You are insane. A washed up, retired Wade got his son to the g league. Someone will definitely take bronny just to get lebron. He will still probably be at least an 17, 7, and 5 guy by then

3 or 4 years of college won't do him any better than 3 or 4 years of NBA quality training and practices that he would get thanks to dad
NCAA programs are probably a major downgrade to the trainers and equipment he gets access to now on a daily basis, he just isn't very talented


This! NCAA is a wholeee lot of different than the NBA in terms of pace and spacing, and competition. If he wants to get better he should try to get to the NBA level ASAP and develop his game there, not sit there in college for 4 years.

I don't know he's an NBA caliber prospect but who knows with some work maybe he could become a serviceable 3&D guard off the bench.

He just doesn't have the height people were expecting. It's sad but it is what it is. He'll make it but it's gonna be hard for him to contribute and stick when Brons done. Lol I could see James Jones holding him down in PHX for Bron once he retires.
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

Uhm, let's just say that would be a tremendous surprise.

You get better by performing well enough at your current level and then moving upwards. It's not going to help Bronny to be thrust into the G-League where he's significantly inferior to everyone else there and will see minimal minutes as a result.

I think it'd take 2 years of NCAA hoops for Bronny to even be ready to sniff G-League minutes. By comparison, Gelo Ball was dusting people in High School, and would have been a legit bench scorer for UCLA. Bronny is...a roleplayer, maybe even bench warmer level for a good high school team. It's laughable to think he'd do anything but drown if thrown into a pool of G-League/NBA tiered talent.

You know that Lebron is married to the mother of his children, right?

As for Bronny, he's still probably worthy of a 2nd round pick as things are right now.
