On May 14, Beijing time, James' eldest son Bronny participated in the Chicago joint tryout, and his official measurement data has been released, and his real height has shrunk seriously. The Athletic's Winhorst reported that while everyone expects father and son to be on the same stage, other teams don't get James by selecting Bronny. James still prefers to stay with the Lakers, and the Lakers will still try to get father and son on the same team.

Brownie has shrunk in height

Previously, Bronny's official NCAA height was 6 feet 4 inches (about 1.93 meters), but the joint tryout announced a height of 6 feet 1.5 inches (about 1.87 meters) without shoes. American media said that in today's NBA league, the 1.87-meter point guard still seems a little short.

In addition, the arm span measured by the brownie trial is 2.01 meters, the weight is 95 kilograms, the height of the jump on the spot is 3.07 meters, the hand length is 21.6 cm, and the hand width is 24.1 cm. In terms of Bronny's height, his reach stats are pretty good.

In the 2023-24 season, Bronny's freshman season at USC was mediocre, averaging 4.8 points and 2.1 assists per game, and shooting only 26.7% from three-point range. ”

Wenhorst said that some scouts have thought Bronny has not been doing well this year, but he may actually be a little better than he has shown. Bronny underwent surgery for cardiac arrest nine months ago, and he has now passed a medical examination for a joint tryout and is allowed to play in the NBA.

Picking him doesn't mean getting James

Bronny is expected to stay in the NBA draft and will not drop out and play another year at school, Shams said. "It's really not a question of whether Bronny can be drafted, it's a question of where he can be drafted," Shams said. ”

James has said in an end-of-season interview that he hasn't been thinking much about playing with Bronny lately. "The young man will decide what he wants to do and how he wants his career to develop."

Wenhorst also said: "Over the past few months, James and Bronny's agent, Rich Paul, has been trying to break the notion that selecting Bronny means getting James. I believe James will choose to jump out of his contract...... The option of giving up playing with Bronny was also on the table, but I don't think that's the most important thing. I do think he (James) is going to come back to the Lakers. ”

Previously, Bronny was popular with some teams because getting him seemed to mean getting James, but if Bronny couldn't attract James, Bronny's own attractiveness would naturally drop a lot.

Some media photoshopped a photo of James father and son and Trae Young's Hawks jersey, ridiculing that the Eagles used the top pick to select Bronny to get Lao Zhan, obviously, this is an impossible real scene.

The Lakers will still try to get father and son on the same team

Downplaying the father-son stage may have been a strategy by James' team to avoid other teams interfering so that the Lakers could have a chance to draft Bronny.

"I think if the Lakers had a chance to draft Bronny, they'd do that," Wenhorst said. Whether it's the 55th pick, or if they're making another trade around a draft pick, getting another pick, I think they're going to try. I don't think that's going to be their top priority, and the league isn't going to look at it the same way that you can get James if you draft Bronny. ”

It has been previously reported that the Lakers are indeed interested in selecting Bronny, but they are not prepared to do so with the No. 17 pick in the first round. Bronny's latest odds show that the Lakers are still the top favorites to draft him, and they are far ahead, with the Knicks, Heat, Cavaliers, 76ers and Thunder tied for second.
