A lot of news been made about Bronny at the combine, measured at 6'1.5", very impressive 6'7" wingspan, 40-inch vertical, stock rising, played well. Listen, I think, Bronny, he has a chance to be a very, very solid guard in the NBA. He shoot the ball well, he defends well, athletic, like gonna be able to pick up if he's a backup guard. Say he's a backup, 'cause everybody all, it's starter. The likelihood that you're a point guard and you're coming in as a starter, there's 30 starters, there's 60 to 80 backup and third point guards. So it's more likely that you're gonna be a backup or a third point guard than you are a starter. Just surely off the numbers. So let's go backup because I'm, I know better than like this guy's a starter. And I'm not saying that just for Bronny. I'm saying in general, it's hard to be a star point guard in this league. A real star point guard in this league. So I think Bronny does have the capabilities to be a very good backup point guard in this league. If you can take that to a starter, that's on the work that you come in and put in, right? That's on the improvements that you make, the things that you do to get better. I can't speak for that 'cause I'm not the one that has to do the work. But nonetheless, I think he has more than enough attributes and tools and things about him that'll make him a good backup point guard at least. Backup point guards need to pick up full court. He's gonna be able to do that with the best of 'em. Backup point guards need to be able to knock down shots. We know he can knock down a shot. Backup point guards need to be smart, not make mistakes. People complain that he played basketball too mistake-free. So again, at worst, Mm-hmm. We know he's probably gonna be capable. It ain't gotta be next year, by the way. Y'all draft kids in the top 10 that ain't ready to play next year and then wanna talk about Bronny, who's not in anybody's top 10 and be like, "He ain't ready to play next year." 40 of the, 45 of the 60 guys that you draft, 50 of the 60 guys that you draft ain't gonna be ready to play next year. So the whole thing of trying to throw out there like, "He ain't ready to play. Look at him, he ain't ready now." Who is ready now coming outta college? A few guys. So let's stop with that nonsense. No, he's not ready right now. Guess what? 51 of the other 58 players or 59, whatever it is, because the people got their picks snatched, aren't gonna be either. But what attributes do they have that we could look forward to building on? And Bronny has some of those. So it's great to see him go to the combine and perform well. His stock is rising. I think he'll— Mm-hmm. Go to some of these workouts and perform even better and continue to rise. And I think Bronny will have a very solid career as he continue to progress. But also know it's gonna take time to progress. This is the NBA. This is the NBA. It's the best basketball league in the world. It takes time. So that's a wrap from this episode of the Draymond Green Show. Tap in with y'all maybe this weekend, maybe next week. I'll let y'all know. But until then, that's a wrap.
