Recently, Lakers star LeBron James was interviewed by a local media reporter in Cleveland after a training session at the All-Star Game, and when it comes to the last year of his career, he also admitted frankly: "In the last year of my career, I will play with Brownie, no matter where he goes, that's where I will go." Brownie is currently studying at Sierra Canyon High School, and in the recent 2023 draft rankings, because it is in the recovery stage, Brownie once fell more than 50, but recently with his healthy comeback, Brownie also improved his pick prediction to the 32nd pick.
According to NBA regulations, players must be at least 19 years old to participate in the draft. That is to say, the 18-year-old Brownie can participate in the NBA draft as soon as next year and compete with his father, LeBron James. And with the old Zhan's "where is my son where I am" remarks, Brownie is also likely to be favored by NBA teams when he enters the election next year.
In fact, a long time ago, James had expressed the idea of competing with his eldest son Brownie, but he did not think that he not only wanted to be on the same court as his son, but even wanted to be on the same team. If the two can really play on the same team, it will also create a big spectacle in the NBA, knowing that the NBA has never had a father and son competing on the same stage before this, let alone a picture of competing on the same team.
James, who is 37 years old this year, has also ushered in his 19th year of joining the NBA, although he is already in the twilight of his career, James can still hand over 29.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1 block this season, according to his current state, there is no problem in fighting for another 2 or 3 years, as long as there is no injury trouble, even in the last season of his career, I believe James can still become an important puzzle for the team to win the championship. That is to say, if an NBA team selects Brownie James, it will also get James, a superstar, so that the "buy one get one free" transaction is absolutely profitable.
In fact, brownie's current market, at best, may be a second round show, but this time the father stood up and spoke, it is estimated that Brownie's draft pick will be greatly improved after that, and may even come to the end of the first round, get Brownie's team, it is equivalent to getting the opportunity of "James to hold a retirement tour", so that the team's topic degree, exposure will usher in a significant increase, even if only James can have a season, but for these teams will also be a great gain. At present, it seems that teams such as the Rockets and Thunder, which have multiple first-round picks in the future draft, are potential next home for Brownie and LeBron James.
Throughout the NBA's draft conference over the years, there are only a few players who can play a famous game, but the traffic, economic benefits and all aspects of the impact brought by a Brownie are unmatched by other rookies, to put it bluntly, the NBA is a commercial league, it is true that the strength of the players is very important, but whether it can increase the team's revenue and exposure is also very important to most small-ball markets, so for those teams with smaller markets, they can really do deployment in advance, imagine, On the one hand, the future is an unknown and mediocre rookie, but on the other hand is a box of gold, such a trade-off, how the management should choose must be clear at a glance.
