Bronny James after Wednesday’s action at #NBA Draft combine.
Three thoughts:
1. Jrue Holiday, Davion Mitchell potential on defense?
2. Says he’s comfortable at one or two. Can James be a starting point guard in the NBA down the road?
3. Sounds just like his dad, LeBron James. pic.twitter.com/kw1QHE2Hbb – 5:32 PM

With LeBron looking on Bronny James was more comfortable and assertive on the second day of the NBA Combine. Playing primarily off the ball he got good, quick looks and finished with 13 pts, 2 asts on 4-10 shooting. Right now ranked No. 90 best available by ESPN. – 5:14 PM

More on this storyline
Yet many of the same people acknowledge that if Bronny’s last name were not James, and his dad were not LeBron, it wouldn’t even be a consideration. “No, he’s not good enough,” one talent evaluator who scouted Bronny at USC said. “Maybe if he went back to college for another year or two. But now? Not an NBA player. Not even close.” -via CBSSports.com / May 17, 2024
Yet Bronny, in these nearly 20 minutes, was not good. He went 2 for 8. He missed all four of his three-pointers. He had almost as many turnovers (3) as points (4). The game reflected that severe uncertainty I’ve heard from several scouts and NBA executives who filed through L.A. this past college hoops season to watch Bronny during his time at USC. That he’s not good enough, yet. That he needs a year or two more in college to give him a real shot at NBA success. That even then he may fail. -via CBSSports.com / May 17, 2024
The Jazz have expressed interest in bringing Bronny James in for an individual workout and could be interested in him with the 32nd pick, sources told Yahoo Sports. The franchise has been patiently rebuilding behind the leadership of Danny Ainge, and bringing in Bronny with the hopes of luring a superstar like LeBron could be the jump owner Ryan Smith is looking for to add a spark to the Jazz. -via Yahoo! Sports / May 16, 2024
