What are your thoughts on his lists?

Bronny has had more turnovers than points scored in 4 games. He’s scored 11 points in total in 4 games and has had 12 turnovers in those games.

Bronny has been having stinker after stinker in preseason games against even lesser competition. He’s been by far the worst player on the team impact wise.

LeBron James expects the Miami Heat's new-look roster, built around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, to become one of the NBA's most feared teams.

"My initial thoughts? It's gonna be damn good," James said on the latest Mind the Game podcast with co-host Steve Nash.

Miami acquired Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis from the Milwaukee Bucks in July, sending Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, and a major package of draft capital in return.

The Heat later added Klay Thompson and Tim Hardaway Jr. while retaining Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, and Davion Mitchell.

"Obviously, we've seen what Bam has been able to do over the last few seasons," James said. "He's actually started to shoot the three a lot more. That's pivotal.

"We know with Giannis, he needs space. He wants space. He creates space. That's when he's really good, when he can attack the 45, or he can get to the gaps, and he has guys around him that create space.

"So I think with Bam's ability to now shoot the three, I think that helps out a lot."

Adebayo significantly increased his three-point volume last season, attempting 5.5 triples per game and making 31.8% of them after averaging only 3.0 attempts the year before.

LeBron was even more enthusiastic about Miami's defensive potential.

"I think defensively, they're gonna be damn good," James said. "You look at Wiggins, you look at Bam, you look at Giannis, you look at Davion Mitchell – guys that, that's what they kind of hang their hats on. They're gonna be damn good."

The four-time NBA champion also pointed to Erik Spoelstra as a key reason why he expects the new pieces to fit together.

"You have Spo there," LeBron continued. "Spo is always gonna know how to put the pieces in the right position, in the right place."

"And then you add Klay," James noted. "Adding Klay, I think it gives Bam some more reassurance, like, okay, I have a little bit more space. Tim Hardaway Jr., some more space."

"Bobby Portis is one of my favorite players," James continued. "I love Bobby Portis. He's one of my favorite players. He brings an edge, and he's a winner. He's another champion as well. So he's been there. He knows what the long run is.

"That's a very exciting team."
