Bronny James To Begin Playing In G League After Lakers' Road Trip

[RealGM Wiretap]

Bronny James will begin to shuttle between the Los Angeles Lakers and their G League affiliate following the team's upcoming road trip from October 28th until November 6th. One of the games includes a visit at the Cleveland Cavaliers where Bronny was born in October 2004.

G League training camps begin on November 7th.

James was the 55th overall pick in the draft and players selected in that part of the draft typically spend a considerable amount of time in the G League.

THIS!

Lebron selfishly forced Bronny into the NBA because he wanted to make HIS legacy better. Anybody with an ounce of basketball knowledge can see this kid is not an NBA player by any stretch of the imagination. He needs to spend a year or 2 in the G League or go back to college -- then come back to the pros when he's actually ready. He's nowhere near ready now.

Thanasis was drafted by the Knicks - not the Bucks. He scored 27 points in a meaningless late season game (not g-league or preseason but regular season). He also won many awards while playing in the Greek league. Of course he just a fringe player, but at least he has NBA size. There are many NBA roster players who are their mostly for size.

Rivers went to Duke and put up good stats there - of course he is going to be a high draft pick.

Bronny went to a high school program with legit NBA prospects and the teams were good. After those guys left, the team was no longer as competitive. He went to a lower tier D1 school and couldn't even start on a bad team. His preason stats were amongst the worst. More or less everyone else has shown something - he has not. And he is undersized. Any 6'1" player at the NBA level has some strong talent - good handle, good shooter, elite defense/speed - he has non of these.

GLeague is good for him, if he wants to be remembered as anything besides a nepobaby or the prop to the meaningless addition to his Fathers legacy (Genuinelly a "I stayed long enough in the league to see my son play next to me" award), he'll have to make something of himself down there. Its time to put up or shut up.
