Obviously, Bronny's been kind of shuttling back and forth.
00:03
We haven't heard from him in a while.
00:04
He had actually won a pretty huge game in the G-League a week or two ago.
00:09
So, last night, Lakers, a little short-handed, last five minutes of the first quarter,
00:15
J.J. Redick threw him out there and let him get some burn.
00:18
Seems like he regretted it afterwards.
00:20
You know, just felt like on a back-to-back, just him giving us energy, I think, was the goal.
00:27
You know, maybe put him in a tough spot, you know, flying up yesterday
00:33
and, you know, a nationally televised game in Philly and all that stuff.
00:39
It's, you know, he didn't play well.
00:42
But he's been playing great, you know, in the stay-ready games
00:47
and he's been playing great in the G.
00:49
So, I have confidence in him.
00:53
But, obviously, didn't provide that at a high level.
01:01
Listen, honestly, when are these guys going to come to grips with the fact
01:05
that this kid's not ready for the NBA yet
01:08
and they just keep shoving him down our throats as if he is?
01:12
I don't deny that the kid has talent.
01:15
I don't deny that he's got a really bright future.
01:19
And he's going through the process that I think all players have to go through nowadays
01:25
that are really good players.
01:28
Really good players start out now in the G League
01:33
and great players start out at the end of the bench in the NBA.
01:38
And there's a big difference between being really good and being great.
01:42
You know, let's face facts.
01:45
Canek can flat out score and shoot and play basketball
01:50
and they barely play him.
01:52
I mean, let's just face facts.
01:54
And he's a way better player than Bronny.
01:57
I think Bronny's more athletic than him.
02:00
I think he's a stud, athletically speaking.
02:03
And I think that his future will be in the NBA.
02:07
But, for now, why don't they just leave him where he belongs
02:11
and quit trying to F around with us?
02:13
Quit trying to prove all of us wrong when all of us are right.
02:18
It's as simple as that.
02:20
I never thought he should have even been in the G League.
02:23
I thought he should have been playing college basketball this year.
02:26
I thought he should have transferred somewhere that gives him massive burn
02:30
and that he played the entirety of games.
02:33
And that he would be more valuable than ever after a year of seasoning
02:38
at the college level because he never really played at USC.
