Well, Bronny can be called a stable player, considering he performed about the same way in the summer league last year.
As for Cooper, I was surprised by his stats. More specifically, he made so many shot attempts in this game, which is unusual for a rookie.
He’s been given the green light, and rightfully so.. he’s not just any rookie; he’s the number 1 overall pick. Most likely, he’ll be a starter right away, and this is the perfect time for him to get used to the NBA style and really familiarize himself with the system.
as for Bronny, man, I hope he gets more playing time next season and becomes more stable.. it’s tough seeing him constantly criticized, he’s clearly living under the shadow of his father, and that kind of pressure isn’t easy to carry.
The downside for Cooper is that he is not playing against NBA stars at the moment, he is playing against Summer league players. And he is not at high school or college anymore and even at summer league level he got some trouble.
People are saying "he will get used to it" but what is he even getting used to right now? He played high school and college before, and he is playing at g-league level players mostly, or end of the bench players for nba, he is not playing nba starter level players, so he is not getting used to anything he hasn't seen before, and even with that, he still played quite badly. I do hope he gets better with time, but that will happen with experience, most players are not at their best all of their rookie season, they keep getting better later on, after like 4th season they start to peak.
