. No future here even if he develops more. And I think his ceiling is pretty easy to find. |

Damn yo! It's pretty hard for a youngster to get a chance on a LeBron team, let alone a late 2nd rd pick. Unless you're his son. Lol. Max did nothing wrong. Getting minutes on a bad NBA squad is what he needs.

Oh did he go too in all of this? Well hope he ends up landing somewhere where he can continue his career.
Conveniently now I don't have to specify MaxC or MaxL anymore so that's groovy.  |

I could not stand the way this dude played basketball. Even when he wasn't being a chucker, he had the lowest bball iq ever, even by summer league standards. I actually liked the pick quite a bit originally, but by his 2nd year summer league I become a certified hater.
Lewis's problem is he was trash in the G-League too. He's just not good at basketball, and it's clear his developmental trajectory is not very good. Maybe that was a SBL thing, not sure, it'll be good for him to be on another team since the tools are there. He's basically a homeless man's rookie year Brandon Ingram |

Yep!!! lol! I said back then it was a wasted move, the Lakers spending money and their own 2nd round pick to move up acquire him. Also, called the JHS instead of Cam Whitmore mistake as soon as it occurred. None of us know anything in reality tho, some predictions turn out right, some wrong!

A 6'7 Bronny would change the trajectory of his entire career

Bill Macdonald just said he would miss the rest of the season, but didn't give any other details.  |
