Some Superstar potential there.

Who should it be number one?

Who should be the number one overall?

Watch the next generation of Nba stars begin their Journey.

How special is this guy?

They have a star on their hands.

That was nasty.

How about that?

Talk about some lingerie on the deck to the horse.

The finals are behind us, but that does not mean things are slowing down at all.

We are now just one week away from the start of the Nba draft, which of course means the Atlanta Hawks are on the clock.

Our draft expert, Jonathan gavone, released his latest mock draft this morning.

Zachary race is the first pick to the Atlanta Hawks, followed by Alex Sar at two to the Wizards and the Spurs, taking a pair of point guards at 4 And8 and Stefan castle and Robert Dilling Cam.

And look who’s here: Jg himself.

So Jg Nba fans, they might not be too familiar with alexar and Zachary race, but everybody knows Bronnie James, your latest mock draft, has him going to the Lakers with the 55th pick, and you reported yesterday that Bronnie has only worked out with the Suns and the Lakers, despite other teams trying to get him into their building.

So why exactly is that the case?

Well, I spoke with Bronnie James’ agent Rich Paul this morning very interesting conversation.

He confirmed that bronny has only conducted workouts with two teams so far: the Suns and Lakers.

He says he’s comfortable with where he might land ultimately on June 27th, presumably with the Lakers.

He said that other teams, such as the Dallas Mavericks, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Toronto Raptors, have also expressed interest in picking him.

Rich Paul wanted to remind us that he’s long had a strategy of steering clients to preferable destinations even later in the draft, with the knowledge they will end up getting guaranteed contracts, normally reserved for players.

Ed much earlier, Taylor Horton, Tucker, Brandon Boston Jr and Chris Livingston were similar examples of players who conducted limited workouts, just like Bronnie this year.

Rich Paul also infirmed that there is no package deal for Lebron’s signature with either the Lakers or sons in exchange for drafting bronnie.

There’s been talk around the Nba that the Phoenix Suns want to rec recruit Lebron and are dangling the carrot of selecting Brony at 22nd.

Paul confirmed that to me but said they are not interested in such a move.

As the sons are severely limited in the type of contract they can offer Lebron a minimum contract, which he deemed insulting.

Paul also said there’s a scenario which the Lakers pick: Ronnie James at 55 and see Lebron decide to sign Elsewh in free agency.

So yes, a lot of interesting news coming out of that call.

Okay, uh, Bobby, you were just laughing here a little bito when we were talking when Jg was going through those quotes from Rich Paul.

What is your, what do you make of all this?

Yeah, Lebron’s not going to Phoenix for the minimum.

I think we could probably put that to to bed there.

I think I wouldn’t get caught up that he’s only worked out for Phoenix.

And in the Los Angeles Lakers, certainly being in the Nets runoffs, we’ve drafted players that have not come in and worked out before.

I think the most important thing is that every team has his medical information.

Uh, he went through interviews in.

Uh, in Chicago.

Uh, there’s a good Comfort level with him there.

I think it’s intriguing.

Phoenix at 22, 22 is a little bit of a reach to take him.

I think where they are with their draft um Equity lack of moving forward.

Is there somewhere where they maybe move into the early part of this, maybe move off 22 into the early part of the 30s and pick up some more draft picks here?

So I wouldn’t get scared off that he’s only worked out for two teams, I think, certainly if there’s a comfort level.

If you like him at 31, for example, you take him um, and then you just have to kind of deal with the ramifications, as long as you have a really good player development program in place for him.

That’s the most important thing: that there’s a plan in place for bronny James.

Okay, cuz, you mentioned Player Development, and when you think about the two-way contract, that’s the point of a two-way contract is to try to develop players.

We haven’t seen Bronnie play that much college basketball.

That was one of the things, one of the criticisms, with him going into the Nba Draft.

So do you think that it is realistic for them to say that they don’t want to sign him to a two-way contract when he goes into the league?

Oh, I think it’s really realistic.

I think once you get drafted, that kind of changes a little bit.

There were 25 players drafted last year.

10 players wind up signing two-way contracts.

Uh, the other 15 were, you know, three or four year deals.

The one player that did was G Jackson in Memphis.

Two-way contract gets, uh, converted second Team, all Nba.

So I understand the reluctance of a two-way, but the reality is that the likelihood he will be in the G League at one point at some point, whether it be on a two-way or on a on a standard contract.

Uh, Jg, when you think about teams that want bronny, obviously he’s only worked out with two teams: Suns, Lakers.

What other teams are actually interested in Bronnie?

Yes, so rich.

Paul cited three teams.

He cited the Minnesota Timberwolves, who he, Imed Ely, dismissed because he says he does not know who their owner is going to be down the road.

He cited the Dallas Mavericks, who, Lebron James, has a close relationship with, Nico Harrison, their general manager.

Nico Harrison ran Nike basketball for a long time, and so they’ve known each other since Lebron was 18 years old, and he called bronny James.

He said Bronnie, uh, Nico is like an uncle for Bronny James.

And then he also cited the Toronto Raptors saying that Msu jiri, their president of basketball operations, has long had an affinity for Bronnie James, and he said that they have the 31st pick and it would not be shocking if they decided to take him there even without a workout.

Like Bobby marks just said, not every team needs to see a guy in a workout, and so, um, you know, maybe people have seen enough of Bronnie James.

He has a, you know, a pretty big track record dating back to the Nike ebl playing at Sierra Canyon, the Nike hoop Summit, the Mcdonald’s, All American games.

These are all places that he excelled in, so a team could possibly take him higher than that.

I ultimately anticipate him ending up with the Lakers just because the fit is too strong there and with them.

You know, a guaranteed contract that’s powerful.

I agree with what Bobby says about how a two-way could be a development option, but a two-way contract is a non-g guaranteed deal

And I don’t you know that’s not a real commitment on the on the side of a of a franchise.

You know, giving somebody a multi-year contract using the second round exception on them.

I think that holds a lot more weight and that’s what Rich Paul is ultimately angling for here.

Yeah, Jonathan just hit it right on the head.

It doesn’t matter if you go at 31 or 55, the money is still the same.
