JJ Redick discusses the development of Adou Thiero, Cam Carr and Bronny James on ESPN LA
Was interesting how JJ gave long answers for both Adou and Cam but short for Bronny and started smiling when he was mentioning him Mmh
I mean he’s in year 3, he played good minutes in the playoffs, he’s just a decent backup guard who’s part of the rotation.
To be fair, Cam and Adou are pretty much new compared to the Bronny
Might be reflecting on how he’s no longer obligated to give long winded answers justifying Bronny’s continued presence on the team.
Yeah I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing
I really hope Adou manages to stick in the Nba he is raw but athletically gifted.
The video of him kissing the rim is very cool
Has Dalton stock fallen this much
He is older than LaRavia. I guess too old to be develop project
got the most on court development and has the least to show for it
Dalton…. I don’t know what to say about him
My estimation of Dalton as a basketball player just fuckin plummeted
I have no object permanence on Dalton Knecht
He has always been hot garbage
But for a game, he was red hot
That game still has the most casual of Lakers fans in love with him
JJ on Bronny: “And then Bronny ya know… we were talking actually yesterday about Bronny… that guy is good… he is a good basketball player… we’re excited to have him.. and excited to coach him”
He doesn’t want his dad coming at him the way he went at Stephen A.
Saying PR sentences instead of genuine stuff, yeah he gone.
Isn’t it crazy how these guys basically decide their season how good the team can be
I really believe that Adou Thierro is the wild card. If he shows decent basketball IQ he can be their starting wing on game one
Adou is a good player who I think will play meaningful minutes but I like Carr better as a potential starter
i think so too but carr needs time to get his body right and then adapt to it. he will be more interesting in his 2nd season
I think the front office wants both of them to end up being starters cause if they both develop how the front office wants that’s about as good as it’s gonna get to put alongside Luka/AR/Kessler
I get what you are saying but that isn’t correct. They have moments but it’s your core starters that bring results. No one is saying that Clarson and Mcbride were the deciding factors in the knicks wining the championship. Besides, these guys may play 1-3 minutes in the playoffs and it’s usually garbage time.
You mean Jordan Clarkson not Clarson and this has nothing to do with the Knicks they have OG and Mikal and Josh Hart the lakers wing players are questionable
The point is that the guys are the end of the bench rarely make a meaningful difference.
If you’re relying on BRONNY JAMES to decide how your season goes then I’ma pray for Lakers fans.
Anyways they have like 4 or 5 bench players that will play ahead of them.
Thybulle, Laravia, Sexton, Grimes, Looney, Zaire…I imagine all of them are higher on the depth chart. Maybe Carr cracks the rotation.
The 10th and 11th players aren’t deciding a team’s season.
Thybulle and Looney aren’t NBA players my dude.
Lakers are one injury away from cooked
What? Thybulle is quite literally a top 15 perimeter defender today?
How is he not an NBA player?
No he’s not, he’s nowhere near that good, if he were, he wouldn’t be on a minimum damn near out of the league.
Off the back of my head I’m taking Ausar Thompson, Scottie Barnes, Dyson Daniels, Jaden McDaniels, Mikal Bridges, Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, Steph Castle, Amen Thompson, Marcus Smart, Herb Jones, Toumani Camara, Derrick White, OG Anunoby all over him and there’s probably like a dozen more players I could name if I really thought about it.
And Bronny James/Adou Thiero are? Either way the Lakers literally went out and signed both of them on purpose lol.
Thybulle’s defense still has some value especially on a team with Luka. Looney can still set good screens and get some rebounds.
I don’t think the Lakers bench is good or anything but all of those players will be higher on the depth chart than Bronny or Thiero
The point I’m making is that it doesn’t matter who, among these poor players, is higher on the depth chart.
They’re all bad.
Maybe we’re surprised by one of these guys but it’s doubtful
Thybulle is, he just can’t stay healthy.
I don’t think this is a true statement at all but it would be funny if it was.
Maybe Cam Carr. The other two shouldn’t be in the rotation on a playoff team.
Shouldn’t based on last year? Cause they’re all young and could be. Even then bronny actually got some minutes in the playoffs and was solid against one of the worst matchups for him if not the worst. I don’t think he’ll be in the rotation cause of all the guards on this team but if there’s injuries he could be a solid replacement
No
Was anyone else surprised how crisp the Video was and how awful the audio was?
No Dalton?
I mean Dalton is 25 going on 26. I don’t really think he counts as a “developing” young player anymore. Even Jake LaRavia is younger than him lol
Even Jake LaRavia is younger than him
Still?
And will continue to for the foreseeable future.
Dalton sucks respectfully, if he doesn’t show something this season he’s on his way out the league.
He’d be pretty lucky to not get waived and even then I’m not sure how many teams would want him, the nuggets seem like they’ll take anyone but I don’t know who else

I mean that will affect anyone’s mental health regardless of how much money they make. Like your GF breaking up with you and tried to take you back the next day because the guy she tried to be with didn’t quite work out…
He played some of his best ball after the failed trade. He has sucked since then though
He was bad the months before the trade better after then terrible in his sophomore season. If you drew a chart of his performance the trade doesn’t cause a downswing
What a shit take. Dalton can ball he just needs to be coached up
hes been coached for multiple years and only regressed. take off the lakers glasses for a second and watch the guy play, he doesnt even remember what hes supposed to do in the halfcourt sets.
dude is just lost, a bad defender, and lost his confidence to shoot - his one big talent.
This is a shit take bro, if you need coaching to show an ounce of effort on the floor then the NBA isn’t for you. He is the worst defender in the NBA and his offense is nowhere close to being useful
It’s crazy how the college game just doesn’t translate to the NBA. Dalton wasn’t infinitely better college than Carr and now look at him.
Has Bronny surpassed Robert Sacre as the Lakers towel waving goat?
I hope Adou proves himself this season
Have a feeling Cameron Carr is gonna end up being really good.
“We’re excited to have Bronny”
(Proceeds to play him only in garbage time)
One claps, one waves a towel, one gets Gatorade ready for timeouts. Rotate.
Bronny might end up out of the league before his daddy.
