2002duck No. 2 Share Posted May 7, 2023 No surprise. Bad day for the Athletic Department ticket sales reps, an OK day for the Ducks. Oregon doesn't need the drama if Bronnie doesn't start. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 7 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) All of the inherent noise about having LeBron's kid on the Ducks aside, he would have been a decent addition as a 2-guard. Provided he could still shoot 40% from three with a talented Pac12 6'7" defender's hand in his face. He would have ultimately been a distraction, particularly when Dad and Dana had a difference of opinion on his playing time, coaching and role in the offense. And the pressure from all sides for Bronny to be a one and done. Oregon will have enough young 5☆ talent to mesh together with Shelstadt, Evans and Cook. Add in the returning veteran bigs in Bittle and Dante, guards Barthelemy(?) and Cousinard, and quality transfers (particularly Tracey) and an undersized shooter really isn't a need. A 6'8" wing that can draw a defense out and drain the trey is. Avoiding the King and Son show frees up a scholly slot to find that kid and reduces the drama factor for Altman and crew.

We have enough things to overcome...bodyguards and entourage for a player? 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
