Exactly....100%...Downright sad that people have nothing better to do with themselves but spend time trashing a guy picked at #55...not 15...not 20...not 30....It's just classless on the part of some people on this board. I get it, everyone has an opinion, but it's still pretty sad

Honestly probably better off going undrafted at that point and picking your team.

There are quite a few more talented guys left though at that point. Trey Alexander, PJ Hall, Keshad Johnson, Blake Hinson, David Jones, and so on.

Though its likely better for those guys that they can pick their team..

I said this before and I am saying it again: the NBA drafts on potential and Bronny has the most potential to have the last name James.

But isn’t potential not realized? He already has achieved having the name of LeBron James.

The issue for me is that Bronny James is going to have a NBA roster spot on something other than merit. There are only 450 of those jobs on the planet, and the idea that one of them is taken solely because that person is the son of a great player doesn’t sit well with me.

If Bronny James’ name was Ben Jones or Bailey Johnson, would he have a NBA roster spot based on the merits? I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious.

Lakers are a privately held company and can make decisions on personnel however they want....that's true in business world too.
