Bronny James is entering the 2024 NBA Draft [Shams]

[Pelly24]

There's a chance he goes back to school still. But Bronny, I must emphasize, is a 6'2" barefoot forward. In the NBA, it's hard Kobe an undersized shooting guard who can't shoot. Usually those guys are at least freak athletes. Bronny lacks half court athleticism on offense. Can't blow by anyone. Got to the rim 0 times on all of his ball screens this season. ZERO TIMES. think about that. It's almost unheard of. On top of that, Bronny has a very loose handle. Because of that and his general lack of mobility with the ball, he's functionally more like a smart-passing combo forward. So he's a 6'2" forward that can't shoot or handle the ball. He has an elite IQ and good athleticism for defense and good open court athleticism. But he simply lack great basketball skills and functional half court athleticism, and that's why he couldn't really excel this year. He could be a good college player and maybe an NBA player one day. But his handle/mobility/lack of burst is very, very detrimental to his chances. His getting drafted would be pure and absolute nepotism.

I never understood the earn a degree thing. Bronny already has his own net worth of over a million dollars. He's never going to work a 9-5, the degree is pointless to a guy like him.

Kinda, maybe, but maybe not.
Look, I agree he doesn't need a degree, assuming LeBron is sharing the wealth with his kids to ANY degree.
But perhaps Bronny wants to take over part of the business, or similar. Getting some level of education in business isn't a bad idea. Not that he needs the degree itself, but...

Similarly, his game ain't NBA ready (to put it mildly, imho). Go back to college (or pro somewhere other than the NBA, perhaps...) and work on that.

He doesn't even need LeBron's money. He already has his own million and that is only going to increase with the endorsements he's signed.

Yeah, I know.
But he might WANT to take over part of the business, or similar.

There's nothing he's gonna learn in an undergraduate business class that he cannot learn on the internet or by just hands on doing it.

The piece of paper is just a way to gatekeep average Joe's from acquiring certain roles/titles/salaries. The degree is by no means a necessity to run a business.

If the case to return to school is to work on his game, cool but the education piece is a non factor, to a guy who is already a millionaire at 19.

We don't have to agree. It's cool.

[HEAT33]

He might enter just to play with LeBron, coz who knows how long LeBron has, its only a matter of time before he turns into a G league level player. Once you in your 40's sometimes it just happens over night.

[Berbasecks]

Well If I'm a GM, I'm 100% picking him in the 2nd round (only because of LBJ)

Hope the Heat draft him and LeBron finishes his career there with Spo and Durant lmao

[crows2]

He won’t get drafted unless a team gets a 100% guarantee that LeBron will join them. He’s not a draftable prospect on his own.

So he can simply sign a minimum contract and choose his team? Which would make him go to the Lakers since LeBron is already playing there.

He can take one of the bench warmers spot and learn from LeBron the next 3 yrs

Breaking news from Shams!

"Lakers are open to drafting Bronny this June to help fulfill LeBron's dream to play with his son""

[SUPERVILLAIN]

Bronny is not a first round pick.

[azcatz11]

I assume Rich Paul is going to tell teams not to draft him...

[kieferli]

Raptors going to draft him at 31

[fendilim]

I’d draft bronny then stash him.

Just so i can see lebron play more years.

[MrTribbiani]

He's definitely worth a pick in the second round. The first round is a quasi-crapshoot for the most part, and the second round is a complete crapshoot (a team would lose nothing by drafting him in that part of the draft).

[SweaterBae]

Bronny is not a fourth round pick.

[Pantsman]

I assume Rich Paul is going to tell teams not to draft him...

He doesn’t have to
