Why argue?

Pose it to the board.  Is Claxton a "great" player or not? 

We throw around that word way too easily. 

We should just put ppl in brackets, like top 5 center? Top 10 center? Claxton is probably top 15 imo.  Wouldn't call that great by NBA standards but that means he's in the top 25% of rotations centers which is solid.  
 

i think where i see ppl have big disconnects is where one person is baking in perceived upside versus judging where players are at today

I've enjoyed listening to Brad a lot more than several other Hawks pods I've found over the years.

He wouldn’t be in the NBA at all if not for nepotism.  It is the reason he has a chance.  Up to him to crave out a role.

Not sure he has a career to ruin but its definitely gonna ruin his mental health

[AHF]

The NBA promoting him like this does him a real disservice.  Makes it impossible for him to live up to expectations which become incredibly unreasonably for someone with his talent.  Agree Jeff that constantly falling short of those expectations combined with the failure to live up to his father can’t be great for him mentally.  Hope he has a strong sense of self worth without having a massive ego.  That would serve him well if he can shut a lot of that out and just give it his best.

Why in the hell did he stay in the draft?  LeBron is about to retire anyway and Bronny will be immediately cut.  Bron should have told him to stay in school.  

If he stayed in college for 4 years, improved, he could have become a late first/early 2nd and enter the NBA when he was much more ready to contribute and actually have a chance at a career.  But after this abomination noone is ever going to give him another chance.
