I mean, having Lebron as a father is on a whole other level. Who even knows who Catchings' mom and aunt are outside of Indiana and now BYU? Did you know before the news articles told you?

Maybe but his physical stats are underwhelming too. He's listed as a SG at only 6'1.5".

Are you saying he'll be like them? Sounds like you're a huge Bronny fan.

The narrative that he isn’t a competent player when at the combine he did well

Not necessarily. I think his college production/draft stock were hurt by the cardiac issue he had right at the start of
