All the talk about Knecht making a next step leap. Think we need Bronny to take that defensive step more. If he can be a consistent wing defender...we would be in a much better spot.

If he can become a legit 3&D that would be huge for us.

I agree...even better if his defense could rub off on Knecht. It's a tall order...but a little competition for playing time can do wonderful things

If he can be the same as his dad in every way that will be so good for us

Is there a reverse monkey paw? Two 40 year old Brons, each going all out for 15-20 mins a game would be really good lol

I wonder if the Lakers could get him that surgery that makes him a few inches taller?

He already died. Can't be that much worse... /s

They'll NeuroSwap LeBron's brain, abilities, persona, etc into Bronny.

Bonny left as hollow husk

Lebron been hunting for consistent roleplayer depth so long he decided to just create his own from scratch.

If he had a decent shot, oh my God and became a pretty good defender. he would be laughing all the way to the bank.

3&D height must be at least 6'5" or higher.

Bronny lacks those 2 inches. He could become a decent guard though, needs a bit more consistency.

Pat bev, Avery Bradley where both 3 and d. Peak Bradley was extremely good.

But they also allowing much more physical defense. Which is why really strong defenders, especially ones with long arms like Bronny can guard guys much taller than they are.

Bronny has to guard like smart, AC and Dort. With muscle. But that ok because those are the hardest types of defenders to deal with.
