The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and off the court, the just-concluded NBA draft pick draw is just as hot, and for Lakers fans, they are now more concerned about how the Lakers will use their first-round pick in the offseason, or rather, most Lakers fans are watching whether the Lakers will choose James' eldest son Bronny in the draft, so as to attract James to stay.
It is undeniable that Lakers fans are happy to see James father and son get together in the Lakers, after all, the first pair of fathers and sons on the same stage in history is indeed very attractive, and Lakers management is also willing to use such a gimmick to make more ticket money, not to mention that signing Bronny is conducive to keeping James, according to previous news, the Lakers are willing to pay any price to keep James, and they are also inclined to choose Bronny in the draft. But at the same time, some fans will also be worried, is Bronny really capable of playing in the NBA? Will he let the Lakers waste a draft pick?
First of all, it is certain that because of James's reasons, as well as the commercial value of father and son on the same stage, Bronny enters the NBA without any suspense, the crux of the problem is that he can only enter the NBA as James's son, or can he really rely on his own strength to enter the NBA, the former is undeniably a key reason, but we can't ignore Bronny's ability, from the latest NBA trial results, Bronny's performance is beyond expectations, and it can even be said, Even if he wasn't James' son, he had a chance to make it to the NBA.
According to the physical test data released on the official website of the NBA, Bronny's official physical test data is: barefoot height of 1.87 meters, arm span of 2.01 meters, weight 95.4 kg, slightly insufficient height, but after wearing shoes, he is also a guard in his early 1.9 meters, and his vertical bounce is close to Rose, indicating that height does not affect his athleticism. And Bronny's arm span is very good, and more importantly, he weighs 95.4 kg, which belongs to the heavy tank among guards, as a comparison, the Warriors Curry weighs 83 kg, the Nuggets Murray weighs 97 kg, and what the Lakers lack is a guard like Bronny who has weight and can fight.
In fact, as early as high school, many scouts believed that Bronny's future positioning in the NBA would be a 3D guard, his talent and ability doomed him to not be the star of the NBA team, but he definitely has the ability to become a team's championship puzzle, and in the tryout, he did show a stable three-point shooting, and his physical fitness also allowed him to show good defensive ability in high school and college, after the NBA coach's adjustment, he is indeed worth looking forward to.
An NBA reporter said on a TV show: "I think the perception of Bronny's ability to play is that as a 6-foot-3 guard, he can play multiple positions and he can defend. You know what he can bring to the table on the defensive end, and you know you need to have a development plan for him at the beginning. "Actually, as things stand, Bronny has the potential to develop into a steel cannon heavy guard like Lowry or Smart, and if he can be Smart's Smart, then the Lakers will have the best choice to defend Curry and Murray next time they meet the Warriors or Nuggets.
To sum up, basically NBA scouts and the media believe that Bronny has the ability to play in the NBA, but he couldn't be a starter at the beginning, and his talent and ability are better than some people expect, at least the performance of the trial is amazing, not incompetent, and he doesn't play well in college games, on the one hand, it is the impact of illness, on the other hand, it is the positioning of the team, and there are many players who play average in college, but after entering the NBA, they have been soaring all the way, so whether it is from the feelings, or commercial value, or talent Taobao, The Lakers' choice of Bronny is a sure-fire deal.
