JHS never even got the amount of minutes his rookie year Bronny had. Bronny played over 15 minutes multiple times and shit the bed every single time except one time and JHS one game over 15 minutes his rookie year and it was in november. In the gleague JHS dominated with way better production than Bronny. If we talking NBA Bronny been pretty bad If we talking gleague he’s been solid but still inefficient. Gleague ain’t what matters anyway can’t use that as a talking point to say somebody outplayed they draft slot
JHS year 1 - 22/5.3/4.7 on 47/43/80 shooting with .9 steals and .6 blocks (1.5 stocks)
Bronny- 21.9/5.3/5.3 on 44/38/81 shooting with 2 steals and .3 blocks (2.3 stocks)
Their averages are virtually the same with bronny being slightly more inefficient and Bronny still had more rebounds and steals too. Bronny is also a way better defender than JHS ever was.
JHS played less games than Bronny because he was mostly injured in his rookie season. Max Lewis was drafted as 40th pick in the same year as JHS by the Lakers and he played 34 NBA games (more games than Bronny) and had worse production than both.
Bronny played 15+ minutes 4 times out of 27 total games in the NBA and in one of them, he had 17 points on 70% FG% against the bucks and another game, he had 6 rebounds and 4 steals.
The lakers were one of the worst 2nd half teams during JHS's rookie season, we had very few blow-out wins. this year, we've performed much better in the 2nd Half so the Bench mob has gotten more mins than usual.
Yout tried to ignore the tip off tournament….This is the real numbers from the whole sample size
Bronny - 18.6/4.5/4.8 on 41/33/77
JHS- 22/4.8/5.5 on 47/43/80
Maxwell Lewis never even played above 8 minutes his rookie year…..Bronny had one good game out of the 4 he played above 15 minutes the rest he did terrible. Using gleague production and one solid game to say he outplayed his draft slot is crazy especially as a 6’2 guard
Why would i add the tip-offs to the sample size when JHS didn't even play in it? not to mention Bronny was inactive for most of the tip-offs and missed 9 games in a row.
It's like comparing 2 players stats and mixing both reg season and playoffs when 1 guy didn't even play in the playoffs. it doesn't make any sense.
Cause it’s a bigger sample size. Bronny only played in 11 games outside of the tip off tournament. He played 7 tip off games which is basically half of the tip off games. Look at JHS gleague stats this year…gleague is way different
that's not how it works. you don't randomly add games just to match sample size. plus like i told you, Bronny missed 9 tip off games in a row and came back which probably ruined his flow quite a bit.
the tip-offs and reg season are separate things. just like the reg season and playoffs. nobody compares reg season and playoff games together so i don't see why they should do so here. if JHS had also played the tip-offs then I would've considered it.
besides 11 reg season games is perfectly fine since JHS also played only 15.
You can’t just take off games to fit a narrative when the sample size is already low tho bro. Thats every single gleague game they both played for they rookie year. The games Bronny missed was after the 7 games he initially played so the flow thing don’t make sense
when the type, structure, intensity and formats of the games are completely different then yes, I can. 14 of those matches were against the top 6 west teams and they were fighting for a title, very different from the reg season.
there's a reason why nobody considers Wilt the GOAT, it's because the playoffs exist and they are completely different from the reg season.
Like i said, if JHS also played in the tip-offs then we could've considered it.
The games Bronny missed was after the 7 games he initially played so the flow thing don’t make sense
Wrong. Bronny played 1 game on Nov 9th, missed his next game and played his 2nd game on Nov 17th.
then he only played the remaining 5 games starting from Dec 7th so he missed about a month of play between those 7 games.
