It's official! James' son Bronny announced his entry into the 2024 NBA Draft! Last summer, he also suffered a heart attack that nearly threatened his life. Can he really play in the NBA?
In fact, Bronny has been playing for more than half a year, and he has been able to play for such a long time, and there are no physical problems during this period, this doubt can be dispelled.
Moreover, James, who loves his son like his life, will never allow him to continue playing if sports affect his eldest son's body, and now he can stand on the court again, it must be a decision made after a comprehensive evaluation. So, physical reasons are no longer the main factor affecting the brownie draft!
Aside from physical factors, can Bronny's strength really make him selected? The selection here does not refer to the kind of water cooler, before answering this question, let's take a look at Bronny's NCAA data, so far this season, Bronny has played 25 games, averaging 19.4 minutes per game, getting 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 turnovers, shooting 36.6% from the field, 26.7% from three-point range, and 67.6% from the free throw line.
This kind of data is not even ordinary, it is simply bad, and it is difficult to rely on such performance to participate in the NBA draft. However, because he is James's son, this identity is more useful than any data, and the media has been hyping the popularity of "James father and son competing on the same stage". "Father and son on the same stage" This is definitely the most wonderful moment in the NBA! I believe that the NBA league will not kill this historical moment. Even if it's just for one season...
Bronny himself said that he "still retains his college qualifications", which is intriguing, maybe Bronny has already thought that he will not stay in the NBA for a long time, and he is not capable of establishing himself in the NBA, and he participated in the draft, maybe just to achieve "competition on the same stage" with his father James?
Therefore, Bronny will definitely be selected in 2024, but as for how long he can play, it is unknown, maybe it will be a year, maybe it will be less than a year, maybe he will retire with his father James...
