I Have Never Seen A NBA Prospect Like Bronny James

Bronny James is a NBA prospect like no other. #nba
Over the years, I have made videos tracking LeBron James Jr., Bronny.
But I have never seen a more confusing prospect than this.
And now he got drafted to the Lakers, congratulations to Bronny!
We’ve seen Michael Jordan’s son Marcus get to the college stage a bit off of name too and then fizzle out and even he averaged more points.
Bronny shouldn’t be here, and yet his potential has always been sky high, enough to validate contention. We’ll get to his upside but Bronny wasn’t ready for the NBA draft, he should have never declared, yet he would have developed into a NBA player. So how good is Bronny actually?
At first, Bronny was compared to his dad LeBron. But even at 15, it was apparent that while they may have similar traits ad tendencies of high IQ basketball, getting players involved, LeBron was a freak athlete that Bronny just didn’t develop into, nor did Bronny play in systems where he was the main option. The only thing that was better was his jumpshot but that isn’t saying the most.
Bronny didn’t show much during his high school years, buried under other NBA prospects like Brandon Boston Jr. and Amari Bailey.
but he was always well regarded.
College was his chance to finally show a bit of growth in his game, while he physically stopped growing and ended at 6’ 3”, that was a lie 6’ 1.5”, everyone wanted to see his athleticism, his playmaking, just him doing more than 15 minutes a night.
We were robbed of the opportunity to see what Bronny was capable of because a majority of the season was spent in Bronny just working his way back after a hiatus without being able to train with the team before the season. His subpar averages of 4.8 points on 36% from the field, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, alright is anyone going into the draft with these averages, what? But we couldn’t definitively be attributed to his game or his health.
I can’t definitely say that Bronny is or isn’t an NBA prospect. This draft class has also been considered by many to be weak.
But there’s a narrative that LeBron, that Klutch sports want to fulfill. LeBron and Bronny being the first father son duo in NBA history to play at the same time. And for that to happen, Bronny needed to be in the draft this year, at least since LeBron doesn’t know exactly when his last season would be and that this goal has seemingly been the driving force.
And that’s what has me a bit angry. Because what should have happened was Bronny staying an additional year at USC. Working his way up through the draft rankings through his play.
It’s not like he had no shot. In fact, I think some of the stuff we’ve seen from Bronny look incredible.
His on-ball defense was suffocating. Essentially, he played winning basketball, made the right plays. Despite the not crazy 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals, no advanced stats in high school so this looks alright, he was 20th in his class, seemed like a late first round pick by several scouts. They liked everything he was bringing to the game.
In fact, in high school, he was actually ahead of Reed Sheppard, close to Rob Dillingham, both of which would be drafted in the lottery this year.
And in some key matchups Bronny outperformed some of the top guys in this year’s draft, like at the Nike Hoop Summit when he played for the Team USA select team vs world, going at Risearcher, the eventual number one overall pick, a game filled with eventual first round picks, Ron Holland, Jared McCain, Isaiah Collier. **and Bronny looked like he belonged. Playing great perimeter defense
That doesn’t make him the better prospect but it shows his capabilities.
If you watch the USC games, you can see that Bronny just wasn’t well incorporated in the offense, probably due to the late start. USC’s top recruit that year was another guard Isaiah Collier, so Bronny was going to be the focal point. And as USC coach Andy Enfield would say aftergames, “We just went with our veterans down the stretch, but he has continued to improve as a player.”
But also, he was playing more off-ball, as a combo guard. His handles were good, but not great. His shot looked good, but fluky. Soft touch around the rim but not consistent. His defense, yeah that was there.
But Bronny, even when he had a start for USC was unable to really create too much offense.
Yes he made the right plays, passes off mismatches, but it wasn’t him creating problems for the defense.
Now in the NBA, he’ll be able to develop behind the scenes, but will he get enough reps in? Will he be able to improve in game? It hurts him at the stage he’s in.
Maybe I’m in the minority but I think Bronny could’ve made it in the NBA if he had just gotten a chance to improve. ****But now it’s always gonna be LeBron got his son drafted. He’s living in his dad’s shadow. He doesn’t deserve that. He seems like a great person and has handled the pressure so well. Let him make his own name because he’s capable of it.

[@rafaelojeda2777]

nah man! its crazy. i agree with you, i think that he woulve made it into the NBA on his own, maybe after 2 more years. Right now he is not ready and this is all because lebron wants it. i think that the kid has potential and even more maturity than lebron. the way he has handled all of this has been top notch, but this next season will be a wakeup call and i feel really sorry for him because his dad made everything harder for him and maybe just maybe even ruin it for him.

I have nothing against, Bronny. Seems like a nice kid. BUT, based PURELY on basketball talent. He has no business being in the NBA. He has very little business starting on a high-level D1 school. His heart attack has nothing to do with it. That kept him from training for about 2 months. This kid got NBA level training since he could walk. 2 months isn't going to be the difference between 4.8 pts/g and 25 pts/g. Nor shooting 26.7% and 38%. He will play as long as his father does. Then potentially finish out his rookie contract. Then be done. Honestly, he shouldn't even be playing with his heart condition. Especially when he's already loaded for life. There's no reason to risk death for bball.

You have way more confidence in Bronny than I do. I don't even think he'll play out his rookie contract. I think once LeBron retires, Bronny will immediately be either traded, or most likely be sent down to the g-league for a few seasons. After a season or two, he'll likely be out of the NBA completely.

[@akkoismydaughter3573]

he is a 55 second pick, when is the last time a 55 second pick proved they had business being in the nba? at that point in the draft, might as well give lebron what he wanted you not gonna get anything crazier

Now if Rich is willing to lie to people publicly like that about Bronny, it stands to reason he probably lied to Bronny James too. XD Maybe Bronny actually believes those lies that Rich and LeBron are telling him. Either that, or he probably sees the NBA as his birthright considering that's probably part of the lies his daddy is telling him.

However, I have a feeling that's exactly what's going to happen considering you have LeBron who sees Bronny as being better than he actually is, and you have a puppet head coach hand picked by LeBron. This isn't going to end well. And if they sign Rajon Rondo like I heard Anthony Davis allegedly wants? Oh boy. That's really going to be a recipe for disaster.

If we're being honest this is a two-sided thing, if you have a son and you could help your son out you would do it. The other side is if you were the guy that could have had that roster spot you got f*****. Welcome to life gentlemen, welcome to life.

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

This is why I don't think they should play Bronny significant minutes outside of garbage time during games until he earns them over time. He needs to be given the Kobe Bryant treatment, and ride the bench until he proves himself in practices and whatnot to earn more minutes. Not comparing Kobe to Bronny, but I'm just saying that making Bronny earn his minutes would not only help his development and confidence in the NBA as he develops his game, but it would also show his teammates and his competitors that he isn't just going to play significant minutes because of his dad.

[@Anon-qp3kt]

If I know my son doesn’t have what it takes or better yet, had a cardiac arrest before, I’d let some other team draft him. But again, I don’t have dreams of playing ball with my son professionally

Bronny isn’t ready for the NBA but, because LeBron James happens to be his father he skipped some steps and got drafted. We’ll see what happens, I wish Bronny nothing but the best.

[@Lex02615]

Dude you gave him waaaaay too much credit. His potential is not sky high, he doesn't play winning basketball as you said usc is shit with him and he's not even the 3rd best on that team and his defense ain't suffocating.

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

According to reports, they said literally every player he had to guard at the combine blew right past him. And keep in mind, we all know over half those players at the combine won't even make the g league potentially. Let alone the NBA. Although to be fair with zone defenses being a thing, the Lakers might be able to hide Bronny on defense, but that means everyone else on the floor with him has to step up on defense, which includes his dad, LeBron. And given how LeBron tends to slack off on defense sometimes at his age, I don't see that happening.

[@Anon-qp3kt]

Zach Edey would stomp his ahh hard and posterize him but somehow Bronny has sky high potential. Forget the players, even the rookies would stop him

[@isaiah773]

He's a solid and smart player. Ya'll going off of his half season at USC. He has the potential to continue to get better, especially being alongside with his Dad who is still playing at a high level. He'll be with him full time now. Imagine how good he can be if he's working out with Lebron and working just as hard and learning the game as opposed to only working out with his dad sometimes, he can be a DAWG.

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

I honestly hope you're right. Although I can't say I care for how both Bronny and his agent handled things, I am rooting for Bronny to prove everyone wrong. I don't think he will though because there's too many signs suggesting that both the Lakers and LeBron are setting Bronny up for failure just to appease LeBron's fantasy about playing alongside his son. However, I am rooting for him to succeed, but we'll see.

I know it's more so said to be hyperbolic. But Marcus didn't fizzle out. He just stopped. He was best player on that team but stopped because that team didn't have a chance to make another tournament going into his senior year. He just didn't want to play anymore. Fizzle out would be him playing and just wasn't that good. Marcus was actually a prospect.
