Thats what I'm saying!!! Coach needs to wake tf up or leave

[@a0pitre]

Great job on Bronnys part and Bailey. Terrible coaching job! Just because all season you’ve been full court pressing sub par teams and it’s been effective, if you go up against a team that’s breaking the press 85-90% of the time and scoring on over 75-80% of those, you have to drop back and play good 1 on 1 defense or zone. I felt Sierra was just running all over the floor during the press with no purpose other than to give up a bucket to the other team. They could have easily won this game if they would have trashed the full court press.

[@tylercurtis3265]

Straight facts

You’re matching up with the # 1 player in your class and position and you don’t go at him lol 🤦🏽‍♂️. I’m growing to accept that asking this kid to score is asking too much, so I’ve lowered my expectations. The handle ain’t there and I have never seen an actual offensive bag from him. If it ain’t an open lay up or spot up 3, he ain’t got much else to work with. I accept what his game is at this level, but we gotta stop the fake optimism.

[@chriscoleman92]

They have so many players the coach feel obligated to give them some minutes rather then win the game.

[@johnredcorn6625]

@@chriscoleman92 facts you hit it on the head. The main issue is the roster construction. I can tell SC’s coach promised a lot of these kids minutes and more opportunities to play. That’s why he plays the entire roster in 3 min shifts rather than just playing the best players and letting them get a rhythm. Subbing people out every few minutes just because you can is dumb. Also he needs to give up his love affair with Moteoyer, there is no reason that kid should be starting every game.

[@jahthedreamr]

Love the Bronny optimism in the comments. But we been trying to tell you all this from the jump. Watch a complete game and see for yourself that he’s really good. SC struggles bc of selfish play and spotty coaching. The way the two teams played was night and day when it shouldn’t have been. SC coaching seems to focus on a “system” of 3 to 4 stars playing their own way versus actually learning and thinking the game. Lineups are not the best and somebody has to tell more than a few of the players that if they just look for one more pass when they think about shooting they’ll be undefeated.

[@jonnycolley]

Facts!! Great comment. The seniors are selfish. Refuse to make the extra pass. The zone kills them becuase of lack of ball and body movement. Gonna look even worse in Chicago next week if they don’t play as a team. That teams entire lineup is over 6”7.

[@eyewatch2see77]

SC coach doesn't know sht what he's doing. Bronny should play all but 2-3 minutes of this game and every offense should run through him because he's the only one who knows what he's doing. Also, you can't keep going with the full court press against a good team like Camden and they should have focused on the half court defense.

[@johnredcorn6625]

Dude has been an idiot since the shit he pulled with DWade’s son Zaire. He thinks stacking a team and running press all day is coaching. Dude plays 12 guys deep and runs them in 3 min shifts. Starts that trash kid Meteoyer for absolutely no reason. By far the worst coach in Highschool.

And SC needs to change up the defense because if defense keeps playing like that they will loose

[@GeneralRock114]

People need to stop giving Bronny so much credit when he’s not performing no where near in talent level. He has as much or more than anyone on his team or his class, yet he doesn’t play no where near his talent level. He has one of the purest jumper in the country but only attempts to shoot he’s wide open. He never attempts to take anyone off the dribble and very rarely drives to the bucket. When he brings the ball up, he passes it as soon as he’s defended. He tends to stay on the opposite side of the ball taking himself out of the offense. He plays like LeBron did in the NBA championship Dallas. It actually seems like he has no confidence or don’t want to be on the floor. When he was on the floor, the team didn’t make as many turnovers, but if he would asserted himself and been more aggressive like Bailey, then would have won that game. There’s no reason he shouldn’t be top 5 in the ESPN poll instead on 43. The big difference I saw between him and Wagner was quickness off the dribble. But, Bronny never takes anyone off the dribble because he gives the ball up as soon and someone covers him. Maybe, they have him playing out of position as a PG. Maybe, this is a coaching issue and he should be a SG where the coach is getting him at least 10 shots per game. What did he shoot, 5 jumpers last nigh?? Best jumper in the country!!! Actually, his formal teammate Brandon Boston said Bronny would be the best player in the country his senior year. This shows what kind of talent he was showing in practice, but for whatever reason he’s not showing nothing like that in games.

[@durayfarris]

[@johnredcorn6625]

Best assessment of the kid that I’ve seen. I always said people are doing him a disservice by not being honest with him. Where I disagree with you is I think his issues are skill related. He doesn’t have a great handle and has never shown any 1-on-1 scoring skills, that’s why he struggles to create his own offense. I think unfortunately it’s too late for him. I don’t see him growing anymore, and at 6’2 he’s limited as guard with a weak handle and inability to create offense by himself. People forget but he’s a full year older than DJ Wagner. I think we need to accept what he is and move on. Kid never asked for any of this, nor has he ever stated that basketball is his life. Let him have fun and lower your expectations. This game showed me everything I needed to see. I was expecting him to get up for this game especially since he was matching up with DJ, the # 1 player in his class and position. Boy showed fire at all. If he can’t do it in Highschool he ain’t ever doing at any level above that.

[@CREOLEHEAT]

I don't think Bronny loves playing basketball. He clearly loves playing video games. There are more videos of him doing that than any pick up ball or gym run. I don't think he'd play past high school if it wasn't for LeBron constantly going on & on about how he wants to play with him in the NBA. He's playing to make dad happy.

[@GeneralRock114]

@@CREOLEHEAT I think you are correct. At least that’s the way it seems to me. A lot of kid dedicate themselves as a way out of a bad situation. But, a kid that has access to anything that’s reasonable, there’s probably not a lot of motivation. It has to be a terrible burden on him being arguably the son of the greatest NBA player in history.

[@jakecake2908]

amari bailey is an amazing talent but my god he really slows this team down. Too much of a ball hog. Miss the sophomore year when he was a team player. Coaches don’t know how to properly adjust their game when it doesn’t work. Bronny, Nyarko and Elohim looked amazing. I think next year will when we truly see team baskerball.

[@johnredcorn6625]

Name us the guards who averaged 8 ppg in their junior year of Highschool, that are dominating the league right now? Even pass first players like Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul were elite scorers in Highschool. CP3 even scored 63 pts in Highschool game before. They NBA doesn’t draft PG’s for defense & hustle! You have to be a bucket at the PG position today.

[@laonesetshedi5517]

@@PRODbyKingDavis that's not what was asked of you. Look I don't agree with 100% of what @John Redcorn said but you seem to be struggling to rebut against his point. On the other hand I will say that while the NBA isn't drafting the majority of guards for their defense it really helps draftees get minutes early in their careers off the bench. Guys like Tyrese Maxey and Divenchenzo are prime examples of players who got minutes in teams that are champ contenders because of their defense and hustle. Those minutes are what helped them show off that they've got chops on the offensive end.

[@PRODbyKingDavis]

@@laonesetshedi5517 the point I try to make and will continue to make is that bronny is proving that he can be a lead guard on on of the top teams is the country… SC is full of D1/NBA talent and it has been since he was a freshman…. Anyone that knows basketball and that has played beyond high school can see that bronny can score with the best of them… anyone with a basketball IQ beyond nba2k/overtime/ball is life can see that bronny is playing a role that his team needs him to play… and another thing… arguably the best basketball player in the history of the game taught bronny how to play this was and people say that he sucks 😂😂😂 .. on a serious note I know what was asked of me but I don’t need to rebut because I understand the game more than most in these KZbin comments
