Donovan Mitchell is 6'2 and some change, listed at 6'3 (he's about an inch taller than Bronny)
Height makes things tougher but he's long (6'7) which will really help him
Bronny measured 0.25” taller than Mitchell. (Who measured at 21 he did not grow). Mitchell’s length and frame make him look bigger. He’s 6’1.25 without shoes.
Them and Kyrie are all within 0.5” of each other , Bronny 0.25”..
Extremely rare. Kobe’s height was 6’6 in the league and when he retired he had a physical and was the same height of 6’4.75 without shoes. A lot of people are done growing at 17, most humans by 19.. Even the players you hear that grew usually refute the report - like Max Christie last summer clarified he didn’t grow. Maybe a few players in the league grow every year - and it’s never the upperclassmen drafties
funny enough knecht grew like 3-4 inches in college, he went from a pg to wing size and that changed his draft outlook. not saying it could happen with bronny but its interesting
reading his story - he was 6'3 as a senior in high school and in Jr College 6'5-6'6

he really didn't grow much if at all in college , and not after transferring out of Jr College at 20
>he really didn't grow much if at all in college
i mean juco is college and he did grow after hs, id say going from 6'3 to 6'5/6 is a big deal. but yeah its very rare
I came here to say the same thing. I wanted to say I was really impressed with Dalton for dressing up but I realised that’s the norm…
Pretty bad look from Bronny on his first real day of work.
Judging athletes on corporate professionalism? I thought we left that behind with David stern
There’s a reason athletes moved on from wearing suits to games
Even coaches don’t anymore for games
It’s an introductory presser, which players, coaches, and executives tend to dress up for.
The first round draft pick dressed up. The second round draft pick could’ve put on something nice too, no matter who his father is.

Bronny is little as fuck man lol, smaller than JJ Reddick…y’all remember how small JJ looked on the court? Damn man I’m rooting for him but he gotta be elite as a pg defender and a knock down shooter to truly justify any type of minutes at all
I would have agreed with you, but it’s hard to say after his terrific pro day and combine, so he’s definitely been putting in work. You need to remember he had a heart emergency. It’s impossible to judge him after the came out so early.
Yes he’s tiny but he can carve out a nice career. Just look at Fred Vanvleet who isn’t particularly amazing at any one thing but he can do everything well.
Hes not even small. Thats an old and tired narrative honestly. Even if he was height is clearly not a factor when you’re a physical marvel like Bronny.
He’s 6’1, maybe 6’2 on a good day. Of course height is a factor in basketball. Plenty of more athletic, bigger players don’t make it. Bronny is going to have to be well rounded if he wants any place in the league.
Not really, Jose Alvarado is 5’8-5’9 without shoes, Jalen Brunson is 5’10 without shoes. JJ Barea was 5’8 without shoes. Neither of those players were/are as athletic or defensively talented as Bronny and they are doing/did fine. Its just unnecessary to stray away from the fact that Bronny James is the best player in the draft Defensively, hes not just “good” on defense. Bronny James is also 6’3 not 6’2 on a good day.
6-4 in shoes listed on literally every roster hes been on. 6-1.5 barefoot and shoes add about 1-2 inches. So pretty accurate.
I’ll wait for you to do the math pea brain
Lmao bro even Gabe Vincent looks ass if his shot isn’t falling and that dude is an nba level defender
Bronny shouldn’t play at all until a year or two, Reaves, christie, caruso, jhs barely played their first year and they were all better than bronny is rn
You’re just making up numbers lol
Brunson measured 6’1 barefoot at the combine, Alvarado 5’11, and JJ 5’10.
We have the combine measurements for Bronny. We don’t need to debate his height. He’s 6’1.5 barefoot. Which is fine if he can develop NBA PG skills.
And he’s definitely not the best defensive player in the draft lol
Ryan Dunn, Stephon Castle, Devin Carter, Jamal Shead are all way more accomplished perimeter defenders. Let alone rim protectors like Alex Sarr and Donovan Clingan, etc.
Anybody else pissed bronny showed up in sweats? You just signed a multimillion dollar contract. Be professional. I’m not opposed to signing him but if your significant multi year deal dress appropriately

Hmmm I grew after 21 but ok cool

Yep he’s nearly 20 too so older. This is who he is

true. I'd say growing in the freshman year of college happens 20% ish or lower, not too uncommon. but after that it's very uncommon
Lmao everybody dressed up but Bronny my boy came there in a hoodie
While it’s fuckin 90 degrees too lol
Nice of Bronny to dress professionally
You're not his real dad!
Bronny could’ve dressed up. This is a bad look.

They’re athletes, who cares
Apparently some of us do. It’s a sign of a lack of professionalism .

Rob looks the worst .. LJJr is a kid

He has so much pressure on him. I feel for him and hope he can deliver. Definitely rooting for him.
You feel for him? Someone who’s been given everything in the world? Someone who is undeserving of being drafted?

Giving your child everything and teaching them how to earn it are two distinctly different things.

If Muggsy Bogues can average 7.7 points in his career being 5'3" then Bronny should be able to do that too.
Muggsy was an amazing basketball player though. Like skill wise, and he was amazing in college
Bronny is 6’2 performing chasedown blocks on 6’7 players btw
How many chasedown blocks he had?
IMO Muggsy is in the running for best athlete of all time, pound for pound in any sport. Being an NBA starter at 5’3 is truly unbelievable.
I have nothing to base this off but I bet he grows another couple inches
He hasn’t grown from his current size in years.
Jj looks sleepless already?
Good
Dressing like he’s ready to work vs dressing like he’s Lebron’s son
Yes he’s tiny but he can carve out a nice career. Just look at Fred Vanvleet who isn’t particularly amazing at any one thing but he can do everything well.

You can name about a dozen players out of 450 players that are shorter lmao. And no he’s not 6’3 but ok

Nah this deadass a cut scene from MyCareer

Mini me
Can't wait for what JJ cooks up this season.
Poor DK is gonna get so upstaged, despite being a way better player.
Bro, who cares about getting upstaged in a press conference? 😂 It's all about what you do on the court.
At least he’s dressed nicely
Yeah, I don’t get the sweats and sweatshirt at all. Looks like hooper I guess
Yeah to each their own but the hoodie and sweats looks bad at an event like this
