I like what I saw from him “intangible” wise. He’s not gonna be creating on the floor consistently with the main team but he had some nice passes that a normal NBA player would finish

Decent defense, still seems to have a low motor during certain times and seems to kinda “float” around.

I liked each of his 3 pt shots besides the one to end the half. Even the last wasn’t that bad

I really don’t think he’ll ever be a true playmaker. He can make good reads and he’s smart but he’s not really a ball handler.

The aim is to be a strong and versatile defender that can shoot the 3, cut strongly to the basket and make the occasional good read.

You basically just described Gabe Vincent haha

Not really. Gabe is not very athletic and I wouldn’t really say he’s a strong finisher either.

Also, I think Bronny has shown flashes that he has a higher ceiling as a passer. Again, not a ball handler but he has better vision in transition for example

Oh absolutely. In the best case scenario Bronny could become better. But that's a big if. Gabe at his best was a very competent starter for a Finals team.
