LeBron James’ son has shy averages in his participation in college basketball and may choose to stay another year with USC before the Draft
Whether you like it or not, Bronny James is one of the most anticipated players in the 2024 Draft NBA. However, week after week, the son of LeBron James has been falling in experts’ projections and, at the moment, is even out of the first round. However, the player’s agent, Rich Paulensures that the athlete’s position does not matter to him, but rather being on the right team.
“I don’t value a young player being picked in the lottery as much as putting him on the right team in a proper development situation.”, Bronny’s agent clarified. Since High School, when he played for Sierra Canyon, LeBron’s firstborn is one of the top names in the Draft. After he left high school, he was ranked in the top 30 in his class. Afterwards, “CBS Sports” ranked him as a lottery pick.
But, since he began his journey through University of Southern California, began to plummet in projections. The slide began after he suffered cardiac arrest and postponed his USC debut. After recovering, he has already played 20 games, but has poor averages of 5.3 points, 2.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds.
In the most recent “ESPN” mock, LeBron’s son is out of this Draft. Therefore, the young man’s selection could only happen in 2025, something that his father did not like. The station’s Mock Draft is made by Jonathan Givony, college basketball and prospects expert. Bronny’s low production could leave the player playing for another year in college.
So, LeBron used his social networks to show all his discontent with his son’s fall in the rankings. “I wish you guys would let the kid just be a kid and enjoy college basketball. Is this too much to ask? I do not think. To your knowledge, he doesn’t care what they say in these reports and projections. Above all, he is a great worker. Success is not a guarantee”, shot. But he later ended up deleting the post.
Stephen A. Smithfrom “ESPN”, believes that Bronny’s falls also have a lot to do with his father. “I think funny. Forgive me, but this is all his fault. Are you seriously going to talk about people in the media and that journalists need to leave your son alone? The one who put pressure on him was LeBron himself, saying he had the dream of playing with him in the NBA. And I honestly understand that if he wanted that, it would be beautiful. But just admit it, it was you and not the media.”he commented.
