Recently, NBA Hall of Fame Windhorst talked about James' eldest son Bronny on his podcast "Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective".
Everybody has an opinion about Bronny James," Windhorst said, "and I've been told that this guy made the first round in the draft, but not because of how good he was at the USC, but because the league teams had a different motive for selecting him. ”
Bronny currently plays for USC and has played in 12 games this season, starting four and averaging 19 per game2 minutes, get 56 points 28 rebounds, 2 assists, 08 steals 03 caps 14 turnovers, 35 three-point shooting8%/23.5%/68.8%。
Judging by ESPN's latest mock draft results, Bronny will be completely out of the NBA
And it's not just the authorities who aren't very optimistic about Bronny's draft prospects, just from the data of his college alone, it is very difficult for this data to make it to the NBA.
As a simple example, Vincent, who is now recovering from an injury with the Los Angeles Lakers, is an inspirational example of an undrafted player, but Vincent's stats in college were much better than Bronny's.
Throughout his college years, Vincent averaged 128 points 27 rebounds and 25 assists.
These statistics are better than Bronny's, but Vincent, who handed over such excellent statistics, still could not be selected by the NBA team, but fortunately, the Heat gave Vincent a chance to prove himself.
There aren't too many players like Vincent, which means that NBA teams won't give too many opportunities to lose the draft, and for Bronny, his personal data and physical talent are not outstanding, and if he wants to stand out among the many talents, Bronny is far from qualified right now.
So there is only one way for him to enter the NBA, and that is to "fight for his father"!
As for James, his biggest wish now is probably only to compete with his son.
In addition, for many NBA teams, the only reason why they will choose Bronny in the future is probably to hug Lao Zhan, the king of traffic, and earn some ticket income for their team!
As things stand, Bronny's attempt to get into the NBA through formal means - personal data is unlikely, but the advantage of having a superstar father is that he can go through the back door.
But considering Bronny's own development, as well as his self-esteem and many other factors, I still hope that James will not interfere too much in his son's choices and decisions, otherwise it will backfire in the future, and I am afraid it will cause another situation that is difficult to control, not to mention that Bronny's body already has certain defects.
So Lao Zhan should give up the idea of father and son on the same stage as soon as possible, and focus on leading the Lakers to win the championship better than anything else!
Fans and friends, do you think Bronny still has any hope of making it to the NBA? Welcome to discuss!
