More on this storyline
“I think Bronny James will go in the draft because of who he is, and some team will really think LeBron will come if they draft him,” an NBA scout told HoopsHype. “If the Lakers keep their pick, they won’t pass on him. He’s a decent player. He’s better than some guys who may get picked ahead of him. He’s solid, not spectacular. He knows how to play. He can handle the ball well enough. If you leave him alone, he’ll drill a three. He reminds me of Austin Rivers as a player, and he’s stayed in the league for over a decade.” -via HoopsHype / June 15, 2024
On a recent appearance on ‘The Green Light with Chris Long,’ Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle was put on the spot by being asked if the Pacers would select Bronny James with one of their second round picks. Obviously Carlisle wasn’t going to reveal the Pacers plans, but his answer was a little bit surprising. “Well I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that he goes quite a bit higher than that,” Rick Carlisle said. “I’m not going to say who, I don’t want to get in trouble. I’ve been fined enough this year during the playoffs.” -via Clutch Points / June 13, 2024
James worked out for the Lakers on Thursday, according to people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly. James’ athleticism, defensive potential and shooting at the Chicago draft combine have certainly interested the Lakers, who could help make history by pairing him with his father, LeBron James, should he return to the team in free agency this summer (if he opts out, as expected). -via Los Angeles Times / June 13, 2024
