<p>For years,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> scouts</strong>, fans, and analysts alike have discussed<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/Bronny-James-profile-Age-height-weight-college-girlfriend-position-real-name-and-social-media-20230506-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bronny James’ </a></strong>every move, whether it’s minor or major. That’s the kind of pressure and attention that comes <strong>with being <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a>‘ firstborn.</strong></p>



<p>It’s not a secret that Bronny intends to follow in his father’s footsteps in the <strong>National Basketball Association,</strong> and he’s quickly risen in most big boards and mock drafts throughout his high school career.</p>



<p>That’s why plenty of people were expecting his name to be called at some point during the <strong>2023 NBA Draft.</strong> Nonetheless, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> star will have to wait a little longer before his son makes it to the league.</p>



<h2>Why Didn’t Bronny James Declare For The 2023 NBA Draft?</h2>



<p>Simply put, Bronny didn’t declare for the 2023 NBA Draft because he couldn’t. <strong>He </strong>wasn’t eligible, granted that he had to be at least one year removed from high school.</p>



<p>Bronny recently committed to play for the<strong> USC Trojans</strong>. There was plenty of speculation about his future, with some even thinking he was going to take his talents to the G-League.</p>



<p>So, Bronny will need to continue bulking up and working on his craft before taking his talents to the pros, and don’t be shocked to see him<strong> crack the top 10 in the 2024 NBA Draft.</strong></p>

<p>The Warriors seem to believe they can get the most out of Paul <strong>before his championship window finally closes</strong>. This is definitely a huge opportunity for CP3 to win a highly elusive ring, and probably his last chance to have a shot at it.</p>

Warriors trade Jordan Poole for Chris Paul to Wizards: Funniest memes and reactions - Bolavip US

<p>Back in the day,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <strong>NBA </strong></a>players could take their talents straight out of high school to the pros. It wasn’t common, but stars like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kobe-bryant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kobe Bryant</a>, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a></strong> pulled it off with success.</p>



<p>That’s no longer possible. Due to multiple reasons and rule changes, players need to be at least <strong>one year removed from their high school graduation</strong> before being eligible to declare for the NBA Draft.</p>



<p>With that in mind, several college programs set their sights on the best, more NBA-ready prospects to get them ready for the pros, being deemed ‘one-and-done’ players, just like many stars of today’s game<strong>, like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-davis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Davis </a>or Kevin Durant.</strong></p>



<h2>What Are One-And-Done Players?</h2>



<p>Simply put, one-and-done players are guys <strong>who spend a single year in college to get ready for the NBA</strong>. They never intend to commit for their four years of eligibility because they’re a lock to make it to the league.</p>



<p>Nowadays, scouts and GMs often refuse to take sophomore, junior or senior players. <strong>Being older means they seem to have a lower ceiling</strong>, even though that’s not always the case.</p>



<p><strong>That’s why most lottery and first-round picks are just one-and-done. </strong>Those players polish their game and showcase their skills in front of a national audience before declaring for the NBA Draft.</p>


NBA Draft 2023: What is a one and done player?

NBA Draft 2023: What is a one and done player? - Bolavip US

<p>For the past year or so, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>scouts</strong> and<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/victor-wembanyama" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> fans have been enamored with <strong>Victor Wembanyama</strong></a><strong>.</strong> The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-antonio-spurs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Antonio Spurs</a> </strong>might have found a generational talent with him.</p>



<p>Never had a player of Wembannyama’s size showcased such finesse as a ball-handler and such a sweet touch as a shooter. <strong>He’s the ultimate and true unicorn in modern basketball.</strong></p>



<p>Watching him next to actual NBA players <strong>makes them look tiny at times. </strong>And he’s already a lock to rank among the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/who-is-the-tallest-nba-player-ever-20210219-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tallest players in the history of the game,</a> </strong>especially if he keeps growing.</p>



<h2>Victor Wembanyama’s Height, Weight, And Wingspan</h2>



<p>Believe it or not, the 19-year-old Frenchman currently stands at a whopping<strong> 7-foot-5</strong>, which translates to<strong> 226 </strong>centimeters. Unsurprisingly, he boasts<strong> a wingspan of nearly eight feet.</strong></p>



<p>The only concern about him is that he’s currently listed at just <strong>229 pounds, </strong>which is <strong>roughly 103 kg. </strong>He must bulk up to avoid injuries and withstand the physical burden of the NBA.</p>



<p>But if he manages to stay healthy, there’s absolutely no doubt that he might as well go down as one of the <strong>greatest players to ever set foot on a basketball court </strong>once it’s all said and done.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> committed a lot of money to <strong>Jordan Poole. </strong>They knew <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’s </a>run as one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA’</a>s best</strong> would eventually come to an end, so they needed to get younger.</p>



<p>However, with the team still having a championship-caliber core,<strong> Steve Kerr</strong> hasn’t given some of the young pieces a lot of run. He cannot wait for them or allow them to develop if he wants to win another ring.</p>



<p>That lack of playing time and evident frustration made some think that they could look to part ways with <strong>Jonathan Kuminga</strong>. However, <strong>Anthony Slater of The Athletic </strong>doesn’t see that happening now, especially amid the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Draymond Green</strong> </a>contract saga.</p>



<h2>Warriors Aren’t Shopping Jonathan Kuminga</h2>



<p><em><strong>“One of the exploratory conversations that surfaced, via ESPN, was a trade-up scenario involving Kuminga,</strong></em>” reported Slater. <em>“From my understanding, that was an inbound call from a team in the lottery that has registered regular interest in Kuminga dating back a year. <strong>Multiple team sources have been adamant that the Warriors aren’t shopping Kuminga around.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>“Kuminga’s future opportunity (and place in the pecking order) is at least partially tied to Draymond Green,”</em></strong> he continued. <em>“If the Green situation were to go sideways in the next couple of weeks, if he were to walk away from the Warriors for a more expensive offer on the open market, Kuminga would suddenly step into a massive role. <strong>He might start at power forward and would find himself in various lineup combinations with better spacing.”</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>Khris Middleton</strong> has been crucial for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/milwaukee-bucks">Milwaukee Bucks</a></strong>.

<p>Middleton was drafted by the <strong>Detroit Pistons</strong> in 2012 and, just one year later, he was traded to the <strong>Bucks</strong>. That same season, Milwaukee recruited Antetokounmpo and the rest is history. They became one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. </p>

<h2>Khris Middleton set to become a free agent </h2>



<p>According to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski, <strong>Khris Middleton</strong> has declined his $40.4 million player option in order to become a free agent. Now, the big question if he’ll ask for a new deal with the <strong>Bucks</strong> or another team might knock on the door.</p>

<p>All signs point out to a long-term deal with <strong>Milwaukee</strong>. Middleton could be looking at least for a four-year contract around $130 million. Of course, there have been rumors about <strong>Lakers</strong> or Knicks. </p>



<p>However, if he wants another championship, the Bucks will remain a contender in the East even with a new head coach. Adrian Griffin took over after <strong>Mike Budenholzer</strong> was fired. </p>

<p>It’s important to remember that <strong>Khris Middleton</strong> is 31-years old and this could be the last big contract of his professional career. That’s why the move as an unrestricted free agent is logical, but, Milwaukee are not out of the picture at all. Still, who knows if any other big team might tempt him. </p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> </strong>world is entirely focused on <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/victor-wembanyamas-profile-age-height-weight-nationality-parents-and-wingspan-20221006-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Victor Wembanyama</a></strong> right now.

<p>Wembnayama has the potential to be one of the greatest players in the history of the game, and he knows it. He plays with the confidence of <strong>a guy that knows just how special he is.</strong></p>



<p>Nonetheless, even young stars can be starstruck in the National Basketball Association. That’s why he can already imagine himself <strong>going toe-to-toe with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James.</a></strong></p>



<h2>Victor Wembanyama Says It’ll Be Weird To Play Against LeBron James</h2>



<p><em>“I know it’s gonna feel really special when I play against the top guys– Especially LeBron,”</em> Wembanyama told J.J. Redick. <strong><em>“When I play against LeBron, it’s gonna feel so weird.”</em></strong></p>

<h2>LeBron Praised Wembanyama</h2>



<p>Notably, that respect seems to be mutual, as James opened up about Wembanyama’s skill set, going as far as to<strong> call him an alien</strong> because of how unique he is:</p>



<p>“<strong><em>What do I think of him? Probably the same as everybody else thinks,”</em></strong> James said. <strong>“<em>Everybody is labeling [players] this ‘unicorn’ thing; everybody has been a ‘unicorn’ over the last couple years, but he’s more like an alien.</em></strong><em> I’ve never seen — no one has ever seen — anyone as tall as he is but as fluid as he is and as graceful as he is out on the floor. <strong>I mean, at 7-foot-4 or 7-foot-5 or 7-foot-3 or whatever the case may be, [with] his ability to put the ball on the floor, shoot step-back jumpers out of the post, step-back threes, catch-and-shoot threes, block shots — he’s for sure a generational talent.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>“Hopefully, he continues to stay healthy; that’s what is most important for him personally,”</em></strong> James continued. <em>“But you can tell he loves the game; he was smiling a lot while playing the game last night.<strong> I think those were the two best players in the [2023] draft on the floor last night, and they both did their thing.

<p>Alabama standout <strong>Brandon Miller</strong> is expected to be the No. 2 or No. 3 pick in <strong>tonight’s<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a> Draft.</strong> There’s a big chance that the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/charlotte-hornets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charlotte Hornets</a></strong> will take him to try and pair him with<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-tracy-mcgrady-says-lamelo-ball-should-join-the-lakers-20220419-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <strong>LaMelo Ball.</strong></a></p>



<p>Miller had already made the news for a gun-related incident earlier in the college basketball season. Then, people mocked him for claiming that <strong>Paul George was the GOAT of basketball.</strong></p>



<p>Now, the young forward may have granted himself some even more unwanted attention, as he recently talked about how he <strong>trash-talked <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Jordan </a>himself,</strong> going as far as to call him a ‘regular guy.’</p>



<h2>Brandon Miller Says He Trash-Talked ‘Regular Guy’ Michael Jordan</h2>



<p><em><strong>“Working out in front of Michael Jordan, a lot of people told me I’d be under pressure, but MJ was never the guy I grew up watching, I grew up watching Paul George,”</strong></em> Miller said. </p>



<p>“<em><strong>Michael Jordan was just a regular guy in the gym watching me work out,” </strong></em>he continued. <em>“He definitely sounds like how he does on TV; he was trash-talking– He told me I was just a shooter. I know my talents and abilities, can’t let Jordan get into your head. I<strong> was kinda talking trash back to me. I witnessed him airball a free throw too; I’ll have that against him. It’s just him being old. Lace ’em up.”</strong></em></p>
