Draymond Green: Bronny James is going to end up being a better pro than a lot of players in this draft
Draymond Green: “Bronny is going to end up being a better pro than a lot of these players in this draft because he has the athleticism, the basketball IQ, plays the game the right way. I think he’s going to be a good shooter in the NBA, and I think a lot of people judge Bronny off of his production last year at USC, which is a little skewed because for anybody coming back in the middle of a season and trying to play when everybody’s in tip-top shape is hard to do that as a newcomer, as a freshman, as a rookie, miss training camp, miss some of the season, and you come in, it’s nearly impossible.”

The issue many had with the Lakers drafting Bronny James was using their first round pick (17) on him. They didn’t. They got a player projected to go sixth with that pick. They drafted Bronny 55th. He was ranked anywhere between 45-55 on many NBA draft big boards. No issue there. – 7:20 PM

I watched Bronny James once this season. This is what I saw.
In 20 minutes in USC’s 68-64 win over Utah, he had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. His athleticism was elite. He made every hustle play. He turned the game in USC’s favor.
Is he an NBA player? No one knows yet. – 6:59 PM

LeBron + Bronny James could be the first duo to play in the NBA at the same time in league history.
Who’s come closest to accomplishing that?

It’s official: Bronny James to the Lakers at 55.
Bronny brings such good connective feel as a passer, he’s an active defender, and a great teammate.
But at only 6-foot-2, it’s critical that he develops a reliable jumper.
Bronny shot only 19.6% on catch-and-shoot 3s at USC. pic.twitter.com/6IDPe0aR7B – 6:07 PM

More on this storyline
Draymond Green: “Number one, I’m not sure we’ve still reached a day where a European guy is the face of the NBA because the NBA is an American league. Like, and I’m just not sure we’ve hopped that hurdle yet. But we will soon see, or you all will see, because I know the real, how America still dominates. And by the way, when you look at domination, you can’t just also look at like, ‘Oh, this star and star.’ You have to look at the whole body of work, and if you look at the whole body of work of the US-born players in the NBA right now, the superstars of the NBA and the non-superstars that are from Europe and the superstars from America and the non-superstars from America, it’s not even close.” -via YouTube / June 28, 2024
Draymond Green: “Don’t tell me France is taking over the NBA because they had so many players drafted this year or that international, overseas, however you want to categorize it, don’t tell me that they’re taking over the NBA and they’re far more superior in the NBA because they had a lot of players drafted in what even before the draft started was kind of dubbed as the worst draft of the last 15 years. You cannot then say, ‘Oh, because that draft was dominated by European players or French players, that they’re now superior to and they’re taking over the NBA.’ That actually just doesn’t make sense to me.” -via YouTube / June 28, 2024
NBA on ESPN: “LeBron James got very emotional considering the weight of the moment.”
